Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Sister's Tumors Have Shrunk

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 last month asking you to carry a prayer for my sister who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Her doctors were not hopeful. After you took our prayer to St. Peter's, we received the photograph of the card, and I placed it by her bedside. Her latest scans show that the tumors have shrunk significantly. She is able to eat again and has more energy. We don't know what the future holds, but this is more than we dared hope for. Thank you for carrying our prayer. Blessings to you and your team.
