Has anyone heard of Gloria Strauss??

Question

If you have then pray for her!!!!! If not, she is a girl that found out she had cancer like 4 years ago, they told her that she only had months to live. She recently was hospitalized on acount of seizures and her heart stopped. That was 2 weeks ago. Now, she is doing great and everyone thought she was going to die. She may be going home as early as Wednesday. Pray for her health everyone, because she is a miracle only God could make.

Answer 1

Glad to hear she is doing well. But for those of us who know many cancer patients, including children . . this scenario is pretty common. Cancer patients frequently live on a day to day basis as there is no guarantee that treatment will work. I don't mean to make light of your concern, but I can point you to literally hundreds of similar situations where patients rally back and forth. Absolutely no one knows when someone will or will not die, including doctors. And patients thought to be terminal will often continue to live until it is there time. I know a 13 year old girl with advanced cancer who just refused to die and continued to live for two years after prognosis.

Hope your friend continues to do well. But, really . .other than the media writing reports about her progress . . this is not uncommon at all. Here are two young people who have recently had similar media attention . .but have since passed away:

There are alot of special cancer patients in the world and you should pray for them all.

Answer 2

Haven't heard of her, and don't know what makes her different to thousands fighting cancer at any given moment.

Pray for her, we can never ignore the power of positive thought, but pray for all victims of cancer as you do.
