Another Healing Story

The following letter was sent to OLTIV by a woman who wanted to share her story with everyone she could. Here it is. Keep up the prayers and don't lose hope!

"I would love to tell the story, it is pretty simple. I have renal cell carcinoma stage 4 cancer, originally diagnosed in 1996. I had an 8 lb. tumor removed along with my left kidney. I was told to enjoy the next year, for I was supposed to die in that time."

"I survived (whew!), by the Grace of God, and the intercession of Mother Mary and St. Joseph. Then, 10 years later, it returned, near my right kidney in a lymph node. I survived once more, and am now cancer free."

"During that time, I was put on a prayer list through OLTIV.org. Many prayers were said for me, and I was given water to drink during and after my surgery from a "spring that sprung" at Sylvan Springs. I have prayed to Mother Mary, and I feel inside that through this, I survived. Thank you, OLTIV!!! Keep the prayers coming!" -Karen
