After many examinations in specialised clinics following her
infection with Hepatitis A, Christina Roth from Dresden was
diagnosed as suffering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma (lymph node cancer).
Only 20 years old, the diagnosis was a deep shock. She went through
chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Many Christians prayed for her, but
she was not supernaturally healed; the therapy was effective, and
the tumour disappeared. The next shock came only four weeks later
during a check-up: she had leukaemia, perhaps as a result of the
radiotherapy. On 9th November 1999, she started her
second chemotherapy. Weeks passed in which she was sometimes close
to death. Her doctors later suggested a stem cell transplantation,
which Christina refused, much to their concern, because they
thought she wanted to die. (The stem cell transplantation had a 50%
chance of success, chemotherapy 10-20%.) Christina, though, decided
to trust God, "who is above all chances of success". Whenever she
spoke with her doctors about God, they listened without paying any
real attention. A check-up at the Carl Gustav Carus University
Clinic in November 2004 finally delivered the long-hoped-for
result: "Complete remission of both Hodgkin's Lymphoma and the
secondary Acute Myelitic Leukaemia..." "I can now declare you
healed!" the doctor said, a statement which is very seldom made of
cancer patients.
