A Battle Against Cancer That Seemed Lost<\/strong><\/p>\n When 47-year-old Rose Namakula was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer, doctors at Nsambya Hospital and the Uganda Cancer Institute warned that her condition was critical.<\/p>\n Her health deteriorated rapidly \u2014 she could neither eat nor swallow saliva, and her frail body wasted away.<\/p>\n > \u201cShe couldn\u2019t take in anything. The doctors suggested inserting a feeding tube,\u201d her son recalled. <\/p>\n For months, Namakula underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but the treatments brought little relief.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Turning to Faith Amid Despair<\/strong><\/p>\n When medical options seemed exhausted, her son persuaded her to visit Holy City Entebbe, a faith-based ministry led by Bro. Ronnie Makabai.<\/p>\n According to Namakula, during a prayer session, she felt something shift inside her throat. Moments later, she could drink water freely \u2014 for the first time in months.<\/p>\n > \u201cIt felt unreal. For the first time in months, I could drink and breathe freely,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her family says she regained her strength within days and was soon able to walk again. When she returned to the Uganda Cancer Institute for follow-up scans, doctors reportedly found no trace of the disease.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Medical Community Urges Caution<\/strong><\/p>\n While Namakula\u2019s story has inspired many, medical experts urge caution and emphasize the need for verified evidence in such cases.<\/p>\n > \u201cMedicine doesn\u2019t have all the answers,\u201d said a doctor familiar with her case, speaking on condition of anonymity. \u201cSpontaneous remission in cancer is extremely rare \u2014 but it can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dr. Miriam Akello, an oncologist based in Kampala, highlighted the importance of balancing faith with science.<\/p>\n > \u201cFaith plays a crucial role in emotional resilience,\u201d she noted. \u201cBut patients should continue seeking professional medical care even as they pray.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n —<\/p>\n A Message of Hope and Renewed Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n At Holy City Entebbe, Namakula\u2019s recovery has been celebrated as a testimony of divine healing. The ministry maintains that all prayers are offered free of charge.<\/p>\n > \u201cWe have seen God heal what the world calls incurable,\u201d said Bro. Ronnie Makabai, the lead pastor. \u201cMiracles are still happening today. Let the world know that Jesus is Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today, Namakula lives cancer-free \u2014 a transformation that continues to inspire awe among her family, doctors, and community.<\/p>\n > \u201cI believe God gave me another chance at life,\u201d she said. \u201cMy message to everyone fighting illness is simple \u2014 don\u2019t give up.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Faith, Science, and the Mystery of Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether viewed as a medical mystery or a miracle of faith, Namakula\u2019s story has sparked conversations in Uganda about the intersection of spirituality and healthcare.<\/p>\n For now, she continues to live her second chance at life \u2014 grateful, healthy, and full of hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Battle Against Cancer That Seemed Lost When 47-year-old Rose Namakula was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer, doctors…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,8,153],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-healthy-living","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG-20251112-WA0046.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4205"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4205\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4207,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4205\/revisions\/4207"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenewsroomhub.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
