Answered Prayers for Cancer
My Wife's 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 sent a prayer for my wife Lorna in late August, when the doctors said her cancer was aggressive and spreading. I asked your team to carry my prayer for her healing and for strength for our family. We received the photograph of the card in St. Peter's, and I placed it by her bedside. Last week, her new scans came back. The doctor said the tumors have stopped growing. It is a moment of grace we didn't expect. The battle isn't over, but this pause feels like a gift, a chance to breathe. Thank you for your faithfulness in carrying our prayer.
