Johnny’s Story

Site created on August 25, 2023

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement.

Thank you for praying with John on this journey. John was officially diagnosed with Lymphocyte Rich Classic Hodgkin’s Lymphoma on 7/26/23 after first noticing a swollen lymph node in his neck in April 2023. We’ve already seen God’s hand at work in the doctors He’s placed in our path, support from our family, friends, coworkers and church. All leading and guiding us to where we are today. John had his port placed 8/24/23 and is now gearing up to begin chemo in September 2023. They’re predicting he will need 4 rounds of chemo - Each round lasting 28 days and consists of 2 treatments per round (1 every 2 weeks). We will post updates as we learn more and appreciate the outpouring of love, prayers and support from everyone.

John’s motto through this all is “God’s goodness is not dependent on my circumstances”. A good reminder when we face trials in our lives! God is faithful always ❤️

Journal entry by Robin Kluever

John is considered in “complete remission”. This is what they will call it for clear scans over the next 5 years. He now will have bloodwork and a doc appointment every 3 months. With a PET scan every 6 months. This will go on for the next 2 years. Then years 3-5 he will have bloodwork and a doc appointment every 6 months with a PET once per year. After 5 years of clear scans and good bloodwork he’s deemed “cured” from the cancer. 
Steve and I are honored to write this last post about this journey we, as a family, have traveled with our son and daughter in love. What a wonderful family night it was to celebrate and thank God for all he has done!
We are in awe at the goodness of God and His faithfulness… in good times and bad. We are thankful for remission, for the prayers that were prayed faithfully and…for Johnny and Brittany who stayed strong and kept their faith in their Savior all along the journey. We are proud of their stand for Jesus and the strength God has given Johnny and the unwavering support from a wife that has been strong and supportive every day! 
As Johnny says,  “God’s goodness is not dependent on my circumstances”.  God is always good. If full remission was not the diagnosis today, He is still good. The grace and mercies of God never end. 
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 
Philippians 4:6-7
