The doctor looked at my mammogram, paused for a moment, and then said, “I am sorry to tell you, but it is a malignant tumor.”
At that instant, I couldn’t hear the rest of his words. It felt like a death sentence, but deep inside, I knew my time was not yet over. God was present in this moment, and I refused to let fear take hold of me.
It was crucial to tell my family and explain the diagnosis — not only so they would understand, but so that we could pray together for wisdom and strength in deciding our next steps. The malignant tumor needed to come out — whether through a miracle from God or the hands of a surgeon. I also realized that this would require radical changes in my eating habits and lifestyle.
Repenting from my old ways, I sought guidance from the Lord on how to make those changes. Asking forgiveness from those who had suffered most — especially my family — became part of my healing process. This was not just a physical challenge; it was a spiritual and emotional battle as well. I began researching the causes of cancer and what I could do to help my body heal naturally.
An old friend who was well-versed in alternative healing through nutrition gave me advice that changed everything. Although I wasn’t sure her methods would help, desperation turned into determination. I took careful notes, went home, and cleared my kitchen of everything unhealthy. I became a strict vegetarian, determined to cleanse my body of toxinsand strengthen my immune system. At the same time, I prayed daily for the tumor to shrink.
When the tumor didn’t change in size, I decided to proceed with surgery. My surgeon then recommended chemotherapy and radiation, but after consulting with four specialists in Israel, I knew that wasn’t the right path for me. I needed another solution.
That’s when someone told me about Oasis of Hope Hospital. I researched their programs, read patient testimonials, and prayed for three things:
- The financial means to go.
- Someone to care for my family while I was away.
- A friend to accompany me to Mexico.
God answered all three prayers — a clear confirmation that I was meant to go.
At Oasis of Hope, I was welcomed by a warm and compassionate staff who made me feel right at home. The doctors were patient, attentive, and always available to answer questions. The food and juices were fresh, organic, and nourishing. They taught me a new way of living — one focused on health, balance, and faith. The non-invasive treatments strengthened my immune system while the educational classes helped me understand how to maintain my well-being.
Today, I feel better than ever and have been cancer-free for several years. I am deeply grateful to God for His love, and to everyone at Oasis of Hope for the help, support, and hope they gave me.
