In 2020, he was diagnosed with stage 4 papillary thyroid cancer, which initially receded after surgery and radiation, but returned with a vengeance, metastasizing to a form with an incurable diagnosis. He attended a healing Mass shortly after the return diagnosis. When he was prayed over by a priest he was healed. His own doctors cannot explain what happened. Shawn knows what happened, God happened. Through the power of prayer and faith, he was healed.
