Mladen "Dennis" Czund aka MD Czund was diagnosed in April 2025 with Stage 4 Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma located in his lymph nodes from his neck to his lower pelvis. The largest mass is in his stomach, which is causing difficulty with breathing, eating, and drinking. He has become very weak, needing to use a cane and a wheelchair. His daughter Lucette Czund Hagen has been assisting him during this difficult time. He has been working with a great team at Monmouth Medical Center to get a cure. He has been admitted to the hospital for constant monitoring while starting RCHOP chemotherapy. When his lymphoma shrinks in his stomach, the doctor is expecting it to perforate his stomach and emergency surgery will be needed.

He really loves his family and friends and can't wait to photograph everyone again.
