(Minghui.org) My mother, sisters, and I often get together to cook. One Sunday we were making dumplings when one of my sisters asked me about the lump on my neck.

I usually wear turtlenecks so I had not noticed anything unusual on my neck. Sure enough, I checked in the mirror and saw a knot the size of an egg yolk. Everyone was concerned, and they encouraged me to see a doctor.

The doctor who examined me confirmed that it was a thyroid tumor. He informed me that I needed surgery as soon as possible. Naturally, this news was upsetting. I asked my boss for two weeks off for the surgery.

One of my sisters had another idea for me. “If you truly believe in Falun Dafa, you will be cured—without surgery,” she told me. “A lot of people who practice Falun Dafa are never sick and they don't take any medicine, either.”

I knew about Falun Dafa, that it was good, and that Falun Dafa practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. But after the communist regime started to persecute the practice in 1999, I no longer heard about it. Still, I thought it was a miracle that practitioners never get ill, not even with the common cold.

Surgery was expensive, and I would have pain and discomfort and a scar on my neck. thought I should try Falun Dafa.

So I started to study Zhuan Falun on my very first day off work, and I also learned the exercises. After I studied Zhuan Falun, I realized this book solved much of what I was puzzled about, and it helped me to understand how to be a good person. Gradually, I was able to let go of many things that had bothered me in the past. I also was able to let go of my anger.

However, I was attached to the tumor on my neck. Every day I looked in the mirror and wondered why it had not disappeared yet. When my two weeks were up, I returned to work with the tumor still on my neck and a very runny nose.

A few days later, I started to feel a little pain around the knot on my neck. One of my sisters told me that, if the pain got unbearable, I should go see a doctor.

Then, I remembered Master's words:

“When you feel very uncomfortable, it indicates that things will turn around after reaching the extreme point. Your whole body will be purified and it must be completely purified. The cause of your illness has been removed, and what remains is only this bit of black qi that will come out on its own to let you suffer some and have some pain. It is forbidden for you not to suffer even a little bit.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)

Master also said:

“We emphasize one point: If you cannot relinquish the attachment or concern for illness, we cannot do anything and will be unable to help you.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)

I realized I still had the attachment to this illness, which I had to let go. So I decided to no longer think about my neck or look in the mirror.

Two weeks later, I realized the knot had become smaller. I asked my husband to verify it for me and he agreed it was definitely smaller. After another two weeks, the tumor had totally disappeared. My entire family witnessed the miracle of Dafa.

My father-in-law and brother-in-law are both doctors. They could not understand how this could have happened: My thyroid tumor completely disappeared after 40 days without any medication or treatment. Modern medical science could not explain it.

Master completely removed the illness karma from me. We are all very grateful to Master for his compassionate salvation.
