Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”-Matthew 21:21-22
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 25 and it came as a complete shock. No known family history of it although cancer does run on both sides of my maternal family. I never would have guessed, however, that it would have come knocking on my door and certainly never so soon.
I can recall the day I woke up from surgery to biopsy a solid mass tumor on my left ovary which they had no clue would be malignant. It seems they called me 10 times to wake me up out of a deep sleep from the anesthesia even going so far as slapping me right out of that fog. Once I finally halfway opened my eyes I stared up at a total of 5 nurses all asking a variety of questions including do I have any known history of cancer in my family? If so, when were they diagnosed? What forms of cancer? It was at that moment on February 23rd that I knew I had cancer and like those nurses I had so many questions, but I couldn’t seem to awaken from this dream that soon became my reality.
