Hope and Healing: Oncologist Dr. Sylvia Fowler Shares Her Journey Through Faith and Medicine - Episode 2 of 6 of the Cancer Sucks, Jesus Saves Summer Series
Cancer Sucks, Jesus Saves is a six-part podcast series that tackles the raw reality of cancer while shining a light on unshakable hope in Christ. In today's deeply personal and thought-provoking episode of Cancer Sucks, Jesus Saves, we sit down with a compassionate oncologist, Dr. Sylvia Fowler, who opens up about the emotional and spiritual toll of walking alongside patients through their cancer journeys. With raw honesty, she shares how witnessing both hope and heartbreak on a daily basis has shaped her view of God, life, and purpose.
We explore the sacred tension where science meets faith—how she leans on Jesus in moments when medicine falls short, and how her calling to heal often leads her to the foot of the cross. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a person of faith, or someone touched by cancer, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the soul of a doctor who treats more than just disease—she ministers to the brokenhearted.
Because even though cancer sucks, Jesus still saves.
This episode honors the unseen heroes: the medical professionals who commit their lives to saving lives.
Stay tuned for four more episodes Thursdays between August 7th - August 28th. Each episode will bring a different perspective to the conversation:
- a survivor whose life's work has been shaped by the diagnosis,
- a caregiver walking the hard road alongside a loved one,
- someone who is currently battling cancer, and
- a therapist/counselor who helps navigate the emotional and spiritual toll.
Together, these voices remind us that while cancer is devastating, it doesn’t have the final say—Jesus does.
