One healing that really stands out to me started as quite a challenge. I detected several lumps in my breast and was experiencing a lot of discomfort. I became very fearful and turned to the Bible and to Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, studying favorite passages for comfort. However, fear seemed to hold a huge black cloud over me. My fear increased when I discovered that my grandmother had had a mastectomy, and I became concerned that the difficulty was hereditary. Although the numerous healings I have had through the study of Christian Science assured me that this, too, could be healed through prayer, I was frightened enough that I did make an appointment with a doctor for an examination. He found evidence of lumps, and an ultrasound examination confirmed his diagnosis. He immediately made an appointment with a specialist for me to have the lumps removed.

was done by
the nurse, but she
found nothing.
I then began an earnest search for a better understanding of my relation to God. In my study of Christian Science, I had learned that I am created in the image and likeness of God, and that God made everything good. I held to this truth for several days. During this time of study and prayer I felt I had been healed. However, I felt that having the healing confirmed would ensure that the doctor who had first examined me would not feel concerned.
