Detective Michael Dunn, a dedicated 16-year veteran of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and esteemed member of the LVMPD Honor Guard, began facing a significant health challenge in late 2022 with the onset of severe stomach pains. These pains led to the discovery of a large, unidentified mass in his stomach after a visit to the emergency room post-Thanksgiving. This discovery necessitated immediate surgery and intensive care, revealing a rare type of cancerous tumor.
Despite an initial successful surgery to remove the mass and months of recovery, a follow-up PET scan in November 2023 showed new growth in his liver, which was diagnosed as malignant liver cancer. Due to the rarity and complexity of his cancer, standard treatments are not viable. Michael is now under the care of the Cancer Center of Nevada, receiving innovative treatments, including oral chemotherapy and nutritional infusions.
This fundraiser supports Detective Dunn in his courageous battle against cancer, helping to cover medical expenses and care needs as he embarks on this challenging journey toward recovery.
Your support can make a significant difference in his fight for a cancer-free future.
