I am only being monitored now every 3 months. So I had my 2nd CT Scan on Wednesday. I was supposed to see my doctor today but with everything else going on she decided to give me a call. My scan is great enough for me to continue without any treatment! I just would like those who are dealing with cancer to know that God will heal you! No matter whatever you hear from the doctor, He has the final say! I have been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer for almost 5 years now. I am 65 and extremely active! I rode my bike 25 miles to and from my Cat Scan appointment the other day. Now that the weather is getting better, I will be back in the park playing basketball! You must believe and have faith in God! It works for me and it will work for you! Peace and blessings! #GODCURESCANCER!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1563\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?fit=1920%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-link=\"https:\/\/walkingdeadman.com\/?attachment_id=1563\" class=\"wp-image-1563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/walkingdeadman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/25AD6B20-4397-45D0-9952-4A46A44403B2-scaled.jpeg?w=1740&amp;ssl=1 1740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><em>Believe!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been 6 months now since my last treatment for stage 4 lung cancer.
