R&B legend turned minister Montell Jordan has a new testimony of victory to share. The “This Is How We Do It” singer and pastor recently announced that he is officially cancer-free after a grueling second battle with the disease, declaring himself “undetected and healed.”
In a powerful update shared with fans and followers in early February 2026, Jordan revealed that he received the life-changing news on Christmas Day 2025—a gift he describes as “surreal.”
The Battle Returns This victory marks the end of a challenging two-year journey for the 57-year-old worship leader. Jordan’s health battle first began in early 2024 when he was diagnosed with Stage 1 prostate cancer following a routine PSA test. At that time, he underwent a radical prostatectomy, a surgery that doctors initially believed had removed the cancer entirely.
However, the fight wasn’t over. Nearly a year later, follow-up scans revealed that the cancer had returned, this time appearing in his lymph nodes as an “aggressive” Stage 2 form.
What Pulled Him Through Facing a recurrence that he described as a “rollercoaster,” Jordan leaned heavily on his faith, medical treatment, and a complete lifestyle overhaul. He underwent 37 rounds of proton radiation treatment to target the aggressive cells.
But Jordan credits more than just medicine for his healing. He points to a “trinity” of support that pulled him through: his unwavering faith in God, the dedicated support of his wife of over 30 years, Kristin Jordan, and a strict commitment to physical health.
“Everything that we do, we have to do in tandem and in unison in order for it to last,” Kristin shared regarding their journey. Together, the couple adopted a rigorous new health regimen, cutting out sugar and dairy entirely and committing to daily exercise to help his body fight the disease.
The Victory Announcement The breakthrough came on Christmas morning. “Christmas Day we found out that we are undetected, cancer-free,” Jordan told People magazine. “We’re finally at an all-clear and I feel fantastic.”
Standing in his home surrounded by his children and grandchildren when he got the call, Jordan said the moment was a testament to God’s faithfulness. On social media, he boldly proclaimed his status: “I am undetected and healed from cancer. I have no plans for a repeat visit. 2x survivor.”
What’s Next for Montell Now a two-time survivor, Minister Jordan is turning his pain into purpose. He and Kristin have documented their entire two-year battle for an upcoming documentary film titled SUSTAIN. The project aims to provide a resource for families navigating similar health crises—something Jordan says he wished he had when he was first diagnosed.
“It’s treatable. We felt like we needed to tell the story,” Jordan said.
As he moves forward, Jordan continues his ministry and advocacy, using his platform to encourage men—especially African American men, who are at higher risk—to get screened early. His testimony stands as a powerful reminder that with faith, family, and perseverance, even the toughest battles can end in victory.
