“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
In the quiet rooms of a hospital, where the air often feels heavy with clinical smells and whispered anxieties, it is easy to lose sight of the light. For months, our family has walked through a valley that felt shadowed and steep. We have lived from scan to scan, from blood test to blood test, holding our breath every time a doctor walked into the room. But today, we aren’t just holding our breath—we are breathing it out in a shout of praise.
We have just received a medical update that can only be described as a major breakthrough. This is the report we have been fasting for, crying for, and storming heaven for. This is the evidence of things not seen finally becoming visible to the naked eye and the medical scanners.
The Victory in His Leg: A Battle Won
The most staggering news comes from the latest review of Will’s leg. As many of you know, the cancer in his leg has been the primary source of concern, threatening his mobility and presenting a complex challenge for the surgical teams. The doctors looked at the latest results and gave us words we have waited an eternity to hear: The cancer in Will’s leg is no longer active.
Let that sink in for a moment. Every single “skip lesion”—those dangerous, unpredictable spots where the cancer tried to take root and spread—has been confirmed as DEAD.
This is not just a minor improvement; this is a total shift in the landscape of his treatment. By the cancer being rendered inactive, the immense pressure and the dark cloud surrounding his upcoming surgeries have significantly lifted. The surgeons now have a clearer path. The “unthinkable” options that were once on the table are being pushed aside by the power of healing. Our little warrior’s body is responding. It is fighting back. It is reclaiming the ground that the enemy tried to steal.
The Battle in the Lungs: Understanding the Necrosis
As with any complex war, there are multiple fronts. The latest scans also focused on Will’s lungs, where two cancerous nodules were previously identified. The report showed that these nodules have actually grown in size. To a casual observer, “growth” sounds like a setback. But here is where the expertise of our medical team and the miracle of science and prayer intersect.
The specialists have indicated that even though these nodules are larger, they are necrotic. In medical terms, necrosis means that the tissue is dying. When cancer cells are hit with effective treatment, they often swell before they wither away. They become “dead weight.” The fact that they are necrotic is a massive sign that the treatment is doing exactly what it was designed to do: it is suffocating the cancer from the inside out.
While we continue to monitor his lungs with a watchful eye and a prayerful heart, we do not view this growth with fear. We view it as the final, desperate gasp of a defeated foe. The cancer is dying.
A Community of Warriors
We know with every fiber of our being that we did not get to this day alone. We are standing on the shoulders of a community that has refused to give up. We are standing on the prayers of friends, family, and even strangers across the globe who have taken Will’s name to the throne of God.
To the moms who have prayed for Will while tucking their own children into bed; to the “Prayer Warriors” who have sent us messages of encouragement when we were at our lowest; to the doctors and nurses who have treated Will not just as a patient, but as a hero—this victory belongs to you, too.
We often talk about “Will Strong,” but the truth is that Will’s strength is amplified by yours. Every time you share a post, every time you wear a ribbon, every time you whisper his name in prayer, you are adding another brick to the fortress surrounding our son.
The Fragility of Life and the Power of Hope
If this journey has taught us anything, it is that life is incredibly fragile. We have seen how quickly a sunny day can turn into a storm. But we have also seen that hope is the most resilient force on earth. Hope doesn’t mean that the path is easy; it means that the destination is certain.
Today, we are looking at our son—a boy who has endured more in a few months than most people do in a lifetime—and we see a victor. We see the light returning to his eyes. We see a body that is being restored, cell by cell, by the Hand of the Creator.
What Comes Next?
The war is not over. We are celebrating this massive victory, but we are keeping our armor on. There are still surgeries to face, more treatments to endure, and a long road of recovery ahead. But the momentum has shifted. The tide has turned.
We are moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose. We are moving forward knowing that the God who deactivated the cancer in his leg is the same God who is finishing the work in his lungs. We are moving forward with the conviction that Will Roberts is going to have a testimony that will shake the world.
How You Can Help Today
We ask you to keep the fire burning. Do not let up.
- Rejoice with us! Take a moment to thank God for the dead lesions and the necrotic nodules. Gratitude is a powerful weapon.
- Continue to pray. Pray specifically for the upcoming surgeries, that the doctors’ hands would be guided by divine wisdom.
- Spread the hope. Share this update. There is so much bad news in the world today—let’s let the world know that miracles are still happening. Let’s let other families fighting cancer know that “incurable” is just a word, and “impossible” is where God starts His best work.
Will, we are so proud of you. You are teaching us what it means to be a soldier. You are teaching us what it means to have faith. Keep fighting, B. The whole world is cheering you on.
The cancer is losing. The light is winning. God is good.
