Jan de Chambrier was thirty-seven when the doctors found the tumour. It was behind her uterus. Uterine cancer — a diagnosis that is unusual in a woman that young. The statistics, the treatment options, the prognosis — all of it landed in a single conversation that changed everything.
But there was something else. Something that made no medical sense.
Jan was pregnant.
The First Miracle
The doctors were baffled. Given the location and nature of the cancer, conception should have been medically impossible. The tumour was positioned in a way that made pregnancy a biological contradiction. And yet, there she was — carrying a child that the cancer said should not exist.
The pregnancy was the first miracle. Before the healing conversation even began, God had already announced His presence in the most dramatic way possible — by creating life in a body that was being consumed by disease.
The Fear
The fear was doubled. Fear for her own life. Fear for the life of her unborn child. The collision of cancer and pregnancy creates a unique kind of terror — every treatment decision carries implications for two lives, not one. Every scan reveals information about a tumour and a baby. Every day is a negotiation between fighting the cancer and protecting the child.
Jan felt the fear. She did not deny it. She did not spiritualise it away with easy answers. The terror was real and it was loud.
The Encounter
But something louder arrived. In the middle of the fear, Jan encountered God — not as a concept but as a presence. The scripture that anchored her was Isaiah 53:5: "By his wounds we are healed." She took that verse from the page and planted it in the reality of her cancer diagnosis. It became her daily declaration. Not a wish. A weapon.
The fear did not disappear immediately. It was displaced gradually, as God's love filled the spaces that terror had tried to claim. Jan describes the process as love moving into rooms that fear had occupied — systematically, persistently, until fear had nowhere left to stand.
The Healing
Jan was healed. The cancer was treated and eliminated. Her child was born healthy. Two miracles — one pregnancy that should not have been possible, one healing that medical science could not fully explain.
She went on to become a preacher, teacher, intercessor, and prayer leader. She shared her testimony in healing conferences and churches across Europe and the United Kingdom, where her story became a cornerstone of the faith-healing movement.
Twenty-Six Years Later
Then the cancer returned. A second bout of uterine cancer, more than two decades after the first. Fear came back with it — the same fear, wearing the same clothes, knocking on the same door.
But Jan had been here before. She knew what God's love felt like when it displaced fear. She knew the script. And she knew the God who had healed her the first time was the same God standing with her the second time.
She was healed again. The second miracle continued to prove what the first had started: that God is not a one-time healer. He is faithful across decades, across diagnoses, across the return of the very thing you thought was behind you.
What This Means for You
If you have beaten cancer once and it has come back — if the fear is not just the fear of cancer but the fear of going through it again — Jan de Chambrier knows that road. She walked it twice. And both times, she found that God's love was waiting, ready to do what it had done before.
Fear will try to convince you that lightning does not strike twice. That healing was a one-time event. That this time, you are on your own.
That is a lie. The same God who healed you then is healing you now. The same love that cast out fear the first time will cast it out again. By His wounds you are healed — not once, but as many times as you need it.
