I talked to Dean’s brother, Freddie, last week. (“Little” Freddie, as I always called him, is now about 38, and has 3 sons: Jason, 17; Justin, 15; Jeremy, 12. He is a law enforcement officer in Yukon, Okla. But he will always be “Little Freddie – Age 10” in my memory!!) Dean is feeling better right now, and, experiencing ‘cabin fever’ from being cooped up so much, loaded his family in the car and drove from Jenks (Tulsa suburb) to Yukon (Oklahoma City suburb) to visit Freddie & his family on November 30.
He has a rare cancer that attacks only the fat cells in the body. Dean is a body builder and essentially has no fat — except at his lower buttocks where the cancer is lodged, encircling certain spine and leg nerves,etc. Good news is the cancer has shrunk from chemo and radiation treatments. Bad news is it has shrunk only from the inside, making it smaller, but it still has not gotten smaller ‘on the outside’, shrinking away from the nerves and whatever else it is wrapped around so they can operate and take it out. He is taking another chemo & radiation series of treatments right now hoping to shrink the outside. Dean’s 2nd wife, Dianna, is still controlling the phone, making it virtually impossible to contact him that way. Fred still has not been able to call thru to him. I have tried several times myself with no luck. Mail is reaching him. His address is:
Dean Munier 10920 S. Elgin Ave. Jenks, Oklahoma 74037
