Hi Pastor Greg, 
Here is my testimony, of course use whatever portion you need since it is long ,you can use my name if you want. My brain tumor was discovered in December of 2006 when my husband and I decided to try for another baby. A month went by and no pregnancy which wasn’t normal for us so I thought it strange. I had also been having for months serious light sensitivity (having to wearing sunglasses even indoors) vision problems and sinus pain, but I thought I was getting ready to have a migraine. I went to the doctor and told her about not getting pregnant and we both decided it maybe was because I was older now so it would take more time ,so I left it at that, but only for another few weeks I just didn’t feel right. By now it was February 2007 when I went back to see her and this time she ran some blood test, that was when we discovered the I had a brain tumor. I told my husband that night he came home from work and we just began to pray. We were of course told to stop trying for a baby and the doctor said she wasn’t even sure we would ever be able to have another child or a normal pregnancy if we did conceive beacuse of the tumor. In a few days I was sent over to a Endocrinologist and was set up to get an MRI to determine the size to see what the best treatment would be. She said my options were brain surgery with or without chemo, or chemo along with medication if it was small enough to shrink with that. She told me quite honestly that the level in my blood and the symptoms I had indicated a larger sized tumor. That night I had a talk with the Lord and asked him to give me the strength to get through this. My family back home was also praying for Gods will and that he would heal me. The results of the MRI took two weeks so we prayed and waited. In church one Sunday before I got the results when we had prayer time for healing I felt an almost electric sensation that  split right down the middle of my head, then I heard the voice of the Holy Ghost say “you are healed”. I was amazed and I whispered to my husband what had just happened. Well when I went that week to get the results the doctor had a look of confusion and told me the tumor was gone. All that remained was an empty space the size of how big the tumor had been. She asked me to get another opinion that she was worried she missed something, she was not comfortable with treating me beacuse it didn’t make sense to her. In her list of options for me to get rid of the tumor she didn’t know about God’s options about his mercy and grace but she does now and so do I. I don’t consider the space in my brain to be empty it is full of God’s hope and love for all of us as his children. This story is not only mine but ours as God’s people, to give hope, restore hope and to renew our faith in our Father who loves us beyond our understanding. Through all this one of the many things I have learned is that we are not bound by the things of this world and we are strong because of Christ Jesus to stand and not be moved and not to just sit back and take what the enemy tries to do to us. Our prayer is effective!!!! In March 2007 I was put on medication that I was told I would have to take for the rest of my life, but God once again had other plans and in April the doctor stopped the meds. she said I simply no longer needed them. Then in May 2007 we conceived, but within a few days of finding out we lost that baby. We were heartbroken, but still we would trust in the Lord. Two months later we concieved again and in a couple of weeks from now our baby girl will be due. All glory to God, I will praise him in the good and in the bad.
