Does God allow disease because of sin?

Later she went back to the doctors and they said that she was misdiagnosed.

What I wonder about is does God allow people to have disease because of sin or in this case the ladies attitude toward her husband?

I believe that they believe that they misdiagnosed the 2 terminal diseases. But I also know that God works in ways that are way above you and me. It IS possible that they did not misdiagnose, and that God stepped in and took care of the problem, isn't it??
