(Minghui.org) Western and traditional Chinese medicine couldn't help my 83-year-old mother-in-law after she was diagnosed with bone cancer. Yet after she sincerely recited, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” she was surprised at what happened.

My mother-in-law's left leg doubled in size in the spring of 2016, and she could no longer walk. The doctor at the county hospital said, “She is retaining fluids in her legs and her bones are black. Take her to the provincial hospital at once.”

The Harbin University Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosed her with bone cancer. They told us that surgery was not an option at her age. They said they could only send her home. We asked that they at least give her some medicine, so they prescribed her an ointment.

I knew that Falun Dafa was her only hope. I urged her to recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” but she didn't believe it would help.

Even though she carefully cleaned her legs and applied ointment, nothing changed.

A friend came to our home to encourage my mother-in-law. She gave her examples of how Falun Dafa had helped many people. She appreciated our efforts and finally agreed to give it a try.

She sincerely recited the phrases throughout the day. Gradually, she didn't need her walker and used a cane instead. One day she forgot the cane and realized that she no longer needed it. She was very grateful to Falun Dafa and became more determined.

The swelling in her legs went down in about a month, and they no longer hurt, even in the location where the cancer had been diagnosed. She felt that reciting, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” had caused the cancer to disappear. She then decided to practice Falun Dafa. She read Zhuan Falun every day and felt that her body had been purified.

The blood vessels behind her ears used to protrude out to about the size of a finger. But they gradually softened and then disappeared after she started the practice. She also had a bump on the back of her head that went away. The varicose veins on her left ankle, which had been black, returned to a normal color. Her blood pressure dropped from 200/170 to a normal level, and she no longer needed any medication.

Her state of mind completely changed as well. She became animated, and her complexion turned rosy. She couldn't stop herself from telling everyone that Falun Dafa had restored her health.
