Probably both. My brother had cancer, and he read a lot while recovering from surgery. He learned a lot about keeping his body healthy, and a lot about most of the different religions. I would read the bible simply because I should know it better so I can argue it intelligently.

Depends, do I want to live or die. Hey, make sure you only ask the 30% of the world that IS christian next time. If I got cancer, I'd thank god for giving it to me. Then I'd thank him for allowing me the insight to understand that death is only an event that I'll be experiencing along with birth for the rest of eternity, till I get it right.
If everybody in heaven only had to read a book and say something every night It'd be a lousy place full of studious assholes. If everybody in heaven had to have a close personal relationship with Jesus (or anyone else) It'd be like an exclusive nightclub.
Listen there is no Jesus...all Christians should agree that he was crucified. Hes god again, for christ sake. No more magic show.
If I were god, I'd be pretty pissed that people havn't forgotten about the old messiah. C'mon there's new sin and new temptation and a whole new set of rules. I don't have to worry about my neighbor coveting my mule anymore, God probably ****** himself and had babies many a time since Jesus...people were probably too buried in their lost in the grapevine translation Bibles to notice...I mean, how do you notice someone who does everything right?
Look, If someone tried to convince me to buy windows 95 for my eternal soul, I'd proooobably have to pass.
If I got cancer I'd die as quickly as possible and try again.

Get surgery, then read the Bible more and thank God. Did you know that Luke who wrote the gospel of Luke and the book of Acts (New Testament) was a doctor? And that Jesus is the greatest physician?
Did you also know that a lot of doctors today believe in the scientific healing properties of prayer? That people who pray tend to heal faster?

I had cancer and I both read the Bible and prayed and went through chemotherapy. God knows all things. The only knowledge that man has is revealed to him by God. There's nothing anti-Christian or anti-faith about using the knowledge that has been revealed by God.
Having been through cancer, it's also clear to me that doctors do not possess all knowledge and doctors do not all agree on how to treat cancer. I prayed a lot for wisdom in who to trust and what treatments to accept or to bypass.
In the end it is only God who heals.
Cancer free for 10 years.

I always find it ironic when people ask this sort of question because my mother really did get cancer. The thing is it was inoppurable.
They tried drugs, and the chemo was almost worse than the illness itself.
It was at that time that the church decided to step in. They took advantage of my mothers weakness to "bring her back into the fold" and she started preaching to all of us.
I think science could have helped more but I think they gave up trying because of the church. I'm still quite angry at those jerks for doing that.

I'll try Assay Thereapy if I ever get it, so the Doctor will know which drugs work best..
Like my fellow athiest W.C. Fields, at that point I'll probably read the Bible "just to check for loopholes", like he said.Since there wouldn't be anything left to lose, I might as well.

I will for sure continue to read my Bible.... I will do whatever else I can as well.... whatever the diagnosis I wont be too concerned about it... if I go sooner or latter I will still end up in Heaven.

Surgery....and continue prayer. G-d must approve of doctors, as Luke was an author in the NT and a doctor.
