Roxli Doss was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, an inoperable brain tumor that has no cure according to KVUE. It is the type of cancer that starts in the brain stem and spreads.

“[The type of cancer] is very rare, but when we see it, it is a devastating disease,” her doctor, Virginia Harrod with Dell Children’s Medical Center told KVUE. “You have decreased ability to swallow, sometimes vision loss, decreased ability to talk, eventually difficult with breathing.”

While there is no cure for this type of cancer and survival rates are low, Roxli still underwent radiation treatment in hopes of temporarily shrinking the tumor.

Roxli’s family also prayed without ceasing.

Then the family received some very unexpected news. During her next MRI scan, the tumor was gone.”

“When I first saw Roxli’s MRI scan, it was actually unbelievable,” Harrod said. “The tumor is undectable on the MRI scan, which is really unusual.

Doctors double checked the scan and still couldn’t find the tumor. They have no explanation for what happened, KVUE reports. They prayed for her healing everyday.

Roxli’s parents are crediting the miracle to God saying he healed her.

“Everyday we still say it,” said her mom, Gena Doss. “It’s kind of our family thing that God healed Roxli.”
