I have a very good friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. I went to the Dr. with her and heard all the news first hand. SHe definitly had Cancer and it had spread to her stomach and pretty much everywhere else. They said she had 6 months to live without Chemo and about a year with it. She was floored and I was shocked. Never expected that.

I promised her I would do anything I could to help. She soon decided to follow through with Chemo and live longer. In the mean time she was very active in her church, always has been and she stayed faithful. SHe volunteered and there was a group of church elders who would pray over her and annoint her everyday in the morning. well about 6 months later after a few surgeries and the awfulness of chemo we were at the doctors and her doctor comes in and is just smiling. HE siad he has no idea what happened but they cannot find any cancer at all. Not even an abnormal cell. He showed us before and after Xrays some taken as recently as a couple of weeks ago.

He had no explanation but My friend gave all the credit to God. I could not explain it and simply accepted it as a miracle. There simply was no other explaination. I now attend church faithfully and truly believe there is a God. Call me crazy or ignorant but you simply cany deny that something happened and it cannot be explained. Not even with science. Anyway this seemed like a good time to share the story.
For every story like yours there are a very large number in which the subject dies. Cancer is know to spontaniously clear sometimes, and there is no scientific reason why the body can't do this itself. So many people suffer from cancer, that ever if there is a one in a million chance for someone's immune system to kick it out, it will happen, and it will happen many times.

There is something called "Quantum Immortality". It's the speculation that, based on the many-worlds theroy of quantum mechenics, whenever you might die, you will observe the quantum reality in which you don't. For example, quantum reality says that if you try to commit suicide, murphy (as in murphy's law) will always thwart you. Though it says you'll live, you CAN observe the reality in which you are horribly maimed/brain damaged/whatever. If you'd died, you wouldn't be telling us about it.

Disclaimer: Quantum Immortality does assume that your ability to observe the universe ends when you die, which may conflict with some religious beliefs.
