--Ephesians 2:8
I had the surgery after I stopped nursing David. I carried the cancer almost two years after the diagnosis—it stayed in the thyroid and did not spread to other parts of my body.
In 1997, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was ready to go under the knife when the nurse ran in the operating room just before the anesthetic was to be given to tell me that I was pregnant. On the operating table, I was asked what I wanted to do—have the surgery or choose my son David's life. The surgery would have terminated his life because the anesthetic would have caused spontaneous miscarriage.
I trusted the Lord to protect my body from the cancer so that my unborn child could have a life. I said NO to the surgery and yes to God's unchanging hand.
21 years later, I am here to testify I have been cancer free for all this time. Hallelujah!
