Doctors Credit Cancer Healing to God, Prayer

Teresa Neumann : Sep 5, 2013  Ruth Ingram – The Clarion-Ledger

"Most patients don't have as spectacular a response [to cancer treatment] as Hal has had. And, absolutely, the power of prayer is an important part of this picture." -Dr. Tammy Young, oncologist
 
"He comes back with a PET scan that is completely normal. That is unheard of. He credits the Lord with this, and I think that's rightly so." -Dr. Jay O'Mara

Hal Hart(Jackson, MS)—In 2008, Hal Hart—after becoming gravely ill—was diagnosed with lung cancer. By 2011, the cancer had spread throughout his entire body. It was, he was told, inoperable. (Photo: Joe Ellis / The Clarion-Ledger / Gannett)

 
"I have never communed with God as much as I did then," recalled Hart.
 
Reports detailing Hart's subsequent journey say that his wife was an incredible shoulder of faith for him. As their family prayed, the Harts decided to reject chemotherapy and told one of his doctors that God was going to heal him. 
 
He did, however, agree to take a chemo alternative called Tarceva—a drug that, at best, only promised to postpone the inevitable. 
 
What happened as a result "astonished" his doctors. His oncologist, Dr. Tammy Young, said, "He [Hart] has a lung cancer that has a mutation that is very responsive to Tarceva …He took it for a few months and had a very good response from the treatment. Most patients don't have as spectacular a response as Hal has had. And, absolutely, the power of prayer is an important part of this picture."
 
Hal, who credits God solely with the miracle, is of course, elated.
 
"I give my pictures [scans] out every day to somebody," he said. "It's the X-ray that shows I am healed. I thank God for it every day. I wake up and do my prayers in the morning. My life has got to be up to par because God allowed me to get through this."
