With Gratitude, Matt
Pregnant with Cancer, How Faith and Prayer are Lighting the Way, with Jessica Hanna
Show Notes

Jessica Hanna has a faith that is truly inspiring. It’s this faith that has guided her and given her the strength to overcome many hurdles including a breast cancer diagnosis in 2020 right after learning she was pregnant with her 4th child. While she sought out and has been working with dedicated and talented physicians, it was her decision to truly be an advocate for her own health, which included doing research, getting 2nd opinions and ultimately trusting her heart and God, that led to the successful birth of her son. She is now helping others with her story who face cancer and pregnancy as well as just providing hope and a lift to anyone who might need it. Hope for Two is a network for women pregnant with cancer she recommends along with intentional prayer. It was through intentional prayer and community support that she battled a 13cm tumor and 41 positive lymph nodes which doctors assumed to be stage 4. Miraculously, after the birth of her son, her scans for metastasis were clear. Prayer also connected her to other sources of healing that have blessed her journey. Jessica and Matt will touch on the life of the Blessed Fr Solanus Casey, the healing she personally experienced and her efforts to help him be canonized. For more information about Bl. Fr. Solanus, check out his bio here  and to pray for his cananization, go here. Lastly, for more about Jessica and her story, you can follow her on Instagram @Blessed_by_Cancer. From Sept 6-15, Jessica’s page will feature a Novena for Matt Moran. Please join us in praying for Matt over these 9 days leading up to his scans on Sept 15. We hope you enjoy this special episode with Jessica. Her story, her energy, and her desire to help others are amazing gifts!
