Awesome news! Here’s hoping he keeps getting clean reports for years to come.

Great! I wonder if he'll have to do this every 6 months or so for a few years.

He has been doing regular scans in the past, and given how many times it's come back at this point I'd imagine he'll be getting regular cancer scans for the rest of his life.

Good idea. I also think there should be a Casey trophy. No idea what it would be based on, but I think Casey needs to be connected to the U and his fight forever.
