Answered Prayers for Cancer

My Father's Test Results Have Improved

Althea, Dubuque · August 2, 2025

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 had a card sent for my father who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the spring. It was a simple prayer, just asking for strength for him and for the doctors. I was so anxious all the time. After you carried the prayer in, he had his next round of scans. The doctor said the tumor has shrunk significantly, more than they expected. He is able to eat a little better now and has more energy. We are taking it one day at a time, but this news was a great relief. Thank you for your part in carrying our hope to St. Peter's.
