So far Mjolnir is doing the opposite and is making her cancer worse because it's exhausting her. I'm sure they have other story plans in the works for that. My concern is more towards she dies because of the cancer to cause grief on Thor to then make him worthy again. Which will make her entire arc and death about him instead of about her as a character and her own growth. That would be a horrible way to end it though, but Marvel has been known for turns like that. We're talking about a literary universe though where every facet is writer controlled for the purpose of the arc they are writing. But no, I don't think they'll go the 'magical cure' route. The title has been pretty adamant that she's refusing that, even from Mjolnir itself. If she beats the cancer, it'll be by human medicine. As a medical worker herself, that fits her personality they've used in the comics.

Adding on to that:

If she dies of cancer, the question will be if Odinson finds out she's the new Thor or not, or if someone else wields the Hammer in her stead so he doesn't find out until much later when he finds out she's in Valhalla. Due to her time as Thor, I could see her going to Valhalla instead of the human heaven. This leading her to become a valkyrie or another asgardian type hero down the line so she ends up ruling alongside Odinson as the Queen. It's either that, or she dies from the cancer, he finds out she was thor, regains the hammer, seeks her out in valhalla to ask why, which then leads to her becoming the queen. And they both maintain the thor identity as a thunder family. The only other story option that I see they might take is when Jane dies, she becomes the new Hela for the angst angle, but the other two options fit Marvel's pattern and seem more likely. Depending on what was said to Thor, I highly doubt he's going to pick up the hammer again anytime soon at all. With something of this magnitude of a change, it's gotta be something pretty dark and not a simple infidelity type reason.

At least those are the three directions I see Marvel going.

They don't use common sense when it comes to saving.

You're forgetting that hasbro has shown an aptitude to repack older figures if it fits the line. The only new mold characters that have been made are ones that hadn't had a figure before. Even then, they've still re-used parts as Doc Ock shows and Vulture among others. It's the new parts that have the limited articulation. Plus the Avengers Assemble modern Hawkeye does already have the limited articulation that the current figures have.
