I was diagnosed with Stage III uterine cancer in April of 2003. An emergency hysterectomy operation was performed, but the malignant tumor was still present. My doctor advised chemotherapy treatments so I agreed to the first two in June of 2003.

I lost my hair and almost 25 pounds and felt awful. I was scared to go on with six more treatments and didn’t know how I could keep on working as a real estate broker. Then things began to happen.
A $449,000 real estate listing came my way. The second day it was offered, I got a call from another broker whose customer gave full price. I arranged to meet the broker to complete the contract papers, and then came a surprise. After our meeting I asked him if he could stay for a while and chat with my husband and me. I had never met this man before, and I rarely discuss personal matters with strangers, but felt close to him and told him my story.

He listened patiently and then revealed that he had considerable experience in ministering at the VA hospital and Hospice, and that he understood my concern. When I asked him what to do, he said, “I can’t really help you, but I have a booklet that tells you how to help yourself.” The booklet was provided by Pleasant Valley, entitled “New Insights into Cancer.” I read it that same evening, twice.

I began to realize the importance of forgiving others and that I had to get rid of the bitterness I had towards my ex-son-in-law. It was like a light bulb went off in my head. I had to forgive him, and I did. It happened in the driveway of my home just before he left my 11-year-old grandson to visit me. They were both in shock when I told him I was sorry and that I loved him. We both cried as we hugged each other. Wow!

This was on a Thursday, the day after I read the cancer booklet. The next day I went to my appointment for chemotherapy treatment, and to the surprise of both my oncologist and my radiologist, the cancer had completely disappeared! A miracle!

I know now that bitterness and unforgiveness were the cause of my cancer, but most important to me is that God heard my heart asking Him to forgive me for judging someone else. I call it a matter of DIVINE INTERVENTION of a God who loves me. I praise Him and worship Him. He has changed my life forever.
