Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Husband's Tumors Are Shrinking

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 sent a card for my husband, Peter, who was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer earlier this year. I asked for the intercession of St. Peregrine and for strength for our family. We were so weary. I entrusted the prayer to your team, and the photograph arrived when we were at a very low point.
Since then, things have begun to shift. After the latest round of treatments, the oncologist told us the scans show the tumors are shrinking. It is a small but definite change in the right direction. His pain is more manageable, and we have found moments of peace we did not think were possible. We are taking it one day at a time, but we are grateful for this progress.
Thank you for carrying our petition. It felt like we were not alone in our waiting.
With thanks,
