"It just further confirms in my heart and my mind that we experience and learn more about the character of God in the valley than we ever will in a mountaintop. I've never heard God speak audibly, but I know what His presence feels like, and He's been so kind and so near." -Natalie Grant

(Nashville, TN)—[Gospelherald.com] CCM artist Natalie Grant has revealed that two tumors discovered on the right side of her thyroid were, in fact, cancerous—but doctors "got it all" in a surgery she underwent last week. (Photo: Natalie Grant/via GospelHerald.com)

In a Facebook video shared Monday afternoon, Grant revealed she recently received the pathology report from the surgery, in which doctors at Vanderbilt Medical Center removed the right side of her thyroid.

"The pathology results have revealed that it was in fact papillary thyroid cancer," she said. "Now, I had two cancerous nodules inside that right lobe, but pathology has also revealed that the cancer was completely contained within those nodules. So, in other words, they got it all. The doctor's office actually said, 'Congratulations! You have no more cancer in your body!'"

She continued: "So, it literally is like the cancer was stopped dead in its tracks, fully encapsulated inside those nodules. Not a branch out, no growth, they tested the surrounding tissue and neighboring lymph node, all of which showed no signs of cancer or cancerous cells. All of the tissue was completely clean. So, when they took out that right lobe, they took out the cancer. So, hallelujah."

The "Held" singer said "this is the best possible outcome" and thanked her fans for their support.

"Your faith has strengthened my faith and I am eternally grateful," she said. "And thank you to all of you for praying and believing and just storming the throne of God on my behalf."
