I do not think that is actually possible. I thought you had to resolve any check before you started new stuff. Armor and some spells allow you to reduce damage. But healing such as cure is another spell that I would think would have to take place AFTER you take damage.
So you take damage from the hit from the monster and discard your hand as much as needed. If the only card you had was Cure I think you would have to discard it to complete the encounter. Now since you hand is empty you could not cast cure.
At least that is how I have been playing it. Otherwise Cure is one of the best damage reducing effects in the game even better then Half Plate or Arcane Armor spells.
The way you describe it was the way i was playing it until i started reading this thread.

If you get the time check it out. I'm wavering back and forth on this.
Cure doesn't reduce damage as in "reduce the damage you take." It heals you. I don't think you can play it because it just doesn't apply in this situation. You can play it before you Explore, after you move, after the encounter is over, before a second encounter, etc. But not in the middle of taking damage. Doesn't make sense.
