Cancer and Other Disease Support

[jdm05]

I had cancer when I was 11 yrs old. By the grace and mercy of God I did not need to go into any kind of treatment. God healed me!!! That was 26 years ago exactly this month and the cancer has not come back. Thank you Jesus!!!

However, when I was told I had cancer I felt peace. It did not even cross my mind that I could die from cancer.Others around me fell apart. My mom nearly had a nervous breakdown. I am very close to my grandfather. I am his shawdow. One day I found him in his office with tears in his eyes. I told him not to cry because God told me he was going to heal me. He asked me if I was afraid and if I believed I would be healed. I told him that I made a committment with God that I promised to keep no matter what came my way. God then promised me my healing. I told my grandfather that the faith he had instilled in me and even seeing the faith he has in God was the same faith I had. I wiped his tears away and told him I will be fine.
A couple days later I went to my pre-op for my surgery the next day. X-rays became my normal routine for weeks. There I found myself once again getting x-rays. This time something was different, I felt different. When the surgeon came in he had several other dr's join him. He told me he could not understand how everything looked normal. The cancer I had had spread all over, it also ate away my shoulder blade. I did not have one yet the new x-ray showed a shoulder blade. As we all know dr's are skeptical about miracles, I had more x-rays taken. There was no mistake I was not only healed from cancer but God put in what the cancer had eaten up.

I told those doctor's that God had healed me just as HE promised me and there was no need for them to try to figure out some medical explanation. They were in shock about my healing and more so that here was this 11 yr old witnessing to them. I remember telling them about the goodness of God.
Cancer can be a scary thing. It can be very stressful knowing that it can come back at anytime. It's easy to say pray about it and have faith. Sometimes you need to be uplifted and reassured that God is a healer. HE knows all and knows why HE allows things to happen even if it scary or hurtful. ILG, I'm glad you started this thread. Not only does cancer affect the person who has it, it also affects those around them. It can be an emoitonal rollercoaster. Sometimes you just need someone to vent out. That is a good thing, venting out. We now have each other to vent out anytime.

Cindy, I found out I was diabetic 5 years ago. I was very active and exercised everyday and could not undestand why I was diabetic. Diabetes runs in both sides of my family so it was inevitable that my siblings and I would eventually get diabetes. I was constantly drilled on what I could NOT eat. It almost became scary for me after hearing it so much. I decided to research for myself and I also decided to go to a nutritionist. It was the best thing because one thing she told me is that I can eat and not feel deprived. She said its all in the mind. When someone tells you, you can have this or that, it makes you want it more. It's all in moderation. And that goes for non-diabetics. Moderation is key. Now when I see others around me enjoying a slice of pie or cake, I get a spoonful of it and I am satisfied. Just the taste is fine with me. now if I told myself I can not have that then I know I would want to eat the entire cake or pie!!! LOL!!! I have some recipes that I can share with you. Believe me, your husband will enjoy them and fill satisfied. He can also have his snacks too.

I will keep you all in prayer!!!
