The Full Cancer Story 2007 Part 1
So, here are all the details of the healing story, the second time around. If you are just joining the Miracle Journey, you can read about the first time God healed me from cancer in 2005 on the right hand column. Just click the link and there are all the entries.
Thanksgiving weekend, 2006. I had been trying to get into City of Hope for a follow-up CT Scan for a few months. Jen and I had trial after trial- messed up appointments, prescriptions not sent to us, getting stuck in the "phone tree" trying to get ahold of someone who could get in touch with our doctor, etc. Long story short, we were not able to get an appointment.
It was Saturday and I went to pick up the sweet Audi convertable that I am leasing for my new Real Estate and Mortgage company. I started feeling massive pressure in my lower stomach and kidneys. It would not go away. I had been exercising and running during this time, so, part of me thought that it was a muscle strain, but it would not go away. After 8-10 hours of pain, my amazing wife literally forced me to go to the emergency room. This was around midnight.
I have always hated hospitals. This is something that God has literally taken me through- step by step. Amazing. We went to Little Company of Mary Hospital, just down the street from us. Long story short, Jen and I were there for over 8 hours. They gave me morphene for pain, made me sit around for 6 hours and then gave me a CT scan at about 6am after Jen went out to ask them what was going on. Then, the doctor came in and told me that tests were inconclusive (later found to be totally inaccurate) and sent me home.
As days went by, my stomach pain went away, but I would have pain in my lower back/kidney on the right side of my body. We made an appointment with the same hospital to see a doctor, hoping to get care from a place that is close to home. The doctor looked at my CT Scan and also did blood markers (blood tests) to see if anything was out of whack. He then became the second doctor to misdiagnose me. He calmly said that I had a lymph node infection that would go away in a few days. He said not to worry. A few days went by and the pain would come and go. So, I kept exercising and asking God for direction.
Four days later, the doctor called me. He calmly told me that he had blood results and that almost all of them were normal. What worried him was that my HCG level was an 870. This is the level that shows women if they are pregnant or not and also shows cancer patients if the disease is still affecting their bodies. So, I immediately called City of Hope and demanded to speak with my doctor. I told the people on the phone that it was an emergency and that my cancer had returned and that seemed to eventually get me through to the doctor. When my doctor heard that the HCG was 870, he promptly told me on the phone that the cancer was back and penciled me in for around 10 days from that point.
