Wayne Dawson has been fighting oral cancer since 2024. He's been sharing updates since he was diagnosed, and FOX 8 News has followed his surgery and treatment.
According to the video, Wayne had a PET scan earlier this week and is still waiting on the results.
'So you can imagine the emotional rollercoaster that's going on inside me right now, not knowing what the future holds,' he said. 'But I'm holding onto God's unchanging hand. I know that whatever happens, he is in control.'
According to Wayne, he assumes he will find out the results of the PET scan early next week.

'Keep me in prayer. Prayers that the PET scan will come back negative, no evidence of cancer,' he asked in the video. 'But I understand that God is in control.'
He said that although the fight continues and he is going through emotional ups and downs, 'I'm going to win the fight, no doubt about that.'
'Thank you so much for your support, it is much appreciated. You guys give me the strength to keep on going,' he said.
