Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Tumors Have Stopped Growing

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 was carrying a prayer for my daughter, who is battling an aggressive cancer. The diagnosis was so overwhelming. I felt helpless, and all I could do was pray. When I saw your service, I wrote out a prayer for her strength, for her doctors' wisdom, and for her peace. I sent it to you and held that photo you sent back for a long time.
Since then, something has shifted. The latest scans show her tumors have stopped growing. They are stable. The doctors are adjusting her treatment plan with new hope. She has more energy now, and her spirit is brighter. I don't know what the future holds, but for now, we have this moment of stillness and grace. Thank you for carrying our prayer when I felt I couldn't carry it alone. Thank you to your team.
In gratitude,
Send your own prayer in
