I suppose the good point is that her cancer got cured.
I'm going toward the false diagnosis and "mind over matter" concept.
Mind over matter meaning psychologically buffing yourself to fight cancer. After all, the body does fight cancer on its own- its called an immune system.
Yet, without going too in-dept, religion is very important when concerning health. Statistically, people that follow some sort of religion typically have longer lifespans.
And before some know-it-all says something, I mean mainstream religions. Christianity, Buddhism, etc. I'm not talking about Satanism here.
That would probably shorten your lifespan :oops:
Another thing to point out is that God or the saint healed the women, not prayer. The prayer was simply the request. Prayer is very important don't get me wrong, but I believe it would be inaccurate to say the prayer healed- otherwise alot more people would be cured of maladies.
Henceforth, this falls along the lines of a miracle. Whether that miracle was caused by the human body or God is another story.
I personally think it is both.

Luck, false diagnosis, mind over matter.
I don't believe in religion.

The truth is that I just happened to be in the neighborhood and I used my pure awesomeness to heal her cancer after she prayed.
No seriously, good for her. She will no longer die from cancer. Now she'll just be like most of us and die from old age and etc.

I don't think prayer healed her she did believe that she would get healed if she prayed so in my opinion I think what ever healed her had to be the power of thought and not prayer
Prayers? I call BS

You can put a number on a lot of things. Say this cancer patient, her doctor decides she has a 99.9% chance of dying in the next 6 months. That means she has a 0.1% chance to live. She dies. 998 other such patients die. The 1000th patient survives, as you would expect from the numbers (quick google says 8mil die from cancer every year). But oh em gee, 0.1% is impossible! It's a miracle!
Actually, if 8mil people faced a 99.9% prognosis of death, there would be 8000 miracles every year. If 1% of these people were prayed for, there would be 80 new saints every year.
Statistics.
Also, cancer remission isn't scientifically unexplainable. UV rays from the heavens fry just the right cells. Cancer mutates to death. Critical blood vessel sealed. Bitten by radioactive spider.
One also wonders why prayer isn't 100% effective, or why amputees have never been cured (for which there exists no plausible scientific explanation).
