"As Jesus went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?'
'Neither this man nor his parents sinned," Jesus said, 'but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in him life.'" - John 9:1-3
Like the disciples, we like to ask questions don't we, especially when it comes to why certain things happen to certain people and not others. For some reason. we feel that everything in life should make complete sense and that there should be a logical, rational explanation for why we experience the things we do.
Maybe you have realized like I'm just starting to and that's that answering these tough "why" questions can be extremely difficult and most times impossible. I think this is why we should take great comfort in John 9:3. While a person can never know this side of heaven why they get cancer or even if they will survive it, we can be sure that through all struggles (and even the fun times too) God wants to display his work and power it our lives. Are you letting him?
