I personally came to the conclusion that the wording does not matter. What matters is the belief you are holding. What do you believe? Do you believe that you can be cured or not? Wording is just a manifestation of your belief. In fact, you could hold beliefs without putting them into words at all... For example, if you believe in success, you'll be calm and happy while believing/expecting failure will result in fear and anxiety. You could also picture your belief in your mind without putting it into words.
AFAIK, LoA and IM is about aligning your beliefs with the results you'd like to get. Don't worry too much about why bad things happen in the first place. One way or another you are in the situation you are in. Try to focus on the brighter side of things and moving towards the results you want.
Several times a day (especially right before falling asleep and first thing when you get up), try to focus on the belief that somehow you'll get better. You don't have to know exactly how, when and where. Your body might cure itself, or someone else might come up with the cure.. Try not to lock yourself into a particular type of solution to your problem. Initially not knowing how the intention will manifest is perfectly fine while trying to predict how it might happen and expect to receive the cure only in that way (saying "XYZ is the only way I can see it happening") will only slow things down.
You could phrase the belief in past tense (it already happened), or present tense (it is happening and coming to you right now) or future tense (it will happen). The phrasing never made a difference for me.. Just so long as you believe that your cure is possible!
Make sure the phrasing does not cause disbelief in your mind. For example, I have trouble using the past tense. I say "if it already happened, I would have it right now", so it causes disbelief. I like the present tense because I can see that if I can form the idea and hold the belief in my mind, then it is created at that moment. We can't see or touch thoughts and beliefs, but they are real entities which sooner or later effect our reality. I don't know how to prove this to you scientifically, but I believe very strongly that scientist will eventually prove this. You can think of thoughts and beliefs like the radio waves. We can't see or touch them either, but they exist and we eventually learned how to create them at will and put them to use.
Future tense makes sense since you don't have your belief fully integrated into your reality as of this moment, but it will get integrated soon enough. If you end up using the future tense for phrasing your belief, make sure to do it such that you know the outcome is directed by your belief, and the physical manifestation will occur in its own perfect time and in its own perfect way.
Personal development gurus tell you not to use future tense in phrasing your intentions only because they think it implies in your mind that you will never achieve any results. This might be true in most cases, but now you know better. As long as you don't use the future tense in a daydreaming, "this will never happen" kinda way, then there is no problem using it. Don't forget that the key here is the belief itself! You could use any language, any tense, any word to define your belief. It could be as simple as "I believe I shall receive a cure".
Lastly, if there is anything you can do to alleviate your situation (find a doctor who can help you, etc), go ahead and do that. Taking action in alignment with your belief is a great way to focus on the belief. If you already tried everything you can think of (it is important to exhaust all options), then just focusing on the belief in the form of affirmations and prayer is fine too.
Good luck.
