Cindy Mbanjwa, a Soweto pastor, has spoken about her two time experience with cancer.<\/p>\n

The 30-year old founder of Shekinah Glory Outreach Ministry is fighting stage 3 cancer. In 2015, her son died of the same disease. He was only two.<\/p>\n

Her son Nkazimulo was born with neuroblastoma, a cancer that starts in nerve cells of an embryo or foetus.<\/p>\n

Mbanjwa is waging war for her survival from cervical cancer.<\/p>\n

“When I got Nkazimulo, he was restless. He liked being carried by everyone, and one day I discovered that he had a blue eye. I assumed that he had fallen and no one told me. He was sweaty in the night and didn’t pass urine.<\/p>\n

“One Sunday, one of the ladies said I should take him to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and it was there that we discovered that he was born with cancer, and it was already stage four.<\/p>\n

“The doctors had wanted me to abort him because of the condition of my womb, but I didn’t agree. It was a difficult time for me too because the father of the child also denied paternity. It affected me badly but I had faith.”<\/p>\n

Mbanjwa is still going for more procedures and tests so that she can start with chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

“God has a sense of humor. I’m not worried because I know I will come out of this stronger because God is faithful and I will share my experience with others.<\/p>\n

“Life teaches you to stand and know who you are in Christ. I have been raped, homeless and faced rejection, and when challenges like this come they seem easy to beat.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
