Jessie's Story

At the end of June 2025, about 18 months into my cancer journey, I met with my doctors to review my latest PET scan. The results were not what we had hoped for, what had once been four affected lymph nodes had now grown to nine.

​

By that point, I had already walked through surgery, multiple rounds of chemotherapy, a sepsis diagnosis, and even a natural healing journey that took me out of the country for care. When I returned home, I was worse than when I had left. I was physically exhausted, emotionally drained, and overwhelmed with fear.

​

My relationship with Jesus had always been my anchor, but in that moment I reached a breaking point. I remember surrendering completely and praying, “Lord, whatever comes next, I want to do this for Your glory. Please help me. Keep me here until You are finished using me.” I trusted that whatever the outcome, God would walk with me as He always had.

​

It was during that difficult season that I was introduced to First Nations Clinic. I wasn’t sure I would even be able to be a patient, but once again God made a way. I was only 31 miles from the clinic, and every door seemed to fling wide opened. Yet through it all, God continued to remind me, “I walk with you.” So I moved forward in faith, and left my fear behind. I knew He had me where I needed to be. 

​

On July 1, 2025, I began nano-therapy treatments. Compared to everything I had endured before, this new treatment felt almost too simple, but was definitely a welcomed relief. I was used to treatments consuming my entire day, it was such a nice change to be using effective therapies that didn’t affect my daily life in a negative way as the others had. We tend to think the worse you feel the more effective the treatment, this just wasn’t the case for me.

By the end of August, after only six treatment days, I traveled again for scans and blood work out of country.  I was anxious and uncertain about the results. After my MRI we had a meeting with my doctor at the time, he entered the room almost puzzled, I even remarked “Do you have bad news? He said “oh no, just thinking”.  What had been nine lymph nodes just two months earlier was now reduced to one small node. We were overjoyed, yet cautiously hopeful. This seems to be the case with us cancer patients.

When I returned to First Nations Clinic and shared the results I had just received, the staff praised God right alongside us. Their care goes far beyond treatment. They pray boldly, love deeply, and minister to the whole person: spirit, soul, and body.

​

At the end of September, I had one remaining lymph node in my left axillary area. The doctors treated it on Monday. When we returned the next day, it was gone. Completely gone. A week later, scans confirmed it, clear lymph nodes.

I stood in awe, humbled that God would allow me to witness such a miracle in my own body. God gets all the Glory! 

​

First Nations Clinic has changed the course of our family’s life and the lives of countless others. They offer care that is scientifically sound, data-driven, and boldly faith-centered. I cannot recommend them highly enough, as I share with so many that I’ve met on this journey, plant based treatments are worth trying first. I’m so thankful to have this groundbreaking treatment available and to have an option outside the standard of care.
