During Kim Harms’s cancer
treatment, her middle son became seriously ill and was ultimately diagnosed with
ulcerative colitis. Many days, Kim felt as though she
were drowning. With both conditions bringing lifelong challenges, she learned to thrive and live fully amid ongoing suffering.

Whether it’s yours or a loved one’s, a cancer diagnosis changes everything. It stops you in your tracks as you put everything you have into fighting for life. It can feel isolating being thrown into the unknown chaos of treatment.
But you are not alone.With uplifting stories from dozens of women who have been where you are, Carried Through Cancer provides emotional and spiritual support, encouragement, and community in its true stories of God-filled moments within the hard and heartbreaking road of cancer.
God meets some people in their fear in the exam room and others in the shower where the flowing water drowns out tears, but regardless of the location, this 70-day devotional demonstrates that God shows up when people reach out to Him, and He is there to carry you through your story.
