I sincerely hope that in sharing a
little part of my story
of survival, I may put into words the
incredible feeling of love and peace I feel when connecting to my
angels..In
May 1997 during a routine
gynaecological exam, I was told I had cancer.
The
way in how I was
treated was abrupt and impersonal; not only was I diagnosed with
cancer, but it was
implied that it was my own doing. I remember
driving to a friend’s work near home, and telling her and crying.
How I got home, I don’t know. The
following Monday I was given a
referral to a Gynaecological Oncologist. My Oncologist whose initials
are J.C was a kind and compassionate man. He explained what was going
to happen..I
had surgery the following week and it was during this
operation that I had my
first spiritual experience. While I was
being
operated on, I saw a big man with a beard; he touched my hand and
said “Don’t worry everything will be alright”. I
put it out of my mind for a few days;
the only thing I knew was that I felt extremely happy. A friend came
to see me and said, “You are glowing, you look like you are full of
love”. I told one of the nurses about my experience, but she said
it was probably my imagination, or the anaesthesia. But I knew it had
been GOD who had sent me a message.
.
I
got out of hospital and stayed in bed
for almost 2 months.
During this
time, our electricity and gas were
cut off, I was in bed recovering from surgery, all our spare money
was going into the mortgage and my vitamin supplements, and our
children were still in school. We didn’t have much left for
anything else. We had a lot of friends before my illness. It was a
very trying time for us; I was trying to recover from surgery and my
emotions were all over the place.I missed my friends.
One
night I had a vivid dream that
Rosina had come and taken my hand, put it on my groin and showed me I
had a little lump. Rosina was a 12 year old daughter of a close
friend - who had died in a car accident 11 years earlier.
When
I awoke, I checked my groin and
found a lump. The cancer had
returned, this time in the lymph nodes
of my groin. My treatment was day surgery followed by six weeks of
radiation therapy. Somebody
up there was saying “Wake-up,
Wake-up!”, this time I decided to listen.On
the 25th of March, 2001 I
went to Brazil to see John
of God. I had psychic
surgery, and
during current (meditation) I was surprised to see Mother Mary in the
room; I asked her what she was doing here. She embraced me and said
she loved me! Then I heard “God is happy that you have returned”..I
returned to Brazil two more times
before being told I was
free of cancer, and would be working as a
healing medium. There were many
changes in my life on the road to
recovery; I learnt to overcome fear, reduce unnecessary stress, and
be grateful for all the good in my life.I have taken many groups of Australians
and New Zealanders to Brazil, and it was on
one of these
trips that I
met Nathan. This Earth Angel came into my life, in the perfect time
and in the perfect place. We both knew what it was like to stare
death in the face, put complete faith into a higher power and
surrender. We were later married in Brazil, and now work together in
Australia and New Zealand.I
have taken the journey many times and
know that I, God and my Angels now walk side by side.
