Tim Keller Hospitalized: Wife Kathy Gives Bleak Cancer Update

Last year, Tim Keller gave an update on his ongoing health crisis, and it was encouraging but not without its challenges. Keller was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2020 but was taking positive steps toward recovery. This was excellent news, as the recovery rates are devastatingly low. According to John Hopkins Hospital, “The combined five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer—the percentage of all patients who are living five years after diagnosis—is meager at just 5 to 10 percent” because it is typically caught so late in the game.

Sadly, Keller announced on Twitter in December of 2021 that his pancreatic cancer had progressed into stage IV, regarded as incurable. The five-year survival rate is 1%, with most patients expected to live less than a year- usually around six months.

Keller has survived for 18 months now but is facing new challenges. Two months he wrote on Facebook that while his previous immunotherapy successfully eradicated 99% of the tumors, new tumors had formed “in some fairly inconvenient places,” and he would be going in for further treatment.

Last weekend, Kathy Kathy posted a request for prayer after Tim was hospitalized following complications from his treatment.

Hours ago, his son Michael wrote that despite being briefly released from the hospital, his father was forced to return to receive additional care.

Continue to pray that Keller recovers and is miraculously healed.
