On October 22, 2015 Amy was given some bad news. Three weeks earlier she notices some lumps in her neck. After CT scans and a biopsy she found herself on that Thursday afternoon in an oncology doctor's office being told that she had a rare cancer and had three to six months to live. Her reply was okay (like it was no big deal). She was a bit excited to know that soon she may see Jesus. However, this was just another short pause in her ministry. Very much alive and cancer free in September 2018, she finished a new record aptly titled, The God of All Hope, the fourth CD in her Anthology Series.

Amy's message has evolved through the cancer experience. The peace of Christ and her lack of fear has sustained her as she continues to fight against a disease that strikes terror into those who do not have the assurance of life with Christ.
