Answered Prayers for Cancer

Improvement After Brain Tumor Diagnosis

Anya, Bend · November 3, 2024

This is the sender’s own account, sent to us after their prayer was carried in. It is not a promise that the same will happen for anyone else.

Dear Fr. Marco, I wanted to write to thank you and your team for carrying my prayer for my husband in St. Peter's. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier this year and everything felt so heavy. I sent the prayer card asking for strength for him and peace for our family. Since the day I received the photograph from you showing the card in the Basilica, I have felt a small but steady sense of calm. My husband's headaches have lessened in the last few weeks, and his last scan showed the tumor has not grown. We are taking each day as it comes, but this stability feels like a great gift. Thank you for this quiet service. It was a comfort.
