Survivor

God Heals!

I am a breast cancer survivor for the past 3 years. In March 2021, I found a big lump under my armpit. Went to have my Mammogram and found something on my right breast (side of my nipple). I had the biopsy that day also. Waited for 1 week for the result. Gave me anxiety just for waiting. I was numb when I heard that I had breast cancer, Stage 2 (early detection). Either of my family sides don’t have history of breast cancer. There’s no explanation why I got it. The only thing my oncologist suspected due to my perimenopause when I was 48. It could trigger the cancer in my body.

My Faith saved me! Jesus spoke to me and told me, “You are healed!” I told my Oncologist that He healed me and I will prove it to them. My Oncologist smiled. 

A Smile can also give you positive energy. Every morning, I smiled at the mirror and told myself, “I am strong! I can beat this! I am healed!”

Everything was so fast. I met with the team of doctors at Kaiser. They were amazing! I had my chemo for an hour/weekly for 4 months, 16 sessions. Lost my hair halfway through the chemo. I was also doing my strength training even though I was tired. I pushed myself. It helped with my immunity and positive energy. Then surgery (lumpectomy) and followed by daily radiation, 19 sessions. Every time I showed up to my appointments, I dolled up, so it gave me positive vibes and did not want to look more sick. I never thought I was going to die. I told myself that it’s not time yet. I want to see my children to be successful in life with families and kids. It was my daily doze of medicine.

With my Faith in God, strong mind set, courage, strength, support from my family, watching comedies, meditation, praying and Korean Dramas helped me with my quick recovery. I did not read any books about cancer. For me the less I know the better, so I could focus on my own healing. It would give me anxiety and I would worry more. I did not google it either. Every patient is different. I asked/sent email to my doctors, if I have questions. I left everything to God. Before Christmas, the best Christmas gift every – my doctor said, you are CANCER FREE!! I was stronger than I thought. There’s always HOPE! I am always grateful to God for His unconditional love, support, healing and miracles and to my husband and kids.
