Heather in Neverland Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I have a friend named Christy who is 29 years old and she is going to die. 1. Two years ago she found a funny looking mole. It was melanoma but they were able to cut it out. Problem solved. 2. Since then she married her high school sweetheart and they were expecting their first baby this October. 3. Last month the doctor finds a lump in her armpit. The cancer is back and it has spread to her lymph nodes. She is six months pregnant and they can't treat it...does she want to end the pregnancy? She says NO WAY. So they start pumping her full of steroids to develop the baby's lungs and they are going to take it early. Risky but it's their only choice. 4. Last week they operated on her and took out the lymph nodes. Even though she is still pregnant, they couldn't wait any longer. The cancer is too aggressive. 5. The next day after the surgery she goes into labor, two months early. They deliver the beautiful baby boy. He is 4lbs, 4oz. and is breathing on his own. Praise God! 6. Three days later they tell her the cancer has spread to her lungs. It is incurable. She is going to die. 7. Prognosis? Most patients die within 6-12 months. With aggressive chemo, 10-15% live up to 5 years. But no one survives. No one beats it. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I still believe that our God can do miracles and I'm praying big on this one. I'm not praying for comfort and peace and acceptance, blah, blah, blah. No way. I want her cured. I want a miracle so big that the doctors have no choice but to say "It's a miracle." I want a miracle so big that her family and friends are in awe of the power of our Lord. I am praying for a miracle so big that she will tell her son about it and he will tell his son about it and it will be like the stones the Israelites dragged out of the Jordan so that future generations would know of God's mighty act.

Catherine Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 something uplifting to note: Section of Medical Oncology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA. Spontaneous regression of cancer is reported in virtually all types of human cancer, although the greatest number of cases are reported in patients with neuroblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and lymhomas/leukemias. It happens. I've seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlcmom Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 My mom has battled cancer a lot. It started with breast cancer. About 5 years ago she was diagnosed with lung cancer, they gave her 6 months and said that there wasn't anything that could be done. Several months later she went to a different doctor. He took out half her lung and she has been just fine ever since. She gets winded easily but that is the only problem. She chose not to have chemo or radiation, since she has an autoimmune disease. I also have another friend that was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided not to do anything traditional about it. She decided to treat herself with herbs and diet. The lump has all but disappeared. The doctor refuses to let her have another mammogram because she wouldn't follow his orders so she isn't sure if it is all gone or not. I think the book she used was Nourishing Traditions. When my son was in a car accident God healed his internal bleeding and some broken bones on the way to ER. With God all is possible. I will definitely be praying. I would also encourage her to get other doctor's opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paula j Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm agreeing with you in prayer. God's hand has not been stilled, miracles happen everyday, I think many people are just too afraid to ask for them and believe. Pray boldly for your friend. Matthew 18:19-20 Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or more are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryM Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You bet I'll pray with you! Now as a catholic, I have prayed to St. Rita for intercession with our Lord and I can tell you from personal experience, she has His ear! Mary NOVENA TO SAINT RITA, PATRONESS OF IMPOSSIBLE CASES O holy patroness of those in need, St. Rita, whose pleadings before thy Divine Lord are almost irresistible, who for thy lavishness in granting favours hast been called the Advocate of the hopeless and even of the impossible; St. Rita, so humble, so pure, so mortified, so patient and of such compassionate love for thy Crucified Jesus that thou couldst obtain from Him whatsoever thou askest, on account of which all confidently have recourse to thee expecting, if not always relief, at least comfort; be propitious to our petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of thy suppliant; be lavish to us, as thou hast been in so many wonderful cases, for the greater glory of God, for the spreading of thine own devotion, and for the consolation of those who trust in thee. We promise, if our petition is granted, to glorify thee by making known thy favour, to bless and sing thy praises forever. Relying then upon thy merits and power before the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we pray thee grant that... (Make your request here...) as soon as God deems fit. Amen.

Guest kacifl Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks for telling us her name, so it will be easier to pray for her. My neighbor was diagnosed with Colon cancer which traveled to his lungs and liver. He survived, even though they told him, he'd has a 5% chance. Another friend had kidney cancer the traveled to his lungs and he survived! Both of these guys were young. Tell her to be sure to eat a lot of fresh vegetables, especially broccoli sprouts, both of these men did exactly that, besides the radiation and chemo.
