Joy and Grief: Paola's Story with Breast Cancer at Age 27

How do you hold on to faith when life takes an unexpected turn?

At just 27 years old, Paola was faced with a life-changing breast cancer diagnosis. In this episode, she shares her deeply personal journey—the emotional turmoil of navigating the medical system, the weight of treatment decisions, and the mental battles that followed. Paola opens up about the toll of chemotherapy, the grief and surrender of future dreams, and the resilience required to keep moving forward.

But through it all, faith became her anchor. She talks about the ways God met her in the hardest moments, how she spends time with Him, and what it means to find peace while holding joy and grief at the same time. Whether you're facing cancer, walking alongside a loved one, or simply in a season of uncertainty, Paola’s story is a powerful reminder that hope is never out of reach.
