A week later I went for my exam and I went to show him where the lump was. He said, "No, don't show me, I will find it if you have one". He found it and said I sure enough had a lump. He gave me orders to get a mammogram at a hospital close to where I live.

The results came back showing two lumps. They said not to be alarmed but to repeat the mammogram in six months. I'm thinking, well I guess they know what they are talking about, so I did nothing. The next week I was sitting in my son's speech therapy office and my cell phone rang. It was my doctor!! He proceeded to tell me that he received my report and he didn't like what he saw. I asked if I should be that concerned about the lumps. He said, "If you where my wife, I would tell you not to wait". So, he recommended a surgeon for me to see.

I went in to the surgeon carrying both mammograms. He examined them and then me. Sure enough, he said, "You have two lumps, one that I can feel and the other I can't". He did some kind of test to take a sample of the lump he could feel. It felt like a cork screw needle that he twisted into my breast. Those results showed that the lump was not malignant. He suggested that I could go ahead and have the surgery before they turned into cancer or I could watch them closely over the next six months. What a statement! I said, take them out. So, we set up a date for surgery, which was within two weeks.  Before my surgery, I called Darlene and told her about my news. She came to visit me after that and prayed with me.  When I arrived at the hospital they prepared me for surgery. But, first I was to go to the ex-ray department for more mammograms.

The hospital has a new mammogram machine. You lye down on your stomach and they can take the ex-ray at many different angles. Once they locate the lumps, they inject dye into them so the surgeon will know right where to remove them. Well, the technician had me in that vice for a good 30 minutes. I finally told her that I needed a break. She said ok, just sit in this chair for a little while. I could hear the hospital calling for me to go to surgery. A few minutes later the radiologist walks into the room, kneels down next to me, and puts his arm around my shoulders. I'm thinking, Oh God, this must be bad! The doctor looked at me straight in the eyes and said to me, "Mrs. Suzette, the governor called at the eleventh hour and gave you a pardon". I said, what does that mean? He said, "You don't have any lumps, you have a blood vessel that has a kink in it". I couldn't believe it. I said, It's a miracle!!!!!!!!!! But of course he didn't respond. He sent me back to my room to wait for the surgeon to come down. The surgeon was very nervous and said, "Oh this is very common". I was thinking, "yeah right." To this day I have yet to receive a bill from either doctor. To me that tells the story.

As soon as I got home I had to call everybody and tell them about the miracle that happened to me. When I called Darlene and told her, she said, "I didn't tell you, but the day you first called me and told me about the lumps I immediately prayed and tried to heal you. It's not easy to explain, but I use my mind, to move myself aside; and I allow the holy spirit come through me to go into you. I used so much of my own energy sometimes I sensed a burning sensation and I even smelled something burning. I sent healing energy to you with intentions of burning out those two lumps". I couldn't believe it when she told me that. This was shocking to me and I just want everyone to know that Darlene definitely has a gift from God, it is called the gift of HEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
