How can faith help in fighting cancer and finding strength?

Some food for thought on this beautiful morning folks.. Scripture tells us to seek the kingdom of heaven and believe with our whole heart and soul in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.. Every one of us who has woken this day has been blessed with another chance to become closer to Christ.. Let us give thanks for this day. As for some food; Think fellow people He gave sight to the blind, He enabled the lame to walk,He brought Lazarus back from the grave.. So tell me please what chance does a parasite like cancer have against His Almighty Power.. The only thing standing in the way is OUR FAITH.. He said we have the power to move mountains if only we BELIEVE.. What chance does a parasite like cancer have against OUR FAITH.. Heavenly Father I beseech thee to touch the lives of all fighting this parasite called cancer in Jesus Name Amen.. God Bless Thomas

How did prayer help with my stage 4 lung cancer recovery?

Hello everyone my name is Thomas and March of 2025 I was diagnosed with stage four lung and bone cancer and given one maybe two years at the most.. I’m 73 years old and have gone through radiation treatments and immunotherapy treatments that needless to say almost killed me.. After my second immunotherapy treatment I told my oncologist I was finished with treatments.. I had never been so sick in all my life.. I lost not only my appetite but 40 pounds as well.. I spent eight months going from the bedroom to the bathroom sick as hell from the treatments and that was NOT how I thought God wanted me to end this life.. My wife needless to say was totally against my quitting therapy but now understands completely .. I can’t tell you when but one day after treatments I got down on my knees and gave everything and I mean EVERYTHING to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.. None of us know how when or where we’ll take our final breath it’s all in Gods hands period.. A couple of weeks ago I had a six month follow up with my doctor.. The week before I had blood work and a Ct scan and the results shocked my doctor.. Blood work came back great and the scan showed NO new growth of any cancer.. According to the doctor he’s only experienced this a couple of times in his career and I was one of them.. Praise be to God.. I’ve put back on almost all the weight I lost I’m eating like a horse and have even started painting the exterior of our home.. My testimony till the day the Lord sees fit to take me is PRAY.. I don’t care what religion you are or where you come from but we all have a choice in our lives and surrendering ourselves to our Lord and Savior is the BEST DECISION you’ll ever make folks.. Something to think about folks; Cancer is a multi billion dollar a YEAR business, do you think they’re going to find a cure and lose all that money.. I DON’T.. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving it to GOD.. And finally I hope and PRAY each and every one of you finds and experiences the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.. I pray that this will touch your heart and soul and you all experience the love of Jesus Christ.. God Bless you All Thomas

How do I advocate for RCC treatment when doctors seem to give up?

Hello guys, new here, im 47, recently told about RCC.I don't believe my doctors really actually even care anymore. I feel like they know im ill and I've been on dialysis for 8 years, so "what more can I do?" Is what im getting. I refuse to accept it. They found my C and didn't even tell me, until 3 months later when I read the CT scan on MyChart! I still haven't been able to get into a specialist. The local specialist office basically told me "there's nothing we can offer you" and that was it! But no conversation? I dont expect them to hold my hand, but something! I don't know if I'm "allowed" to even talk about the alternative or "repurposed" medications, but I've been on one for 2 months and i do believe it is smaller! My next scan is next week! What are others using, supplement wise? Thanks for letting me ramble-
