Tumor Shrinking After Surgery and Treatment

Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote asking you to carry a prayer for my healing from pancreatic cancer. The diagnosis came as such a shock last winter. I sent the prayer to your team in early May, just before I was scheduled for my first major round of chemotherapy after surgery. It gave me a strange and quiet comfort to know that my simple words were there, in that holy place, while I went through it all. Last week, my doctor reviewed my latest scans. He said the tumor markers are down significantly and the remaining tissue has continued to shrink. The treatment is working better than they had initially hoped. There is a long road ahead, but this news was the first real light we've seen. Thank you for providing this quiet service. It felt like a hand on my shoulder when I needed it most.
