When God Made a Way: My Mother’s Victory Over Stage Four Cancer

Fifteen years ago, my mother faced terminal stage four ovarian cancer. Tumors pressed on her heart and shut down her diaphragm, forcing her to breathe on one lung. No surgeon in San Diego would operate until one doctor agreed—only after we signed liability waivers acknowledging she might not survive. On the morning of June 30, 2010, we waited in the hospital room filled with an unexpected peace. We laughed, shared memories and prayed together. My mother even asked to pray over the skeptical surgeon, declaring her faith that God would guide those hands. Against all medical odds, she survived the full hysterectomy and recovered. Her story reminds me that even the smallest faith can move mountains and bring hope when all seems lost.
