A California man’s unexpected recovery has left doctor’s baffled. A day
before his scheduled surgery to have a presumed brain tumor removed, a
final head CT exam showed that the mass in his brain had miraculously
disappeared.
Paul Wood, a resident of Lodi, in California, started complaining of
excruciating headaches and dizziness several months ago, and received
several serious diagnoses from doctors. A neurosurgeon at UC San
Francisco told him that he had a brain bleeding, while a radiologist
told him that his CAT scans showed a brain tumor. Both required risky
brain surgery, but a day before the scheduled intervention to have the
suspected tumor removed, a fresh CT scan revealed no sign of anything
unusual in his brain. Doctors couldn’t, and still cannot explain what
happened, but Wood is convinced that it’s nothing short of a miracle
from God.

A member of Gravity Church, Paul says that he shared the devastating new
of his suspected tumor soon after receiving the doctor’s diagnosis and
got an overwhelming response in the form of prayers and well wished from
all over California. He believes that it was his and his congregation’s
trust in God that made this “miracle” possible.
“My phone is blowing up, my Facebook is prayer after prayer, all over
California,” Wood told CBS Sacramento. “It’s a miracle and that is the
way God planned it.”
Doctors can’t really dispute Wood’s theory, as they cannot logically
explain what happened to the clear white spot visible on his initial
brain scans. They have reportedly asked Paul to take part in further
research so that they can learn more about what happened.
“We do tests and we have medical technology and we try to come up with
some conclusion… sometimes things happen that we can’t explain,” said
Dr. Richard Yee.
Ever since he received news of the miraculous disappearance of his
presumed tumor, Paul Wood has been sharing his story on social media and
professing his faith in God. According to one of the pastors at his
Church, it was this unwavering faith that helped him overcome his health
problems and also inspire other members of the church.
“He just kept saying, ‘no matter what happens to me, I’m going to be
okay. I trust God.’ And that was an inspiration for a lot of people
around him,” Jason McEachron, a Pastor at Gravity Church, said.
