“Things have changed for me a lot since I started praying the rosary.” Those are the exact words of Tammy Peterson—advocate, podcaster and wife of world renowned psychologist Jordan Peterson.
Tammy battled and survived a rare kidney cancer that was 100% fatal. While in the hospital, her friend gifted her a rosary blessed by the Pope, which changed her perspective on life.

She would tell me the story of each mystery and then ask what intention I wanted, if I wanted to pray for anyone.
The prayers helped me get through excruciating scans. I wouldn't really even notice the pain that I was in as long as I prayed without fail.
Her rosary testimony is explained in this YouTube video by True Faith TV that has received over 2 million views within 2 weeks.
The couple's journey has garnered popularity around the world, especially Tammy's newfound hope in the Catholic faith.

Likely what she has discovered more particularly as a consequence of moving in the Catholic direction is that she has discovered the identity between Christ and the truth.
But the rosary wasn't the only aspect of Catholicism that helped lead her to the faith. She also has a devotion to St. Josemaría Escrivá. Just five days into praying his novena for the sick, a hole in her lymph system that she was receiving treatment for healed itself.

She's also, as far as we know, the only person to ever survive this cancer.
Tammy Peterson will become a member of the Catholic Church at Easter. She says that prayer, faith and the rosary are a practice and that the things we practice are all we are left with when challenges arise.
