A Living Testimony: Triumph Over Leukemia
It was a rainy Saturday in Hertfordshire when I received the call that would change everything. My consultant’s words echoed in my mind as I prepared to head to the University College London Hospital. My friend Tunde, despite his prior commitments, ensured I reached the station, allowing me to bypass the relentless traffic.
On arrival, Bridget, a family friend, greeted me with comforting support arranged by my wife. Despite my delayed arrival, the hospital staff’s warmth and professionalism were a welcome reprieve. As I settled into my room on the 13th floor, my mind raced with questions and fears. The familiar battle against leukemia was upon me again, a decade after my first encounter.
The first night was a blur of restless thoughts. My faith was tested as I grappled with the reality of my situation. Questions plagued my mind, and sleep was elusive. In my darkest hour, I turned to prayer, seeking solace in the words, “Jesus is the Lord of my life. Sickness and disease have no power over me.” This prayer became my refuge, offering a momentary escape from my worries.
Morning came with the daunting reality of my stay in the Haematology Ward. The process began anew with preparations for chemotherapy. As I looked out from my private room, watching the world continue unabated, I found solace in the thought that God’s plan was beyond my understanding. My faith grew stronger, bolstered by the unwavering support of those around me.
The journey this time was more challenging. Age had made me more aware of my vulnerability, and the doctors’ warnings weighed heavily on my spirit. Yet, advances in medical research offered a glimmer of hope. Continuous prayer and praise became my lifeline, fostering a climate of faith essential for my healing.
I clung to the promise of peace from John 14:27, “Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.” Creating an inner peace became paramount, as did the belief in Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
With each passing day, I embraced a bullish attitude and positive confessions. I declared, “I am going to beat this again and become a living testimony.” This mindset was crucial as I faced the rigorous treatment on the 13th floor of the hospital.
The battle against leukemia was formidable, but faith, prayer, and the support of loved ones fortified my resolve. I held onto the belief that with God, nothing is impossible. This journey transformed my perspective, reinforcing the power of hope and divine intervention.
