I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 1989, I deliberately waited longer than recommended to have my surgery as I felt like God was going to heal me without surgery. Many, many were praying for me daily. I eventually scheduled the surgery for 5 weeks after I was diagnosed and then canceled the surgery two days before it was scheduled because my tumor had decreased from being easily seen with the naked eye, approx. 5" to 3" around and then to very hard to even feel by a doctor maybe the size of a small olive. I waited another month and prayed and it completely disappeared.

My doctors and surgeon were unable to explain the disappearance of the tumor and with no cancer cells left anywhere. My tumor was so large that it made it difficult to swallow and it was putting pressure on nerves in my ears and causing me pain.

I was not under any treatment, I was diagnosed, went for a second opinion, scanned, tested to determine if it was a "cold" (cancerous) tumor and all the other tests but no treatment. The recommended treatment was removal of the thyroid and then radiation.

I thank God I didn't have to have the surgery but I know a lot of other Christians that have had the surgery and had many praying and who came out well and have lived long productive lives.

Let's pray that CJ Rehnquist's surgery goes well. I wonder why he had a tracheotomy, I've never heard of that?

I meant to say I know many Christians who had the surgery as well as non Christians who came out doing well.

WOW. You've got an inside track. If anyone's prayers might help, your's might. IMHO, mine probably won't, but I'll try anyway.
