When Te Puke New Zealand teenager Judith Utting first discovered she had a bone tumour on her knee, she did not know the likely outcome of the diagnosis. She did not even associate the word 'malignant' with the word 'cancer'.
That understanding developed quickly. Hospital visits, biopsy surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, adjustment to physical limitations-all were stages in an apparently satisfactory recovery. But then her struggle to regain a normal life was interrupted by further complications.
Judith's mind was flooded with unanswered questions: Why has God allowed this? If I haven't enough faith, will God still heal me? How am I going to cope with the pain?
Read how a New Zealand teenager worked through her doubts and fears with courage to find an answer that made sense-and how her struggle touched a whole community.
