Having been a cancer patient through colon cancer
surgery in 2010, a complete hysterectomy in 2011 and in
2012
a return of the cancer of the spine, ribs and scapula, I
was given a diagnosis of “no hope” by three different cancer
clinics. I was told not to go to M.D. Anderson because there
is not a protocol to treat my diagnosis. In fact, all of the
clinics told me I had a year to live. It was at the time that
I decided that God could help me if I BELIEVE in His
promises and went to the blessed people that have the gift
of healing. My daughter-in-law and grandson had found
peace with Sister Dulce after the death of my son three years
ago and she highly recommended her to me. I made the
appointments and started seeing Sister Dulce monthly in the
spring and summer of 2012. At that time, I had ten tumors
on my spine, ribs and scapula. Sister anointed me with oil
and prayed to Papa for me every month. In July, my PET
scan showed one tumor left, and the scan in October showed
an “all clear” with all of the tumors healed over as scar tissue.
There is no other answer but that God worked through Sister
Dulce and other prayerful people to heal me. God truly gave
me a miracle. I believe he kept me to give faith, hope and
courage to those who have reservations about His healing
power and His goodness.
I pray everyday for His continued blessings and I visit
Sister Dulce regularly.

My journey began April 7, 2011 when my biopsy showed
I had that big scary word “CANCER” (non-small cell lung
cancer). I never smoked a day in my life so it was hard to
believe I had lung cancer.
I immediately started treatment April 25, 2011. By the
time they did the PET scan, my only symptoms were a small
cough and losing my voice off and on.
Chef John Folse told my niece about Sister Dulce and he
suggested that I make an appointment. Well, I called and
explained my illness and was scheduled right away.
My husband, sister and brother-in-law all joined me for
my first visit with Sister. It was so spiritual –just laying my
eyes on her, I felt comfort and peace. She asked my husband
and I to sit down in front of her and she felt around my lung
and thyroid. She could feel the cancer. She touched the
cancer and asked Papa to help me through my journey. She
told me that day that within two years I would be doing good.
Sister said that the first thing I needed to do was listen to
my doctors. I visited the Prayer Center several times during
a 23 month period and would also called Sister weekly on
her cancer line. Sometimes, I would be having a really bad
day and out-of-the-blue she would call me – she felt my pain
and nausea.
There were times when I didn’t think I would make it
through the night and my husband would call her and she
would pray to Papa with me and get me through it. Thank
you Papa.
Twice I had PET scan readings on a Monday and anyone
with cancer knows how scary that is when the doctor reads
your scans and x-rays. Having seen Sister the Tuesday before
those Monday appointments, I was not surprised when the
doctor gave his diagnosis because it was exactly what Sister
had told me it would be. For instance, once she felt my
thyroid and said that the cancer was leaving and on the
following Monday, the doctor told me the same thing. And
again, on another day, Sister told me that the cancer in my
lung had shrunk a lot and the next Monday, the doctor
confirmed that statement.
I became very upset a few months ago because my lung
doctor told me I had about a litre of fluid on my lung which
he could not remove because it was too risky. It could
collapse my lung (which is still there but doesn’t work from
radiation). However, he was going to need to remove about
a cup of the fluid with a needle and tube to see if the fluid
was malignant.
I came home from the doctor very upset and immediately
called Sister Dulce. She told me to calm down and tell her
what I felt and what I had been feeling for almost 22 months.
I told her that I felt like I have been fighting the devil but
that Papa had been holding my hand the whole time. She
calmed me down and told me to come see her on January
23
rd. My surgery, to remove the one cup of fluid, was
scheduled for January 25th.
I am 53 years old and have always had my faith. I’ve
been saying my rosary since I’m 7 years old.
On January 23rd, I went to see Sister and she asked me
to stand in front of her with my back facing her. She felt my
back and I didn’t have to tell her where the fluid was because
when she touched the fluid, I felt a twitch and it burned her
hands. She then took a rosary and touched my back and
asked Papa to please put the fluid in her hands and to take
it from me. Well, I left feeling at ease because that is what
Sister does – she calms you and makes you feel your faith.
