Actor Eric Braeden who stars as Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer.
The actor shared his story in a Facebook post on Friday, explaining that as he was recovering from knee surgery, he “began to have problems” with his prostate. In his message to fans, he also cautioned them to be conscious of their health.
“I hate to be so personal, but I think this may be good for some older guys who may or may not listen to this,” the 82-year-old soap star said. “It’ll happen to them.”
“Needless to say, I was taken aback, but I was determined to deal with it,” Braeden said.
After undergoing surgery to remove the cancer, he is receiving treatments that stimulate his immune system to fight the high-grade cancer cells. The routine causes flu-like symptoms and is part of a six-week plan.
