Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Sister's Cancer Has Stopped Spreading

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 wrote to you just before Christmas asking you to carry a prayer for my sister, Carlene. She had been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and the doctors were very worried. I sent the prayer to your team and you sent me the photograph from St. Peter's. Since then, we have had some hopeful news. The last round of tests showed that the cancer has stopped spreading. The doctors say they are cautiously optimistic. It feels like a great weight has been lifted. Thank you for taking our prayer to that sacred place. Yours gratefully, Alma
