In July 2020 I went to the dermatologist to have a spot on my chest looked at.

I had it for a few years but never did anything about it out of fear. I didn’t trust God enough to not be afraid.

Once at the doctor, she did a preliminary exam and said that I needed to have a full-body scan and biopsy done on the area. I asked what she was looking for and she said skin cancer. I didn’t hear much after that, I kind of went numb. Tears ran down my face and my anxiety was overwhelming.

In August, I went back to have the body scan and was told I would need 2 procedures done to remove not just 1 skin cancer spot but 3. We had them schedule for September 8th and the 17th. They did a biopsy on both areas on my chest. The results came back positive.

I was going to have to do a Chemotherapy Cream treatment for 10 days because I had severe skin cancer cells all over my chest.

The process was incredibly painful, and it made me feel and look very ugly. I was so scared that between my scars and the poison coming out of my body that no one would ever want to look at me again. I was learning to trust God more and more each day. I knew He was my only hope of being healed.

I went back for my 2-week checkup and removal of my stitches and they told me that I had more spots on my arm and lips that needed to be removed. I also had several spots frozen off.

I had hoped that would have been the end. I was wrong.

In late October, I had to do another round of the Chemotherapy Cream treatments on my chest. I wasn’t prepared for that news. I wanted to just be healed. God was showing me I needed to trust in Him and His plan.

The doctor’s I had were amazing and it helped a great deal. Having a wonderful supportive family and friends kept me seeking God for healing.

In late November I went back for a check-up and I was told I was cancer free. It was so wonderful to hear.

I prayed and thanked God for His complete healing power over the “c” word. Having a support system and faith in God makes all the difference.
