A few weeks before our most awaited holiday trip, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. When I received the news, I was sad but there was peace. It was not heavy. Like God already carried me right away. They said peace is not the absence of affliction but the presence of God. During my prayers, I asked, “Jesus, open my eyes so I can see. What are you trying to tell me in this situation? How do I look at this the way you see it?” But I also said to God, if going through cancer makes You known, let me go through it with You. It is by His hand that my world is held together. “You drench the plowed ground with rain, melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops.” Psalms 65:10 NLT Like the rain, we thought roadblocks or setbacks in our lives seems challenging BUT these meant to bless us, just like what it is for grass/crops, just like it was for me, for the cancer I had. During my cancer treatment, I was weak while He was strong. I was scared and He was brave for me. Life was uncertain after diagnosis but He assured me (Be still and know that I am God, Psalm 46:10) and He held it all together, he already know what’s going to happen. I had 6 months of chemotherapy, 4 hospital emergencies, 11 bags of blood transfusion, surgery, 25 daily radiation, 17 immunotherapy. Despite these, there is joy. God helped me cruised through it. There were some down moments, emotional breakdown at times but He always sent someone to make me feel His presence. God surrounded me with people who helped me-prayed, intercede, encouraged, checked on me, sent food and many more through my family, friends, Life Group, my kids’ school community and work. Mark 2 showed how Jesus healed a paralysed man because of the persistence faith of his friends. God also made sure I was comfortable during sickness and treatment. Physically felt tired at times but peaceful, I felt rested. I also did not stop working full time from home throughout my treatment. The breast mri showed there is no cancer detected anymore as well as the tissues removed from surgery showed none!!! I finished my last treatment today. The cancer journey was life changing in a good way. I felt God’s love so strong that I am blessed immensely and still think I did not deserve it all but that’s how He loves. We usually ask for healing, provision, answered prayer. But this journey taught me to look at the Healer, the Provider, the Answer. To God be all the glory!
