In what seems like a Christmas miracle, the inoperable brain tumor of an 11-year-old girl in Texas has disappeared, and doctors say they don’t know why.
Roxli Doss was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG, in June, as KVUE reported, and went through weeks of radiation.
Her parents, Gena and Scott, prayed for a miracle and they got it.
Her mom said: “It’s kind of our family thing that God healed Roxli.”
The girl’s medical team are equally in a state of disbelief.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Have no fear, God is still here! Praise the Lord!
If it ain’t broke, don’t break it!
What are the survival rates for DIPG? Unfortunately, the survival rate for DIPG remains very low. At this time there is no cure for this tumor. The brain tumor team at St. Jude along with colleagues at many other pediatric brain tumor programs across the U.S. will continue to strive toward finding a cure for patients with DIPG.
Amen.
Indeed.
That’s been my tagline, for quite some time, now.
May Our Heavenly Father continue to heal, bless and keep this sweet young lady. In Jesus’ Holy name.
My daughter’s sister-in-law is a nurse for those kids at Dana Farber. I don’t know how she does it.
.
but does that mean that every other little boy or girl that dies of a horrible disease or injury or attack were less deserving?...that their parents didn't pray hard enough?.....weren't holy enough?...
don't think so.....
I think we pray to God for HIS will be done and for us to accept it and be at peace with it....
just my take....
because we all know wonderful beautiful and God fearing people that have lost loved ones and its not because God was ignoring them..
They have a special new treatment for DIPGs. Some of them have had great success.
Wonderful for the girl and her family.
Amen to that!
Both 1 and 2; never underestimate the power of omnipotent God in circumstance.
AMEN.
Morally we’re all impoverished charity cases before the Lord. Mankind rebelled against God, and without the grace of God we would end up being God’s willing enemies for aye.
She may prove a great witness for the Lord, and yet suffer in some other fashion at some other time.
“————and yet suffer in some other fashion at some other time.”

We all do.

Good for her, I hate seeing children suffer.
In just the last year one of the Mrs friends had a brain tumor. No chance, living on borrowed time, then she just up and...didn't die. Brain tumor "disappeared".
They are depending upon “imaging” (X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, NMR, etc.) for the diagnoses, not actual biopsies.
I went to the emergency room once and they took a chest X-ray and the affirmative action intern was positive I had lung cancer. Turned out the “shadows” she used for her diagnosis were scars from the histoplasmosis I had as a kid that I caught from cleaning out my pigeon coop.
I hate to throw cold water on a spark of hope but it could be a misdiagnosis in the first place. God works very hard to not expose Himself FORCING people to believe instead of through faith and thereby achieving true agape love communion.
That’s why I said so... it seems so obvious on reflection, yet we want to say Hey! How unfair! No. We don’t understand what fair is.
Even Job was preserved in order that he might (ultimately successfully) fight the devil.
Looking at it from the larger point of view of the fight between good and evil, it’s worth praise in any case. How many times do we say “Oh, thank the good Lord, that fear was a mistake!” We ought to say it a lot! Our pride, which is hurt by admitting a mistake, dampens that down.
