The lead singer of the Christian worship band Casting Crowns has been released from the hospital after emergency surgery to remove a kidney because of cancer.

Now, Mark Hall’s wife Melanie is revealing that the cancer in question has been called “extremely aggressive” by doctors and that it was a “miracle” it was found before it could spread to other parts of Mark’s body.

“Praise the Lord! We are heading home! Wahoo! Mark turned a corner yesterday and had a good night last night. We think we’ve figured out how to manage his pain at home. He had his first meal today since chips and salsa last Monday night. Time to head to the house,” wrote Melanie in a post shared on the band’s Facebook page on Monday.

“The pathology report confirms that the tumor was indeed kidney cancer but it was fully encased. The findings of the report confirm that the cancer had not spread to the kidney or anywhere else. Glory Hallelujah! It was found in the earliest stage possible. For those of you that are more familiar with these type reports, it was labeled stage T1a,” said Melanie.

Melanie went on to say that the cancer was at a “nuclear level 3 cell type” meaning that it was ready to spread in the body but because it was encased it couldn’t get out.

She says that it’s a pure move of God that put the pieces in place to save Mark’s life.
