A Theology of Cancer

I was talking the other day to a survivor-friend's husband. I heard myself throw out the phrase, "theology of cancer." I think it is worth some further consideration...how do cancer and God fit together? How does He work within it? How can He be glorified through it? How exactly is He responsible for it and/or for healing it?

I have some thoughts about it all. And, I may even share some here. But, even as I write the questions, I think it might be more important to love the ones impacted by cancer. We'll always have speculations, never absolute answers anyway...but where there are people with cancer, love will always answer a multitude of needs.
