Diagnosed cancer healed

Karen Walsh

When I first started a career, I wanted to help people. Since I did well in the sciences in college, I went into the medical field, feeling this was a way I could contribute to society. My specialization became cytotechnology—the study of cellular composition and the detection of cancer.

I spent most of my days screening prepared slides, in search of cancer cells. If cancer is caught in the early stages, it is possible to cure it by modern technology. I took this seriously and got very good at what I did.

Shortly before I was to be married, I had a physical checkup. I was able to check one of the tests I had myself. Screening my own slide for cancer—just a routine test—brought an unpleasant surprise. The test was positive. This statement from Job describes exactly how I felt: "The thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me" (3:25). I had cancer, although it appeared to be in its early stages.
