“Thank you God for continuing to answer Prayers and Thank you ALL for Praying. I spoke with Dr St John at UCLA Medical and she has informed me that all test have come back 100!% clean.

That’s obviously great news for Irvin, as he has a family history with throat cancer. When he announced earlier in the week that that he had to undergo testing, Irvin revealed that his father died of throat cancer at age 51, which is why he said he was “terrified” about the same happening to him.

The positive update was refreshing news, and hopefully the same remains true for Irvin going forward.
