Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Sister's Recovery After Surgery

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 a few months ago asking for prayers for my sister, Miriam. She had just received a difficult cancer diagnosis and was facing surgery. I sent the prayer through your service, asking for strength for her and for the hands of her surgeons. I wanted you to know that her operation went as well as could be hoped. The doctors were able to remove all of the tumor they could see. Her recovery in the weeks since has been steady. She is getting her strength back day by day. It has been a hard road, but we feel supported. Thank you for carrying our prayer to St. Peter's. It was a comfort to us both to know it was there. Yours sincerely,
