I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 4/24. I did 6 weeks of oral chemo (capecitabine) and radiation 5 days a week ended 7/15. I was told no checking to be done for months because the treatment is effective after ceasing. In January of 25, a colonoscopy showed a new smaller tumor in the anal canal. A month later a biopsy confirmed lymph node and liver lesions. In a little over 2 months with a new doctor and medical group at Mayo Clinic, I experienced my first cancer decline by more than 50%. My treatment, the care and the doctors are all to be commended. Truly, I believe the one thing that made a difference for me was God. You see...I have been a devoted and faithful follower of Jesus for about three and a half years and realized when first diagnosed that God still had my best interests at heart and I would be fine with continuing to live on earth for maybe a few more years or maybe another 30 years! I am 65 now. After all...I know where I'll be going and it would be so much better than the struggles we contend with here on earth. I have so many people praying for my healing and encouraging me to pray too. I do pray but, I was struggling with praying for God to heal me. Perhaps because I thought well, he loves me and knows what's best anyway. Well, I finally figured out what praying for healing can do for your soul and with true faith I began praying regularly for God to heal me. Within a week or two, my petscan showed no sign of cancer on the liver and more than a 50% reduction on the lymph nodes and the anal tumor. 1 Corinth 4:20. "For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power" God is real and ready for you.

thank you so much and prayers for us all fighting this horrible disease. Do you mind me asking if you had a different course of meds at Mayo? Ive been researching even though I dont have my biopsy results yet to seek an alternative doc and treatment🙏
