Back in 2002, God got my attention when I was told I had several serious health problems. I knew that God was in control, but I was still shocked and frightened at the same time. I was seen by several specialists, and was able to control my health with medication, which I still do today. Then, in November 2007, God got my attention again. I had noticed that while driving, I could not read the road signs very clearly, so I went to Wal-Mart for an eye exam. The optician at Wal-Mart said he could see what looked like a tumor behind one of my eyes! He referred me to an ophthalmologist, who also said that there was some kind of tumor behind my eye. He recommended that I get an MRI to see exactly what I had. When I got the results of the MRI, I was shocked. It showed not one, but two tumors.
I was referred to a neuro-vascular surgeon in Raleigh. I called to make an appointment, and they “just happened” to have a cancellation THAT AFTERNOON. So I went with my parents to Raleigh. The surgeon told us what kind of tumors I had, and that they responded well to radiation. After some tests to see if there were any other tumors, I started radiation treatments December 26, 2007 and finished January 31, 2008. The radiation killed the tumors completely, and I am still tumor-free today. I thank God for the optician at Wal-Mart. I truly believe he may have saved my life.
