Good news for John Dunphy

Former Beacon Journal reporter John Dunphy has been successfully battling esophageal cancer since 2012.

So you can imagine the uneasiness when he had an endoscopy today because his PET scan showed a little thickening in what is left of his esophagus.

Reports wife Rebecca Allen:

“The doc says he found no cancer, just a bit of inflammation. He did a couple of biopsies but isn't concerned. So we have a lot to be thankful for tomorrow. Gobble, gobble!”

John is contributing editor at Southland Golf and a former editor for the Orange County Register in California. John is a Cincinnati Xavier University graduate from New York City.

Rebecca is deputy Features Editor at the OC Register. They live in Lakewood, California.
