Carman Cancer Update: Doctors Find 'No Trace of Cancer' After Last Biopsy, He is Coming Home a Healed Man
Carman Licciardello is claiming to be cancer free after his last check up showed no signs of cancer cells in his bones.
The gospel singer started off his Facebook post with an update of how he was doing from the last time he messaged his fans.
"Well things are progressing unexpectedly well. I met with my Doctor on Tuesday for a routine check up and heard some great news. The last dose of Chemo (Melpholine) on Jan 16 was pretty brutal but within 10 days I was recovering much faster that I expected. The pneumonia virus I caught was intercepted by the nurses and doctors at the hospital and shut down before is could develop. Thank you JESUS. The doctor told me that he doubled the Stem cells given me the day after the jam 16 Melpholine from 4 to 5 million to 8 to 10 million. So when I came back, I came back strong. An extreme low to and unexpected high," he wrote today.
Already sounding positive enough, he then diagrammed his last check up with doctors, and proclaimed there was no trace of cancer!
"They took tests (and there will be more) P.E.T., MRI, Bone biopsies ect and could find NO trace of Cancer. That's amazing. We're talking about drilling into your bone to search for a cancer cell and coming up empty. And I can feel the difference too. My red blood count is climbing daily and so my cardio is steadily coming back to normal. I've actually got back on the treadmill and could breathe - I was so excited I did 3 miles walking uphill and jogging. I felt normal for the first time in 3 years. The great news is that I'm doing so well that they are cutting my treatments short by 6 weeks. So I'll be going home earlier than expected. I might even have a bit of hair to start the tour with," he posted.
Finally Carman concluded his major emotional update by giving information about his tour, and his plans once his hospital stay is over.
"I want to start posting news about the tour and the record and other good things but I needed to get this bit of news out first. You all have been the best friends, brothers sisters and prayer warriors I could ever hope for in this life. I want to thank you again. Finally, to quote the lyrics to the title song on my new CD 'The roads been a long one, It's always been a fight, but God had my back, deep into the night. He's been my Plan-A, now everyone can see, I'm livin for The Lord and there's No Plan-B' Can I get an Amen ?!?"
Continue to pray for Carman as his body is still going through a healing process. Carman has a lot of work still left do on this Earth whether its encouraging Christians or winning souls. Now he just has an awesome testimony story to add to his ministry.
