First and foremost, I want to give all the glory to God for His love, mercy, and healing power.
It all began in March of last year when my doctor informed me that I had an aggressive tumour. I was referred to Peter MacCallum Hospital for treatment, where the oncologist started me on chemotherapy, which proved to be extremely invasive. I endured this treatment for an entire year.
During that time, I experienced significant weight loss, shedding 30 kilograms. My hair fell out, some of my toenails came off, and I was in constant pain. To manage it, the doctor prescribed morphine patches and various painkillers. Due to the pain and fluid retention, I was unable to lie flat in bed and had to sleep propped up with pillows. I could only eat pureed food, grew increasingly weak, and needed assistance with even the simplest tasks.
Then, one day, I felt a prompting in my spirit to visit Dandenong Church. At first, I hesitated, thinking the trip would be too much for me. However, a week later, I felt that same urge again. I decided to go.
On my first Sunday at the church, I went up for prayer, leaning near a window at the front. Pastor Joe saw me, not knowing anything about my condition, and immediately came over to pray for me. From that moment on, everything began to change. Since that Sunday, I no longer need painkillers, my appetite returned, my hair started growing back, my nails improved, I gained weight, and I felt stronger and healthier.
I thank God for His miraculous healing, and I give all the glory to Him. AMEN.
