Ex-Victoria’s Secret Model Who Quit For Christ Reveals Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis
An ex-Victoria’s Secret model who has asked the public for prayer amid a Stage 4 cancer battle said she’s feeling “God’s love like never before.” Nicole Weider, 38, discovered her cancer last month, and recently told CBN Digital about her journey, what’s ahead, and how she’s relying on her faith to get through the pain and uncertainty. “Obviously, with the Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, I’ve been feeling so many different emotions,” she said. “Shock at first was my first emotion, and then I was feeling overwhelmed, and then I was feeling sad.”
Weider has been openly sharing her diagnosis and the resulting emotions, taking to Instagram to offer vulnerable and faith-filled updates. Over the years, the former model has built a platform based on her departure from the modeling world and her embrace of the Christian faith. “Over the years, I’ve already been public about my faith and being a Christian,” Weider said. “And so, when found out I had cancer, it just felt natural for me to share with people who have been following me … and also like writing about this is very freeing to me and it’s therapeutic.”
Weider’s cancer journey when she discovered an enlarged lymph node and assumed she had an infection. She went to an urgent care location assuming she’d be given an antibiotic. It was there doctors began to realize something far more troubling was unfolding. “[The doctor] came in and he looked at it and he felt it, and he is like, ‘This doesn’t feel normal,'” Weider said. “And then he’s like, ‘I want to order you a full body scan.'” Within 10 minutes, a radiologist came in and told her she had breast cancer — a statement that left Weider in total and utter shock. She also discovered the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and liver. She was immediately admitted to a local hospital, where the diagnosis was confirmed and further information was given.
Despite the chaos and uncertainty, Weider said she’s trusting God. “It’s been all these little God things that have happened to me that I’m like, ‘I feel God’s presence throughout this process,'” she said. “And I’m just seeing God’s love like pop up in all these different ways, showing me that I’m not alone.” Weider continued, “I know this is happening for a reason. God is with me. I trust Him.” Watch her share the details.
