God has given me the common sense to go to a doctor when needed,but medical and scientific technology can't fix everything.My only daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was only 4 months old.The doctors told me she wouldn't live to be passed the age of 7.They couldn't save my beautiful little girl,but thankfully I knew One who could save her; God. He healed her of CF,and she is now a thriving,beautiful 19 year old woman.You can't tell me God doesn't exist,because I see God every single time I look at my sweet daughter.

I'm an atheist. When I've had to deal with death of people in my family and when I consider my own death, it saddens me greatly. Within limits, I try to correct my illness and live as long as I can. I would concentrate more on leaving some kind of legacy to the people I am leaving behind. I would let them know how much I loved them and do what I could to make their time on this planet as meaningful as possible (with money, a note about what I thought about them, that kind of thing).
Most atheists have already gone through the issues surrounding what "no heaven" means before they face their own mortality. But, no I wouldn't pray to God any more than a 20-year-old would write a quick note to Santa on Christmas Eve. If ya don't believe, ya just don't believe.

I am a one year survivor of stage 3A endometrial cancer and my faith and all the prayers from friends, family and my church is what got me though it. I honestly had peace in my heart throughout 4 surgeries, 6 rounds or chemo and 28 rounds of radiation. I never wavered in my faith.
If you don't believe in God and would like to know more visit a church in your area. I personally prefer a non denominational church.
If that's not something you are interested in pursuing then I suggest meditation tapes that you can get that are specifically for cancer patients. And read up all you can on your cancer, look for clinical trials. Knowledge is power.
Best of luck!

My mom first went to the doctors for lung cancer caused by smoking (quacks all of them. I think we should have pressed charges against the doctors for being incredibly stupid morons because apparently everyone else knew something was really wrong but the stupid doctors even with all the tests done. How the hell they could miss the cancer, I don't know. How do you miss fist sized masses in someones chest, I don't know. Malpractice suit's r us. But that's just me). The doctors failed and she turned to go in a last ditch effort. She died anyway.
Yeah, god did so much for her. She's dead.

Why would I be praying for hope? In the mealtime I would get as much joy left to get out of life for as long as possible and so yearn for the moment when I am back Home with my God for a moment... jeez! Well, I do have my very own God... no one elses' just mine... makes a difference I guess...

i will turn to myself because ive already sworn to myself that i will cure cancer. maybe not all of it but at least one version and that will be a help to someone. god will do nothing for you if you pray, give me one thing that god has given you after you prayed for it that you didnt have a hand in getting. i want to know one thing because i will honestly bet that you cannot name one thing.

i'm so sorry to take heed to that your loved ones and his has to flow through something like that. have you ever study the story of interest interior the Bible? we don't comprehend all the small print of what God sees. One guy interior the Bible became going to die. He prayed that God might enable him stay somewhat longer. even nonetheless that grew to become out that he grew to become from God in the time of that extension. He did no longer seek for God's will and he could have. we don't comprehend that if he have been to stay that possibly his finished family individuals might die in a vehicle injury. Like interest we could have faith that God is conscious each little thing. He would not take something like this gently. This existence is short, yet we are risk-free interior the certainty that when we do die all pains and suffering are long previous. as quickly as we've been in heaven for thosands of years, those short years in the international will fade away. it incredibly is complicated as we take care of the right here and now and our certainty. we are dealing perfect now with a family individuals member dealing with maximum cancers and have had quite a few interior the family individuals like that. we are residing in a broken down, fallen international and devil makes use of those issues for evil. yet God does use it for solid, it incredibly is the no longer uncomplicated area to locate each so often. i've got been through somewhat some no longer uncomplicated circumstances myself. yet looking decrease back at them I see the place they made experience why they occurred the way they did. regrettably all of us die bodily. In circumstances like that makes it even harder to comprehend i comprehend. each so often I faux that if I have been God is there reason to enable him stay and is their in all probability motives to no longer? Like I mentioned, it may be that the destiny might have held something far worse. You get to a factor you comprehend that with all the opportunities that purely God might comprehend what became the stunning decision. yet convenience in this that God will make all issues perfect interior the top. back i've got self assurance for you in this time. Like in James, once you flow into somewhat some trials ask God for understanding. feels like the biggest present you may provide is reassuring his spouse and teenagers. Hugs and prayers
