I am now out of the hospital after having thyroid surgery. My surgeon said that it was "nothing short of a miracle" thanks to all of your prayers! He has worked on many thyroids and those that he was the most concerned about sometimes turns out not to be cancer and yet others that were small and soft turned out to be cancer after all. I have talked to many wonderful people in the church who have had their thyroids removed and are successfully taking thyroid medication for the rest of their lives. I have been blessed so much in my life already and I was afraid to ask God for anything more than what was given to these wonderful people. I have heard from so many of you and a very dear friend said to me that she would pray for a "miraculous healing" and this is just what I have received! As you may have already read, a pain in my right side led me to my regular doctor who discovered the thyroid nodule. With prayer, that pain in my right side disappeared and several tests confirmed that there’s nothing there to be of concern about. God removed that worry as if it never happened. Then I received some bad news about my thyroid that it is a large, cold, hard nodule that is suspicious for the worst types of cancer…and even worse yet, that my surgeon’s office doesn’t accept my form of insurance. After a day of panic and prayer, I turned to my insurance company to ask for whom I could go to and they confirmed that my choice of surgeon WAS on their list after all! God had removed that worry as if it never happened at all. Now all that I needed was to have a biopsy to see if we could procede with a surgery and this showed NO CANCER! The surgery took place yesterday and the infected nodule was further examined and still we find NO CANCER. It was sent to a lab for further testing but we are very confident. I have been left with half of a healthy thyroid and this is all that I need to continue living my life without any further treatment or medication. Again, as if it never happened! The Almighty Lord has removed all of my worries as if they never happened at all! Alleluia! I owe a debt of gratitude to all of you who faithfully prayed for my needs. You prayed for more than what I could have expected to receive and it must have been within God’s will because I have received it. I urge everyone to share with others how they can be prayed for specifically because He really does hear us. Above and beyond all of these blessings, I have been blessed with some amazing faithful friends who managed to keep me grinning through all of this. Thank you, Jesus! Thank all of you!
