Brain tumor of baby shrinks after kiss of Pope Francis
During his visit to the United States, Pope Francis kissed a small, sick girl on the head. Now, two months later, it is reported that her brain tumor has shrunk. The parents of one-year-olds speak of a miracle. In some types of cancer, tumor regression without treatment is not so rare.
Parents believe in a miracle
When Pope Francis visited the United States two months ago, he kissed the one-year-old Gianna on his appearance in Philadelphia, as various media report. At that time, the girl's parents barely had hope for her daughter because she was suffering from an incurable brain tumor that could not be removed by surgery. However, an MRI check now showed that the girl's tumor had shrunk so much that it is barely visible. According to the information, the health of the baby has improved significantly. Little Gianna begins to show things she has not done before, said the overjoyed mother. The parents speak of a miracle cure.
