Three years ago we tore the wallpaper off the walls in our kitchen, had the walls prepared for painting, and then painted. We had to move a lot of stuff around and my wife developed a strong pain in her groin. She thought she may have pulled something while lifting, carrying, and moving stuff. When the pain persisted she went to her doctor. He thought it was something pulled and had x rays or something run and with pain medication the pain went away. After a few weeks the pain returned with a vengeance. Prayer did not take the pain away so she went to the hospital. There it was discovered that she had ovarian cancer and the cancer had burst. She had a complete hysterectomy plus her gall bladder was removed because it was infected and full of stones. The cancer was the size of a grapefruit or softball and was completely contained within the ovary. If God had answered our prayer to take the pain away as we prayed, that cancer would not have been discovered and removed. A little over 3 years later her blood tests indicate that she is cancer free.
