Show Notes:

Lung cancer patient Barbara Moore-Johnson, who received her medical care at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Phoenix, joins host Rev. Percy McCray.

Listen now to hear how this woman of faith exercised her right to seek a second medical opinion that finally provided her the confidence to feel comfortable moving forward with an acceptable medical plan of action.

I was embraced. With just love, it was just a peaceful feeling…”
