The woman who fought breast cancer for the second time shared her strength

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) – Being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time is enough to make anyone question everything, but one woman living with metastatic stage four cancer is sticking to what she believes.

“I was shocked, numb, terrified, terrified…” these are the words that describe how Stephanie Robinson felt when she learned of her 36-year-old husband and mother’s first breast cancer diagnosis in June 2019.

This was only the beginning of his suffering.

“A lot of things happened after all this… my father died suddenly, my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thank goodness hers was very early and she is doing well and everything is fine now. And then my mom passed away at the end of that year of my life,” Stephanie said.

While many people choose to run away from faith, Stephanie decided to immerse herself in it.

This is something he has already been doing for years as Connections Pastor. Lighthouse Church in Panama City.

“This is where God did his most amazing work in my life and my trust in him reached a whole new level,” he explained.

She said it meant trusting God with her body while losing the things that made her feel like a woman.

“I made it a big head shaving party the first time,” he added, “I felt like it would be less traumatic if I kept shaving my head rather than having it fall off in pieces.”

This meant trusting God with his family as he asked if he could raise his children.

She says it also means trusting God with her life because of the fact that she may not survive because her cancer is now advanced.

“We have the gift of eternal life and we will be together,” he said.

She is currently fighting her second battle with breast cancer.

Her mission is to share what brings her peace in the midst of pain.

“Our prayer and our thought life are the same thing, and of course the spirit, the holy spirit, directs us and guides us through that prayer, but we learn how to hold thoughts really well and what that is and how to let the scriptures breathe life. in,” he said.

He says it is important to keep a good rhythm with each breath of precious life.

“When is it time to rest? Like, when is it time to refuel? So when is it time to get out there and push? And is there some quality? Because just sitting there makes things worse,” he explained.

She watches what she eats and continues to coach her daughter’s volleyball team, a sport she once enjoyed.

He remains close to his church family and community and works to maintain a normal life for himself and his family.

“By God, I surrender my life to you. “This is yours, and I trust you whether I understand my situation or not,” Stephanie said.

Stephanie, who started as a way to leave a legacy for her daughters, is currently working on a book.
