The above is not a "miracle" recovery. She was treated medically, and responded well. Don't confuse that with people who go into remission without treatment. I agree with you that there is a point at which individuals and families have to consider the balance between invasive treatment with small chance of success against accepting death and having a better quality of life during those months. But for most people, as long as those chances are even in the single digits, they're going to try for the treatment.
