Story Of A Cancer Survivor (pictures) by vivienobidike(f): 7:04pm On Sep 12, 2013 |
Today, i would be releasing one of my pictures for the world to see. When i said i passed through severe and excruciating pains, many would never know the depth of it. This picture is during the earlier stages of the cancer when it was gradually eating up my breast. My breast took a shape and form i never knew, i went through hell, pain killers couldn't reduce the pains i was experiencing at this stage. Here is my breast in five month or more after i discovered the lump in my breast was the dreaded cancer source www.suspenseandemotions..com

I have tried hard not to feature this story on my blog but i had to because it might help someone going through this same challenge. This is a true story of strong woman who battled, fought and at the end came out triumphant. Hope you will connect to this story and be strong in whatever challenges you are going through. With optimism and faith, you will surely come out victorious Her Story In the brink of death, in agonies of pains and tears, sleepless nights and days, days of living with decayed and rotten flesh oozing of terrible smell and water, avoided and distanced, rejected and cast away. I had an aura of death all around me. I gave up on myself, something inside of me kept telling me i was going to die. I cried all day, all night, my sister in London cried with me during phone conversations with her. They were tears of death, tears of surrender of hopelessness. My faith in God was broken, it was stretched so far i couldn't endure. I passed through fire and brimstone and it burnt me badly. He kept telling me "i would heal you in pains" He told me several times but i couldn't endure the kind of pains i was experiencing - pains so excruciating i wanted something fast but he would have none of it. He wanted me to learn, to depend absolutely on him and not on any man. He reminded me of his promises "even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil" But i was scared, those words did nothing to comfort me. I was so terrified it got to the point where i just gave up and put my mind in perpetual blankness and told myself -Let the worse happen. That was what i did, i am human anyway and i was already broken but the He never gave up on me. Where i was weak, he made me strong but i was so blinded i couldn't see it. Here am i today Mrs Charity a survivor of the deadly disease called CANCER. I want to share my journey so far, how it started, what transpired, my trials and tribulations, my hopelessness, my multiple failed visas' to travel outside for surgery. I am sharing this story as a survivor, as a fighter who walked down the path of death but came out victorious. I am sharing this story of victory against the wiles of the enemy for the lord gave me the garment of rejoicing and i am alive today. My story continues................ source: www.suspenseandemotions..com |

HOW IT ALL STARTED I have lived a normal life, healthy and strong, full of life and enthusiasm. Apart from my slight limp on my left leg caused by untreated polio when i was little, i have lived without any life threatening disease. So you would understand my shock and dismay when i noticed a little lump on my left breast during the last quarter of the year 2011. Since it was a small lump, i really didn't take it so serious, i listened to advise from friends and went to a native doctor somewhere in Onitsha to get traditional treatment. Stupid me started with the treatment, but my situation got worse. I decided to travel to Lagos to do proper scan and process my visa to travel outside the country for Surgery to meet my elder sister who has planned out my surgery procedures. I took a short leave from work (a teacher in one of the primary schools in Imo State) and traveled to my kins mans place in Lagos. I went to LUTH and was directed to a diagnostic place at Ojuelegba where a scan was conducted on me. With my result, i headed for a Private Hospital at palm Avenue where a small portion of my breast was cut off for further examination. I went back to the hospital on my next appointment day and was reassured that everything would be alright, my cancer was still at the formative stage and that a quick surgery will prevent it from spreading round. I contacted my sister in London and she began making plans for me to come over for the surgery. She didn't want me to do the surgery in Nigeria as she didn't have strong confidence for the health system here. She sent me a tourist invitation letter and the rest was history. It just didn't work out. I traveled back to Imo state to make proper arrangement, i got a call from the embassy but the poor network connection disrupted the conversation. Traveled back to Lagos, back to the embassy, got a text message requesting i come for an interview..... so many things happened at once and i was just denied visa to travel. This new development broke me down as i had to make arrangement for the surgery to take place in Nigeria. The pressure was so much for me to undergo surgery, but deep down in my heart, i didn't reconcile my heart to doing that. I just didn't want to do any surgery here in Nigeria since i had been denied Visa. Infact, i was so scared of having my breast cut out, the thought scared me so much that i had a quarrel with my relative for my refusal to do the surgery. What i didn't know is that God wanted to show himself mighty and strong on my behalf, what i didn't know was that God wanted to make me a testimony, a testimony that will shock everyone. Since i was denied visa, and i had resorted not to undergo surgery i decided to commit my sickness unto God, by this time, my breast has started its first stage of rottenness. My sister in London took my case to God in prayers and in one of the services, her pastor told her that he saw me being wheeled into the surgery room but i didn't come out alive. This revelation also doubled my fears about the surgery and i made a resolve not to undergo surgery anymore. My sister in London advised me to locate a strong man of God who would join faith me in prayers but the typical me refused. I was content in counting my rosary day and night, i wasn't used or haven't done any kind of intense prayer all my life. So the idea of engaging in a spiritual warfare seemed alien to me. I left my relative house to agege to stay with a friend for some while, but before that time, my relative's wife Mrs Ifeoma took me to a prayer house somewhere at Ijesha. In the middle of the prayers, i was called out and told that i had serious pain on my breast and i responded in the affirmative. They also told me i was the second wife to my husband and that the first wife died of an ailment (stroke), i responded in the affirmative. The minister looked at me and told me what i didn't know wouldn't kill me. I was told to home and give God qualitative PRAISE for one week. But, typical me, i didn't do any praise and i didn't take anything serious. Okay, i went to agege to stay with my friend for some while. During my stay there, she took me to a prayer ministry and i received a shocker. I was told that my deliverance lies in praising God. I was told the same i was told the first place i went - PRAISE GOD. But i didn't know why i found it so difficult praising him, i wasn't asked to do a long fast or any extreme exercise. PRAISE HIM, they said. I packed my things and headed back to my relative's house. There must be something about PRAISE that i don't understand to be continued............ www.suspenseandemotions..com |
