In December 2017, author Janie Shelton was diagnosed with stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After six months of intensive chemotherapy, she believed she was cancer-free. Then in 2021, her cancer returned with a vengeance. Always an optimist, she fought her second fight against the odds while undergoing CAR T-cell therapy. Janie’s cancer is now in remission. In A Lantern Must Be Lit, Janie shares the story of her cancer journey as she defied death to live and surrendered life to shine bright while embracing her lantern within to eventually spark the lantern ablaze. This life-changing journey involved growth, failure, fear, disappointment, patience, persistence, but above all, hope. Janie shares how she knows God allowed her to go through her cancer journey so she can share hope and encouragement with others and shine a light for all to see. A Lantern Must Be Lit serves to inspire others who face challenging times in their life.
