Precisely. She just thought that the chemotherapy was hurting her, which isn't something I blame her for; it's a nasty treatment that leaves you feeling miserable, and if I was that young I'm sure I'd be looking at the side effects and coming to that conclusion too. The problem is that her mistaken conclusions were enabled by her parents, who apparently think that their alternative medicine was better and the chemo was harmful, because some people just want the miracle cure without any side effects no matter if it actually works, over having to deal with the nuanced, hard answer that real medicine is sometimes restricted to providing. So they fell for the pseudoscience because of their ignorance, and they dragged their child along with them, and now that child is dead and all the kind christians can do is try and spin this utter tragedy into some kind of win for their side.
