Dave recently had a biopsy on a lymph node in his neck. “Melissa and I waited for a week to get the biopsy results back, and there is no sign of cancer,” he explains in an interview with Parade. “One of the few times in my life when ‘zero’ has been a great number to hear.”
At the time of that interview, he was still awaiting the results of an additional CAT scan. This will determine if his cancer “will be in the rear-view mirror,” he says.

Dave is Also a New Grandfather
Dave has a lot to celebrate, as he also just become a grandfather. His son Luc welcomed a baby boy on March 27th.
Although Dave's cancer journey has not been easy, he has been able to use his humor to keep his spirits up. He has also been able to pull inspiration from family members. The actor lost his mom and sister Sharon to breast cancer as well as losing his niece, who was 29 at the time. His older sister Karen is also going through cancer.
"I saw what those women in my family went through, and I thought to myself, ‘If I can be just 1/10th of a percent as strong as they were, then I'm going to be just fine,' " Dave shared. Dave also has the support of his wife Melissa.
We will keep Dave in our prayers and celebrate his cancer-free news. May God continue to walk alongside him through this journey.
