I was diagnosed with high-grade, muscle-invasive bladder cancer in September, 2022. Although medical specialists recommended chemo-therapy followed by surgical removal of my bladder, I asked God if there was any way I might be spared bladder removal, and God led me to go another way ... chemo-therapy with radiation therapy.
Three months after the chemo-therapy with radiation therapy was completed, tests were scheduled to see if there were any signs of cancer. Before those tests were done, I was given a dream in which I was shown that no disease would be found. This is exactly what happened.
The medical people wanted to run the tests again in 3-4 months.
Before the next tests, however, thoughts began coming to my mind that to have these tests showed "a lack of faith." These thoughts that came to my mind reasoned such things as ... If I really believed it was God who showed me to have chemo-therapy with radiation, I wouldn't need to have these tests ...There was also an open vision given to Joan Boney in which she saw a mass on the wall, then there was a "swoosh" sound, and the mass disappeared, 3 masses falling in on each other. Joan felt this had to do with my cancer .... And there was the dream in which I was shown no disease would be found. If I believed these things were of God, why did I need to have tests done?
But when I turned to God about having the tests, each time HE confirmed to me in some way to have the tests done.
One example was in December, 2023. I had been praying about whether to schedule the next round of tests and was given a dream. In this dream there was blood in my urine. Either in the dream or as I woke from the dream I strongly felt I should have the tests done.
I assumed this dream was showing there was going to be a serious problem found. But when the tests were done, no cancer was found.
Then after tests were done in September, 2024, I came to believe I was being shown something different by that dream. After those tests, the urologist explained that although there is no evidence of cancer or any other serious condition in my bladder, because of the radiation therapy the blood vessels in my bladder are more prone to bleeding so I might see blood in my urine. He told me what to do if this happened.
He also said everything looked so good that the next follow-up test which was to be done at his office could be done yearly.
This was so helpful to me because every once in a while a thought would come telling me that I was going to see blood in my urine (as if this was a serious problem like with the cancer), and there was a sense of panic and I would cry out to God asking that HE not let that happen. After receiving this information from the urologist, that is no longer a concern.
Devils have tried to stop me from having followup tests. But when I turned to God each time, HE led me to have the tests.
The test results continue to witness to what God has done in leading me in how to treat the cancer, being delivered from the cancer, and also fulfilling the open vision Joan was given and the dream I was given.
And these tests gave an opportunity for the urologist to give me information which has eliminated some fears brought by devils.
