A former California pastor who miraculously recovered from six brain tumors credits the Lord for his cancer remission. Scott Erdman was first diagnosed with melanoma in 1981, and fought the disease for decades. He expressed gratefulness that he has been cancer-free since 2010. Erdman's battle began when he was a student at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. The then 24-year-old found a lump in his armpit, and doctors eventually removed a tumor and 24 surrounding lymph nodes. Erdman decided early on that he would trust God for his restoration. ‘I've always been an individual that's really wanted the most for what I could give. So when this happened. God really took the issue of what was going to happen with my life, and I didn't ever really take it back,’ he told FoxNews.com.
