Encountering God in My Cancer Journey

I was diagnosed with stage 4
lung cancer in June 2019. Throughout my journey, I was thankful for family
support especially the unconditional love from my children, helping me face
this battle and enduring the many rounds of chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments.
In September I was invited to attend a Life Group meeting at CityLife and the
invited speaker was a lady who was healed from cancer. After hearing her
testimony, I felt inspired and encouraged. I went to the front for prayer and
she led me to my salvation and prayed for my healing that day. That started my
spiritual journey with God. I started reading the bible and a daily devotion
book on healing. Early 2020, I vividly recall one night, whilst asleep, I felt
the presence of the Lord looking over at my right side. As I tried to get up, I
saw a light shining through my bedroom door, someone going out and looking back
at me. After this experience, I trust God knows what is coming... My CT scan
unfortunately showed no improvement on the mass across the chest walls. The 7.1
cm tumour started growing. I was in pain, coughing, had shortness of breath and
was losing weight. The oncologist decided to change the treatment to targeted
oral tablet. I believe it was God’s plan for taking me off chemotherapy and
immunotherapy treatment; I was thankful that I didn't have to go through long
hours of hospital visits for the intensive chemo and immunotherapy treatment in
the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. Praise God, this new oral chemo treatment has
worked and the results within the 6 weeks showed the tumour shrinking from 7.39
cm to 4 cm. I was invited to join a ladies Life Group via Zoom meeting during
that time and I encountered God’s grace, blessings, peace and fellowship in the
group. I strongly believe that regular group prayer is powerful. We find time
for sharing and encouraging one another to grow in our Christian faith. I am
grateful to God every day for releasing the healing that is in me. All past
pains and symptoms are now gone forever! God has been most merciful to make me
bounce back on the road to recovery! I continue to put my faith and trust in
God, and fully believe that His healing power and His Word is far greater than
cancer! Keep resting in the promises of God, put your trust in Him for ongoing
help, protection from all harm and stand firm on His Word. Romans 8:25 says o
hope and wait. Never give up on prayer!
