Support Justin Severs' Fight Against Cancer

02/26/2026

Hey, everyone! Kelley here 👋🏻 with an update from Houston!!

Over the last 3 months, Justin has been doing amazing with his new cancer med. His first med came with some rough side effects that made daily life tough. He started the new med and, within a couple of weeks, he noticed huge improvements! Fast forward 3 months and we are back in Houston with some awesome updates 🤍

We just left his appointment and his doctor is very happy with his test results!! In the past, each scan showed how every cancerous spot was shrinking and we didn't really see that this time. Test results are showing everything is pretty much the same. I was questioning how it didn’t seem like anything shrunk, but he said it will get to a certain point where it won’t shrink anymore, so that might be the point that he’s at now. When that happens, it’s considered scar tissue. Nothing is spreading, so this could be the new norm going forward. He is getting another transfusion today for his rib (he fractured it approximately 6 months ago pushing a cart into a cart corral 🙄).
Blood work is good also. This new med was a game changer for sure and is working very well for Justin!

Thank you for all of the prayers!

📣Update from Houston🎗️

After meeting with his doctor, Justin has decided to switch to a new medication in hopes of reducing the ongoing side effects from his current one. His doctor is very positive about the new treatment and does not anticipate any issues with the transition.

Justin and Kelley will return to Houston for follow-up testing about three months after he begins the new medication, which should be soon.

The latest scan results continue to show encouraging progress, many areas have decreased in activity, and some were not even mentioned in the new report meaning the person reading the scan didn’t see activity.

Two spots showed a slight increase, but doctors believe this is related to inflammation from Justin’s existing shoulder injury and also discovered that the current rib pain he’s been having for a couple months is because he has a fractured rib, the same one that had previously received radiation. So, they scheduled him for an infusion today before they left in hopes to strengthen his bones.

They are currently on the airplane heading back home. Kelley is very impatient as Meg and Andrew had their baby!!! Welcome to the world, Grant McLeod Keller.

It’s Houston Week… and more! 💪✈️

On Tuesday, Justin and Kelley will fly down to Houston for Justin’s next checkup.

Wednesday will be a big day of testing, bloodwork to see how the cancer medication is affecting his organs, a CT scan of the brain to ensure the cancer hasn’t spread, and a PET scan to compare current results to previous ones.

On Thursday, they’ll meet with Justin’s doctor to review the results and talk about whether a change in medication might help reduce the side effects that continue to impact daily life. After that, they’ll fly home Thursday evening, hopefully returning to exciting news as Andrew and Meg are expecting their first baby, due Tuesday! 👶❤️

The week wraps up Friday as the Frankenmuth Eagles take on Richmond in Round 2 of the playoffs. 🦅🏈

Appreicate the prayers and positive thoughts, it’s a big week ahead! 🙏❤️

🧠 What is SUV?

SUV stands for Standardized Uptake Value — it measures how much radioactive glucose a spot in the body “lights up” on a PET scan.

🟡 Higher SUV = more activity, which could mean cancer.
🟢 Lower SUV = less activity, which often means healing or no cancer.

⸻

Bottom line:

The July scan shows continued positive momentum, no new significant disease, and major reductions in tumor size and metabolic activity since January. 🙏

Thank you all for your ongoing prayers, encouragement, and support. Justin is very grateful for all of you! 💙

Today we met with my doctor, Dr. Gibbons at MD Anderson, regarding my 2 months scans. Doctor Gibbons stated I had a lot of cancer in a lot of bad places in January… and in 2 months have made REMARKABLE progress! For example, one tumor went from 4.5cm to 2.5cm. Doctor Gibbons also said the radiation was successful on my rib!

Doctor Gibbons said while I have experienced a lot of the side effects with the meds he was VERY happy with the progress and used the words “amazing progress” several times! I guess the side effects are a small price to pay for the success the med has had!

We also learned the type of cancer I have his not genetic as in passed from family members, but it was created by my own genetic cells in my body and would not be something that will be transferred to the kids! THANK GOD 🙏

The next step will be to complete blood work while we continue to try to minimize the side effects of the cancer med. We will be returning to Houston in June to do more blood work, another PET CT Scan, and another MRI of the brain to make sure no cancer has went to my head, to verify the medicine is working!

I have to thank God for answering all our prayers 🙏 and ask for continued prayers as we continue to fight this monster!

Good morning ☀️

This morning Justin and I head to Houston for his first scan since starting his cancer medicine. I know everyone has been praying hard for us, but if you could pray a little extra over the next couple days, we would really appreciate it! 😘

Love you all! 🤍🤍
