Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Sister's Tumors Have Shrunk Significantly

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 card for my sister who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. The doctors had given us little hope, but we kept praying. After your team carried our prayer to St. Peter's, her latest scans showed that the tumors have shrunk by more than half. She is breathing easier and has more energy. We don't know what the future holds, but this is more than we dared hope for. Thank you for helping us bring our prayers to such a holy place.
