TV Soap Legend Reveals Cancer Diagnosis
Eric Braeden, who has played ‘The Young and the Restless’ patriarch Victor Newman for more than four decades, has revealed he has cancer.
Deadline says that while recuperating from knee surgery, the actor “began to have problems” with his prostate. After seeing a few different doctors, he ultimately received a cancer diagnosis. He had surgery to remove cancer. A biopsy revealed he had both high-grade and low-grade cancer cells. He is continuing treatment for the high-grade cancer cells with a 6-week immunotherapy treatment plan. He will receive weekly infusions and has already received two.
He said, “I’m a little under the weather, but not really much. I’ve learned, now, to listen to my body more and not go all out.” Braeden added: “I’m gonna get it. And I’ll be in top form again soon.”
