My name is Nailor J. Adams and I am 93 years young. I live at 31 Melanie Drive in Monroe
and have lived alone since my wife passed away about 5½ years ago. In the spring of 2015, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. My family physician referred me to a chemo physician, Dr. Gammbage. After a series of scans and tests, I learned cancer was inoperable. He said even if the surgery was successful, I would be on a respirator for the rest of my life. Due to my age, my doctor also felt like the chemotherapy would not be an option because it would be too hard on my body. My only option was radiation treatments.
I was referred to Dr. Ebeling in Monroe. The long season of 50 radiation treatments began.
After the completion of treatments, I was hopeful for a future cancer free.
After 14 weeks, I had another PET scan and the results were that my cancer was back. I was then referred to a doctor in Shreveport in hopes of a new treatment that may work. Because the previous 50 treatments were so recent and because of my age, that was not an option. The doctor there said the treatments would be too hard on my already very damaged and weak lung. I felt hopeless at that time, but little did I know, that God had a different plan for me…..His Plan and His Timing
One night a few weeks later as I knelt beside my bed praying, as I do every night, I asked God to help me because everything else had failed. As I was praying, I felt something pulling at my chest. It wasn’t painful, just a pulling feeling. In a few short moments, the pulling sensation ceased and two words came to me “It’s Gone”. At that moment, I thought it was coming from the ceiling of the room, the floor and all around. A good Christian friend told me that was The Holy Spirit speaking to me. That was a night of rejoicing, crying, laughing and having the most wonderful peace in my heart. I have shared this miracle with my family and everyone since then. I have never stopped thanking God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit since that moment.
With Love of God,
Nailor Adams
