And they don't just shake chicken bones at tumors. But show me a religion that practices surgery on osteosarcomas. |

I was thinking more in terms of exposure to or knowledge of more developed countries rather than being in the outback or out-yonder somewhere. She finally got the surgery by her father seeing something on TV. What surprises me is that no even thought of this before! The faith that people have in the good God and evil Devil is not something I would dare mock. We already know we can make ourselves believe anything we want to believe, even to the point of making ourselves extremely ill or healing ourselves. Beyond that, well, I've seen enough to believe that there is more out there than we can sense -- good and evil. Still, what must it do to this girl's mind to have lived like this for most of her life? I just can't imagine the trauma of having her life change so radically. The tumor grew on her as the rest of her body grew, so she probably just adapted, but now she is completely different. She has so much to relearn . . . It hurts just to look at her . . .

I knew a very charming Christian lady who believed the devil had caused a fire in her house, but that God had turned the siutation around for her (neighbour had the day off and noticed the smoke very quickly, house was due redecoration anyway and the work was all covered by the insurance etc)
Although it didn't conform to my view of the world, I was glad she had those thoughts to comfort her. The only thing that disturbed me slightly was that she felt she had been tested - that the positive outcome was proof of her faith. Which made me wonder whether she thought people who owned houses that burned to the ground were sinners. I didn't dare ask her.

My cat has a tumor about the size of my fist potruding out of his side. I will probably have him put down today. I am sorry for the girl. I think if they can save a face they can save my cat?
That picture is incredibly amazing. |
