Denise’s original diagnosis came while she and Alan were celebrating their anniversary in Florida. Speaking to Coping magazine, she recalled the life-altering moment she received the call confirming she had squamous cell carcinoma:
“To say that it was the shock of my life is an understatement. I eat a healthy diet. I exercise. I never dreamed that a doctor would tell me that I had cancer.”
Alan, equally stunned, stood by her side through every step. He later wrote the emotional ballad “When I Saw You Leaving” to express the fear and love he experienced while watching his wife fight for her life.
“It was the first time I truly lived out the vow, for better or for worse,” Alan said. “It made me realize how vital it is to have someone walk with you through something so dark.”
Denise underwent two months of radiation and chemotherapy before being declared cancer-free, a moment both she and Alan described as nothing short of a miracle. In her own words:
“I never thought I would call myself a cancer survivor. But I believe I was allowed to go through this to help others—to encourage those walking the same path.”
While no official confirmation has been made regarding the current reports, the renewed concern has brought an outpouring of prayers and well wishes from fans around the world, many of whom view Alan and Denise as a shining example of strength, love, and unwavering faith.
