Eric Braeden, 82, best known for his portrayal of mogul Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, shаrеd with his fans that he has been diagnosed with cancer recently.
He learned of the devastating diagnosis while recovering from a knee-replacement surgery.
As revealed in his 13-minute Facebook Live session on Friday, Braeden, who is one of the most famous actors in daytime television, experienced prostate issues which turned out to be cancer. “Whilst recuperating from the knee surgery, I began to have problems with my prostate,” he said. “I hate to be this personal, but I think this may be good for some older guys who may or may not listen to this. It’ll happen to them.”
Doctors were able to remove the cancer during a UroLift surgery, a treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and the German-born actor is now undergoing through a six-week immunotherapy plan.
