Until When to Pray for a Patient Who Has Recovered
Question
My daughter was diagnosed with the illness last Sivan. Thank God, after many prayers and chemotherapy, the illness passed at the end of Tishrei. She is now under observation. People ask me: Do we still need to pray for her?
Answer
Hello
If according to medical opinion she is completely healthy, there is no need to pray specifically.
If she is still considered at risk, ask for prayers in the blessing 'Shma Koleinu', so that the illness does not, God forbid, return.
