No more cancer

Rebecca Tripp

In 1974 I had my first healing in Christian Science.

During one routine checkup when I was in my 20s, my doctor told me: “I’d like to do another checkup with a second physician.” That additional exam led to a biopsy. A few days later, the second doctor called to tell me they’d found cancer and that I needed to go straight to the hospital for surgery. “If you don’t have this operation,” he said, “you’ll be dead by the time you’re 40.”

Those were the most horrifying words I’d ever heard in my life. I already had a terrible fear of cancer before this diagnosis. And as this fear went through me, it made me feel absolutely numb. Despite my panic, I knew that surgery wasn’t the only option. I knew there had to be another way.
