My story

Wife and mother of two sons; her witness about how Jesus healed her from cancer.

... I would like to share wonderful things that our loving Heavenly Father did for me and for my family. In October I will turn 46 and I have a loving husband and 2 sons.

At the end of May 2014 the doctors discovered a malign tumour in my bowels with metastases in the liver, peritoneum, lymph nodes, and in the minor pelvis. Everything happened so fast and unexpectedly. Nobody suspected that I may have such a serious disease. I went to see the doctor just because I felt very weak and I had continuous pain in my stomach and bowels in the previous two months. I didn’t really expect such diagnosis. In my father’s family line 7 people died of cancer, but I never thought about it.

My USG examination was planned in a month. Thanks to a friend of mine from our fellowship I managed to get an earlier deadline (from Friday to Monday).

All other tests and examinations were performed in record time. God was with us… Since the very first moment, my husband and I trusted in the fact that this disease is not for death but for God’s glory. We were sure God’s deeds were going to be shown. We really trusted in this, through prayers, encouragements, and words from the Lord and from many people that God sent to help me, in different ways. When we apprehended my diagnosis, we both kept supernatural and deep calm. This godly calm accompanied me for the whole course of the disease. It is paradoxical and logically inexplicable. Through weakness and pain I felt an unprecedented joy in the Lord and gratefulness for the way He takes care about me. He is besides me, even through prayers and intercession of several people who helped me fight against cancer. They were often people I didn’t even know personally. Since the beginning (and this is a real miracle and God’s grace for a diffident person like me) I believed that God was keeping this entire situation under control with His protective hand.

I trusted in God’s power, love, and miracles. I knew my sons were not to remain half-orphans. I was sure that God would reveal His glory. I don’t really know where I found such a great faith and confidence. My health conditions were really serious. Despite my stage 4 cancer and extended metastases I felt such a great peace and joy in the Lord. I was conscious of the fact that I could die overnight. A supernatural grace was acting over me.

My first surgical operation took place in June. It was successful only after the third attempt ; the anaesthetist almost sent me back from the operating table. They extracted a tumour from my colon and cut the contaminated part of the peritoneum. I started weekly chemotherapy and biological therapy. Even during this period, I experienced the wonderful grace of God. The therapy was threatening my immunity system, red cells, and other blood elements. In spite of that I felt quite good. I even resisted to minor disease in our family (when my husband and my younger son had to take antibiotics).

I had some problems with digestion, constipation, and reaction to biological therapy. It caused toxicity and skin rashes. It was quite unpleasant, it hurt, it prickled, and it looked very bad. Nevertheless, everything could be overcome with the help of “God’s people”. My strength, peace, and joy are in the Lord. I want to praise and magnify the Lord regardless of circumstances...

In order to carry out second operation, it was necessary to reduce the size of the metastasis in the left lobe of the liver. Its size was 15x9x15.8 cm; these metastases can be usually operated as long as they are not bigger than 5 cm. The CT scan showed that it had reduced to 8.25x4.8x8.2 cm; my oncologist proposed to search a doctor who would take this risk and extract the metastasis out of my body, as soon as possible. I didn’t know any surgeon at all. Not long later, I met an old friend after several years. She said the future father-in-law of her sister is a surgeon and she promised to ask him about it. He agreed. He said the metastasis cannot be located both in the left and in the right part of the liver; if it is located in both parts of the liver, then the operation is practically impossible and there is risk of death for the patient. According to the CT scan, it was not possible to precisely determine this factor. It can be seen only on operating table. When the doctor said he was not sure about the result and feasibility of the surgical operation, I was quite disappointed. I was not happy at all with the risk of being opened and then re-closed without any intervention. Moreover, operation would mean stopping chemotherapy and biological therapy, which is quite complicated to reserve. It takes long time, entire months. So I hoped that they will make further examinations (e.g. MRI) in order to reveal further details about my real conditions.

Since the very first second when I apprehended that I have cancer, the Lord gave me a great grace and interior peace; I had “joy” in the Lord… Now, this situation was going to disturb my interior stability. I didn’t want that to happen. So I reproached myself and I prayed. On the following day, that precious divine peace came back. Praise God! Eventually, there was no MRI, but I didn’t care… Everything was in God’s hands and I didn’t need to manage it with my human forces.

The operation took place in the month of October. Unfortunately the metastasis was larger than expected (not 5 or 8 cm, but 15 cm!) and it touched even the left part of the liver. There were two possibilities: (i) interrupt the operation in order not to risk that the patient will die during the intervention; (ii) extract the metastasis with great risk. I thank Jesus so much because he gave the doctor wisdom and he guided his hands during the intervention. Operation was successful. The proof of it is that I am here, alive .

As it was shown on the operation table, surgical intervention was needed on both parts of the liver. Both parts of the liver were contaminated. After the operation I just had 40% of liver remaining. They had to remove the gall bladder as well, because without liver it didn’t have any support. I thank God because the liver is a self-regenerating organ! Later on, a friend of mine revealed me that – according to doctors – my life expectancy would be 3 to 4 months if they didn’t remove that large metastasis... According to European Statistics and prevention data in the Slovak Republic, only 5% of stage four colon carcinoma patients survive for 5 years (without healing). I do not belong to these statistics. The Lord is above all statistics. He has the count of my life days in His hands. I don’t have to “survive”, but I can live full life!

In the summer I received a letter from a girl I met only once in my life before operation. She wrote she dreamt of me and of my total healing. She also said I never felt so fine in my life since the age of 11. On 31 December 2015 she phoned me and she told me that she sensed I was healed. She felt the need to tell me about her feeling. I also sensed I was healed. She just confirmed me that feeling. Then, we started to have personal meetings and she told me that she kept praying for me uninterruptedly (although she hardly knew me).

The third operation was cancelled. They had to extract some focal formations and cysts from my uterus (pelvis minor); eventually, there was no longer need to do that; they just removed a polyp in day-hospital.

MRI in December 2014 and in January 2015 confirmed I had no focal formations or tumour tissue. My oncologist could not understand it. She advised preventive chemotherapy until 17 April 2015. The PET/CT scan confirmed that my body was completely “clean” (Institute of Nuclear and Molecular Medicine) both in May and in September.

So, after one year since early diagnosis, I had confirmation that I was healthy. I regained my original weight (I had lost almost 13 kg). I work and eat without limitations. My bowels are 31 cm shorter, I have just a piece of liver and no gall bladder; but I don’t feel any distress. I am completely healthy. It’s a miracle! I believe that Jesus healed me after just 7 months; the doctors cannot believe this is true and they still have difficulties to accept it.

I am really thankful for the fact that Christ is my Doctor and Healer. He takes care of me and my family. Everyday I feel his love and care in different ways. He is wonderful. I am glad I belong to him.

I also thank all those who engaged in my healing process.

It was a hard physical and spiritual fight. It was time to face the enemy of God, swipe away any rights the devil claims towards my life, eliminate all obstacles, and free my person and my family from his influence, by paving the way to Christ’s victory.

Jesus unified many people and servants, Christians from different denominations, communities, and religious orders. They were my allies in the fight against cancer.

Probably, the enemy of God knew my weak points. He thought I am easy game to catch, because I had lived for long time as a lone sheep. He made a mistake and he lost. He forgot that, in the meanwhile, Jesus strengthened me through prayer and included me in the community of Christians. The devil wanted to defeat me, but he found the whole Army of the Lord. Prayer with faith, love, and the power of God are too strong weapons.

The strength of sincere prayer is really miraculous. The Bible says: “And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.“ (Jacob 5, 15-16).
