Hello, my name is Evelyn, and I received a diagnosis on August 5, 2026. I am a Christian, and facing this new phase of treatment has been peaceful for me because I know in whom I have believed; my strength comes from God, who assures me that nothing happens without a purpose. Going through this with God makes it easier and lighter. He renews me and gives me hope, and I believe in the name of Jesus that I will be healed and will return here to share my testimony of what God has done and can do—not only for me but for everyone facing this situation.
Hi Evelyn Evellynn and a very warm welcome to this corner of the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
I am Mike and I have been on my cancer journey for over 26 years…… first diagnosed in 1999 at 43 with my first rare (8 in a million), hard to treat, incurable T-Cell Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
My Asbestosis was diagnosed in 2012…. then in late 2013 my second very rare, (4 in a million hard to treat, very aggressive T-Cell Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma appeared…… and recently in April I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.
Due to me having to be treated for my 2 rare T-Cell NHLs at the same time my main treatment journey from late 2013 to late 2015 was rather complicated (See my story) but I am coming up to 11 years out from my last treatment, I turned 70 last Nov and I am doing great.
So I know that navigating this journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but having been a Christian since 1969…… my Faith has had a significant positive effect on my cancer journey
It started back in 1999 when my first Lymphoma had a median survival set at 3-5 years…… the miraculous developments in treatment in itself is a miracle……
But during my years I have experienced some amazing miraculous God interventions.
What type of cancer do you have Evelyn?
