Evangelist and actress Priscilla Shirer says that not only is her recovery going well following major surgery, but there's more good news in regards to her health.

In January Shirer announced that doctors had found "dangerous irregularities" in a nodule in her left lung that doctors had been watching. She underwent surgery, saying at the time "We refuse to cave to fear, anxiety or a decrease in faith."

In the last week Shirer took to social media to provide an update, in which she began thanking supporters for their prayers and messages of concern.

Shirer says while her breathing is still laboured, her recovery is going very well. And, she says, "the surgery was curative, praise the Lord. So I don't have anything else to do in that regard other than recover."

Messages and cards of support and concern have been helpful for Shirer she says. Not only did she face major surgery, but she has also lost a number of family members in recent months, including her mother.

"Thanks for continuing to pray for us, for our family as we recover from everything that has gone on. Every card you've sent, every gift you've sent, I've read them all, gotten them all, and I'm really grateful. Thank you so, so much."
