A doctor in a white coat walked into the consulting room and announced, ‘I have found a large, aggressive, fast -growing tumour in the bowel.’

A few minutes later, I left the hospital with an appointment for an operation on 12^thch December to remove part of my colon.

From then until the operation, I had a great big golden angel with me all the time. I could feel or see it round me, and it was deeply comforting! When I returned from the op all my spiritual guides and angels stepped aside while I underwent an initiation. (though a water dragon stayed with me, keeping the Christ light flowing).

Life review – I am given the choice to live or die

The night after the operation I was shown all aspects of my life and asked if I was ready to let go. I asked if my dogs and my grandchildren would be okay and the voice reassured that they would be, so I reply, ‘I don’t mind. Whatever is for the highest good.’

The join in my intestines leaked and I underwent a second operation a week later. Once more I had a life review. the same thing happened but even deeper this time until I could release everything. There were no angels, just pictures and a guiding voice. After that I felt I could continue my journey on Earth or pass over. Again, I was given a choice to live or die and responded, ‘whatever is for the highest good.’

I was speedily discharged but everything was breaking down and I got weaker and weaker, until two weeks later, a friend who was looking after me and my son, were desperately trying to get hold of medical help as they could see, I was dying. Suddenly, in the night, there was a ring on the front doorbell and I heard a voice announce, ‘hello I’m Doctor Raphael.’ Everything changed. I found myself back in hospital in resusc, then intensive care. Later Archangel Raphael told me that he had impressed on Dr Raphael to come to me!

It was while I was in hospital that I had some amazing spiritual experiences, especially over Christmas
