Make jokes if you want, but my grandma was diagnosed with cancer about 20 years ago. Being extremely religious, she refused treatment, saying 'If this is how God wants it, so be it.' She did, however, go in for a prognosis check up every couple monthes. She had cancer for about a year and the only type of medicine she was taking was the power of her own prayer. Well, one day she went in for her check up and the doctor was baffled. Her cancer had miraculously disappeared. No operations, no chemo, no medicine, yet her cancer was gone. The doctor said he 'had never seen anything like it' and he could only describe it as a 'miracle'.

I'm sure skeptics would call it a mis-diagnosis, but she went in for almost a year and they were watching the cancer grow every time she did. It was not a mis-diagnosis.
