A Miracle - God Healed My Leukemia by Andrea West
During this time I became very strong in the Lord and believed that somehow God would work all this out. In a few months I was in remission, but that didn't last long. Just when I thought everything was fine, I returned for testing in March 2007 where the oncologist ran the usual tests. The results showed the cancer was worse and he thought that the overdose had caused some immunity of the disease to the treatments. I was very upset and didn't want to continue with the treatments. He said if I didn't take the treatments that I'd only have 8 to 9 months to live. I just fell apart. My emotions went every which way. To be honest, I was very angry with God and at this point didn't have the faith that I needed. I went to church, but didn't go to every service. For two weeks the devil had me bound by thinking that I would never live to see my children grow up and I stopped going to church altogether. I needed strength and encouragement, so on Saturday, March 17th, I called Brenda (who I call my momma). She is a wonderful woman that was instrumental in teaching me about Jesus and the truth. I would not be in the church today if it wasn't for her. She was at a ladies retreat in Missouri at my former church where I had been baptized. She knew what I needed and let me hear part of the service on her cell phone. The first song they sang was called "I Call You Healer". The words of that song just hit me along with the speaking of faith in that service. That gave me faith again and I decided to go to church at Christ Memorial Temple. I always come back to that church for there is something there that makes me feel like I am home. I went that next day on Sunday morning and then returned for the Sunday evening service. It was that night I got my healing in that service -- oh what an awesome service that was! I can't explain it, but I knew I received my healing because I felt different, I felt good! What a wonderful change, praise God! The doctor called and said that he needed to draw blood, so I went in on Tuesday for tests. That Thursday he called back and said something isn't right with the test results. I knew those results were not wrong but I needed to know for sure. So I went back in for more testing and on Saturday morning March 24th I got those results back. He said I don't know how this could be because you weren't doing well before. Your blood count is normal and there is no sign of leukemia! Praise the Lord - I give You the glory! I learned that believing is the key to receiving. God is so awesome!

In November 2006 I visited the doctor for problems with my kidneys. When my blood work came back, they found that I had leukemia. So I began taking chemotherapy treatments under the orders of my doctor. At the time I didn't know that my doctor was not a cancer specialist. A little while after taking these treatments, my doctor referred me to an oncologist that was a cancer specialist. This new doctor determined that I was being overdosed with the chemotherapy prescribed by the other doctor and corrected the dosage.
