“We arrived in Tennessee at the end of April, 1995. We lived in a motel for a month while looking for a home to rent. During that time, Rex noticed a painful growth on his right testicle. After an unsuccessful round of antibiotics prescribed by a local MD, we were referred to a urologist who informed us that it was most likely a malignant tumor. He strongly recommended the removal of the testicle. A second opinion from a Vanderbilt University urologist suggested the same course of action. Less than 24 hours later Rex was in surgery at Vanderbilt Medical Center. A biopsy of the tumor confirmed it to be malignant - embryonal cell carcinoma, to be exact.

Less than one week later, a CT scan revealed that the cancer had spread into Rex's lymph system. This was the news most difficult to receive. Our oncologist informed us at this time that Rex would need to undergo an intense chemotherapy program. It was at this time that we hit our knees big time. We didn't feel at peace undergoing chemotherapy, yet how could we turn away from what our doctor said was our only hope? Praise Him who is the great Physician! In our weakness and fear, the Lord comforted us with His word from Isaiah: 'Do not fear, for I am with you.

During this confusing time, a newfound friend (we call her our angel in disguise) lent us half a dozen books and several videos on alternative cancer therapies. We began devouring them -- asking the Lord to guide and direct us. God did indeed answer our prayers and guided us to an alternative therapy. The results? In January of 1996 the CT scan revealed tumor shrinkage and in April of 1996 the CT scan revealed total remission!

God's word says we are wonderfully and fearfully made. He has given each one of us a fabulous internal army (our immune system) that can fight against invaders when it is strengthened and built up. After 12 years, Rex continues to get a clean bill of health from our oncologist every year – for this we give God immense thanksgiving and all the glory! Rex and Julie Clement”
