Tumor, No More

On December 20th, 2019 I had my first MRI of my brain. I found out on January 3, 2020 that I had a small, benign tumor on my pituitary gland. I was told that I was depressed and should seek therapy and that I most likely would not have the ability to have children all in the same, short routine call from a nurse practitioner who didn’t know she was shattering my world with her practical, no BS phone demeanor.

Everyday since that call; I have battled with why God would make this struggle part of my journey and each day my mental and emotional strength varied from a straight up miserable mess to a firm belief that the Lord would heal me and everything in between.

My doctor wanted me to do the wait and see technique, so I was not issued any medications or other options to help with my symptoms during the 6-7 months after finding the tumor on the initial scan.

I would love to tell you that I always believed that the Lord would heal me, but that simply just isn’t true. I had my moments where I definitely believed that, but word curses were spoke over me and I found myself stuck in negativity more often than not. I made sure to surround myself with prayer warriors and people who would speak truth and light back into those moments and not let me stay there.

To my husband and all of my family and friends that prayed me through those difficult times and moments, I thank you.

On June 26, 2020 I went for a routine, follow up MRI. On July 7, 2020 I received a voicemail from the same nurse practitioner telling me that my brain scan was clear. She said she couldn’t explain it, but that there is no longer a presence of anything on my pituitary gland. THE TUMOR WAS AND IS GONE. My God is a God of miracles. Thank you Jesus - I am healed!
