Dear Brother Jeffrey,

I visited the Shrine on my birthday on August 8 and asked for a petition for good results for a surgical procedure I was to have in two days… I had advanced uterine cancer and needed a hysterectomy.

I waited an agonizing three weeks after the hysterectomy to get the final results of the pathology report, and much to my relief the doctor said I had a rare type of tumor that had not invaded any of my vital areas… God heard my prayers through the Blessed Mother for a complete cure of cancer.

I wanted to write and add to the testimony of Our Lady’s intercession in helping me through this trying time and I will continue to pray to her. She is so powerful and compassionate.
