Interesting article Andrew. 

I too am a stage 4 metastatic melanoma survivor. 

One of those rare ones who's been told by their doctors they are a miracle. 

I.e., I am not the one who did the initial claim of miracle, and they just agreed. 

9 doctors. 

Oncologists, Internists, Radiation Oncologists, Thoracic surgeons, and others, all with a thriving practice, in a metropolitan city. Including nurses. All have decades of experience, on top of their schooling, and board certifications. THEY are the ones who keep telling me— Steve, You are a miracle. We have no idea why you're alive. 

The thing that strikes me as curious here is that unless, and until you can observe the transition of cellular, and molecular matter changing from one of cancer growth to cancer decay, the best you have is exactly what other doctors have.

Your article refers to a GP…. a general practitioner. While getting through medical school alone is a feat for a giant in my book, he's still not an oncologist. 

This article appears to be a secondhand justification of an attitude that I see all too often in people who have no first hand experience in watching their own patients go through it.

So, here's my thought.

Get a hold of a few Quantum Physicists, and Chemists. Either design/create/build a dynamic electron tele/microscope which can actually observe cellular and molecular matter do the turn around on growth to death or decay. 

Then engage a handful of radiation oncologists, and maybe even oncologists. 

I'm a physicist by education, and have lived with, instead of dying of, my cancer since 1987. So, while I am not a medical doctor, I've spent a good amount of time talking with mine, to better understand the dynamics of cancer. 

I've learned— the natural direction of cancer is to grow, unfettered, until something prevents it from growing any further. Typically, this means the death of the cancer's host– human beings. 

I.e., there's a limit to how far cancer can grow. It's common knowledge, and an entire industry has grown up around this knowledge. Aka, the chemotherapy industry. Entire companies are in the business of finding a poison which will kill the cancer, while not harming the patient. There are numerous medical radiation machines that exist for that same purpose— kill the cancer without harming the patient. Older technology resulted in severe burns on the patient's skin. Now, there are devices which can focus a beam of radiation to the cancer itself, and not go beyond a millimeter or two beyond the outer edges of the tumors. 

While I know for a fact that you won't see God's hands in there reversing the actions of cellular and molecular growth, you may be blessed enough to actually observe the opposite effect of what cancer naturally does. 

Until then, save us the ignimony of knowing your contempt for hope, and life. 

We've already been fighting against our own. We already know we're headed towards death, at as fast a rate as the cancer will drag us kicking and screaming. We're not demanding to be allowed to live the last few days, weeks, months or years in blissful ignorance. We're demanding that you either shut up, or become someone who's actually doing something useful. And this article of yours is not. 

While this post of mine is 8 years after the fact— just one more straw in your already broken camel's back— it serves to remind those who are still alive— science has no idea, and at best, they seek to give us hope, or at worst, like this guy's article, they strip hope. 

whatever my doctors consider a miracle to be, I'll take it. As I know there's only one who is capable of giving miracles, I'll stick with Him. 

Jesus Lives to intercede for all who will believe him!
