For the next three days, News 13 takes a look at the power of prayer and healing.
At 37, Pam Oldham faces metastatic breast cancer, stage four, which means it is more advanced, and the cancer has spread.
"It was not good," Pam said. "You hear 'stage four cancer,' and regardless of what, today, cancer is, the reality is stage four cancer is huge."
Pam knew she was in the fight of her life. She started chemo immediately, then began taking a new drug at the time — called herceptin — and then, surgery.
It was a tough time for Pam's family, with two young kids.
"Trey was too little," Pam recalled. "He was 18 months old. Morgan Lee was very aware."
"As I sat there, getting my chemo treatments, I realized you could have hope, or you have none," Pam said.
Pam chose hope — there was no other option.
It has been three years since Pam's diagnosis.
"Am I out of the blue? No," she said. "We'll rejoice if I know I've been given another day. That's all I can ask for."
Pam's family certainly helped get her through this crisis, but there was something else that made an impact.
It was not just her doctors Pam relied on. Wait until you hear what she and her family did next.
