"The day we have been waiting for over 3 years has finally come!! John Oliver got his last IV chemo and got to ring the bell!! It was one of the best moments surrounded by family, friends, and staff. We were given even more great news that JO doesn't have to do his last 10 days of oral chemo pills and NO STEROIDS!!!!" Megan wrote.
Thankful for all the support the family received in their testing days, she added, "His surgery went well, and he is home resting because he is a little sore from the incision and stitches. We couldn't have made it through this journey without the support of EVERYONE.
Thank you, Dr. B and all the staff, at the Cleveland Clinic. Thank you to our family, and all of our friends and supporters! We love you all and we will likely be having a big party in the summer to celebrate...hope to see you all there!! #JOstrong
