LUNG CONDITION DISAPPEARS QUICKLY THROUGH PRAYER
After our children and their families had all migrated from South Africa to Australia, my wife and I decided to apply for a parent visa in order to migrate as well.
During our stay in Australia on a three-month visitors visa, we were called to undergo medical examinations and X-rays by the Australian Health Services, in compliance with permanent visa application requirements.
Although my test results initially appeared to be fine, I was notified two weeks later that my left lung indicated a condition that would require me to see a respiratory specialist for further evaluation. The specialist confirmed that I had no signs of tuberculosis, but he expressed concern about an "opacity" on one of my lungs. A second X-ray was taken, which also showed the opacity. He then informed me that it was a matter of urgency that I have a CT scan done that same day, and that I consult my doctor, as the opacity indicated a possibility of cancer. I thanked him for his concern, and said I would attend to the matter.
