With medical staff dancing right along side him, Tim Grimes posted a happy dance on Facebook that has been seen thousands of times.

"This is my "18 months ago, I was told I'd be dead by now...But, today i found out all my tumors have shrunk in half" dance," he wrote on Facebook earlier this week.

We first met Grimes in September 2014 soon after his bleak diagnosis for stage 4 melanoma.

"It's very hard to hear that you're dying. It's almost surreal," he said then. 

With the help of friends, #RoyalsWinForTim started trending for the huge Royals fan who got to see not only one World Series run but two and even a World Series championship.

Now, weeks before opening day for the 2016 season, Tim Grimes is not only #stillhere but he says he's #NotGoingAnywhere.
