My mother's chemotherapy went much better than expected

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 prayer for my mother through your service a few months ago. She was about to begin a very strong course of chemotherapy and we were all afraid of how she would handle it. The doctors prepared us for a difficult time. After I received the photo of the card in St. Peter's, I felt a sense of peace. Her treatments have been hard, but she has been stronger than anyone predicted. The side effects have been manageable, and her spirit is good. We don't know what the future holds, but we are taking things one day at a time. Thank you to you and your team for carrying our prayer.
