The fact that you are defending a rejection of a proven course of treatment shown to send the cancer into remission in three-fourths of the cases in order to pursue an untried and ultimately fatal regimen with no medical basis is sad.
The fact is, if you had the option, you would send your own child to his or her death in order to glorify your faith; that is the only logical extrapolation here.
Don't you get it. She died of a stroke, not leukemia. Chemo can cause strokes.

And she didn't have to either; the prognosis gave her a good chance of survival if she'd continued the treatment she was taken off of. Based on all the medical knowledge available, this was exactly the opposite of an appropriate decision.
How did going off the treatment cause her to have a stroke? Seems more likely that the chemo caused her to have a stroke. She didn't die from leukemia.
