Prayer quickly heals diagnosed ovarian cyst

Deirdre D'Amico

When I was a young woman in my 20s, unmarried, but going out with a man I planned to marry, I began to have extreme abdominal pain and a bloated stomach. It got to the point that I couldn't even touch my stomach.

Christian Science was very new to me then, but my sister was a practicing Christian Scientist, so I knew a little about it. I had had a number of gynecological health problems, which were taken care of through medical means, so I decided to go to the doctor about my abdominal pain. He diagnosed me as having an ovarian cyst, the size of a grapefruit. This left me feeling in a complete panic. I had recently gone through surgery, which added to my fear.

The doctor suggested a biopsy, to which I agreed. I went through preoperative testing at the hospital. The doctor told me there was a chance I would lose either one or both of my ovaries. I was very afraid that this operation would diminish my capacity to have children and would adversely affect my relationship with the man I was dating.
