I don't know how I could have forgotten to tell you about my experience, don't know if I consider it a healing. We have a well knows nun in our area that people all over come to for advice and healing. The hospitals refer patients to her. She does not claim to be a healer but does claim that God works through her and receives messages from God. She councils patients and helps people who are dying face their final days. When I was diagnosed, I went to see her. She did some sort of oil rub on my breast, said a prayer and then went into some sort of silent meditation. She then looked at me and said "don't worry, you are going to be cured". I said to her "I am stage IV, there is no cure". She then said "do you believe the doctors or do you believe what God is telling me". Didn't have an answer there, I just figured the doctors knew what they were talking about. She then told me that she has to tell people all the time that they need to get prepared to meet God and that I should take a lot of hope in what she had told me. I later met a woman who worked for Sister Dulce (the nun). She said that she had seen so many things that led her to believe that she truely had a gift from God. She said in the beginning, she was doubtful and looking for something to disprove her. She said that she walked into the nuns office one time when she was talking to a cancer patient on the phone. This patient was telling her about how the chemo was causing him to blister and bleed. She said when Sister Dulce hung up the phone, her hands were blistered and bleeding from talking to this guy. She said that she knew then that she had some sort of gift. It's been over 3 years now and I have been so lucky and blessed to have remained NED. I do often think about what this sister told me and hope that maybe she was right. Oh yea, I did go back and see her about a year ago. When I walked in, I wanted to say..."remember me..you told me I'd be cured"..before she could tell me something bad. She immediately looked at me and asked me who it was that was causing me such grief. I had been having some problems with my husband. When I told her, she told me in these words "get him in here as soon as possible, so that I can chew his butt out. "...lol.. .She's very protective of her cancer patients. My husband got a big laugh when I told him that he was going to get chewed out by a nun...he never did go in and see her..lol..sherryg683
