An esophageal cancer was healed!

 

After having an operation on colorectal cancer, my mother was to attend the hospital for sometimes regularly for postoperative examinations. But in one of such examinations, another cancer was found in her, and this time, it was esophageal cancer. The doctor proposed two alternative ways of treatment for us to choose. One way was imediate operation and the other was to have radiation treatment for a while and see what will happen. We have prayed and prayed and our final conclusion was radiation treatment. The treatment, however, required the hospitarization for at least one month, and also we have learned that there is a high possibility of side effects as it accompanies chemotherapy (using anticancer agents). My mother was especially afraid of one of the well known side effect, loosing her hair. She was also afraid of her meals being disturbed by vomiting.

 

"According to your faith let it be done to you"


I prayed and asked the Lord for His Words. "Lord, please tell me what I should do." Lord answered in worship message and gave me His Words, "According to your faith let it be done to you." I accepted these Words with thanks and tried my best to keep my walks being faithful. I became very careful about my words not to mention any negative expressions in any cases. "What shall I do if my mother looses her hair?" changed to "It will be OK as everything is in His hands." and I gave thanks to, praised and worshipped the Lord, believing that He will definitely do something wonderful through my mother's cancer.

 

Special meal for my mother before going into hospital


I was thinking a nice plan to please her before she is hospitalised. The treatment she is going to have must be very tough and even after discharge, enjoying delicious meal may be impossible because it was a cancer at esophagus. So, my plan was to invite her to a wonderful dinner before going into hospital. Then, however, the Holy Spirit whispered to me. "You are assuming that your mother will not be able to eat after being discharged from the hospital. Isn't it a deed of unbelief ?" I suddenly noticed the meaning of what I was going to do ! I immediately gave up my plan to have a wonderful dinner with her and instead bought a pair of work clothes for us two, assuming that we will be working together after her leaving hospital.

 

God protected my mother in the hospital.

One month stay in the hospital for radiation treatment was, I reallly saw, completely in the hands of the Lord. The side effect of medicine, loosing hair, which my mother was so afraid did not occur at all. She could enjoy all meals offered and found her weight added at the time of discharge.. As being permitted to stay in her home on every Saturday and Sunday, she could join all Sunday worships as usual, and church people could have time to pray for her. We saw that everything prayed at the church was answered, and her.one month life in the hospital was, I should say, quite enjyoyable for her. She had experienced the strong power of prayer of the church through this incidesnt.

 

" Do not let your hearts be troubled."


One week after the discharge, the result of last examiation was told to the family. The doctor in charge recommended to have an operation, as a small part of the cancer still remained at the diseased part. We were shocked at this advise but soon afterward, I found the following message from everyday devotional. "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God." (John 14: 1) I was encouraged by this message and my faith revived. I trusted in Him, gave thanks to Him, and deligently prayed for healing that no oreration be necessary. One week after that, we again visited the hospital to hear the result of postoperational exam. This time a senior doctor came out and said that no cancer cell was found anywhere and operation is not necessary. We were so amazed and praised the Lord for this wonderful result !

 

" Only God knows what happen in your life hereafter."


The senior doctor finally said, "Mrs. Miura, only God knows what happen in your life hereafter. It is at the mercy of the Lord. It is the sphere any doctor cannot intervene. " Suddenly then, I was convinced that the lord definitely had intervened this matter and I gave thanks to Him agin.

 

The Lord's complete healing.


Two weeks after discharge, my mother could come back to the former job and is cheerfully working as before. One month stay in hospital from esophageal cancer was almost unbelievable. People around her says, "Tsuneko-san, You are quite well ! I can't believe that you had suffered a caner." She had another postoperative exam. the other day and the doctor assured that the disease was completely cured. That diseased portion which was pointed out by doctor before was found disappeared. The Lord's healing was complete. Before this incident, she was rather reluctant to attend the church regularly, but now, she is never absent from any church services, including Sunday and Tuesday worship. Praise the Lord, our mighty God !
