How is your health Ramona?
Good. Why do you ask?
Don’t you have cancer again?
I do. Recently I felt very convicted that I haven’t updated our missions family on my situation.
You might remember that God completely healed me of carcinoid cancer, which is very rare, in 2012. My healing was complete and confirmed. For those that don’t know, the cancer came back in 2017 and was found when I had surgery for an obstruction caused by scar tissue from my 2011 surgeries.
When they told me they found the cancer, I was truly in shock. I felt anger, disbelief and disappointment. There were people that got saved after reading my testimony about my earlier healing. My biggest fear was getting cancer again and people not believing in what God had done for me. But I walked through it and am still walking through it.
The cancer is slow growing and I am now back with monthly shots, lab work, poking, and prodding. I can’t take chemo or have radiation because it doesn’t work on this type of cancer. I go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, every few months. When I found out I had cancer again, the Lord told me, “I healed you before; I can do it again.”
For some reason I don’t feel the urgency I did before. I don’t identify as someone with cancer. Am I sticking my head in the sand? No! But I am just tired from the whole process. Then the conviction came during a chapel here at the National Office when Doug Clay was speaking. I now realize I must do my part and press in for healing again and share my story again and ask others to pray and stand on His promises with me and for me.
Thank you in advance for your prayers. I will keep you updated!
