Eric Braeden celebrates being cancer-free
Eric Braeden is finally cancer-free.
The Young and the Restless star, 82, who played the role of Victor Newman on the soap opera for over four decades shared the news with his followers on Facebook Live on Sunday.
He said in the video,
“As of three days ago, I am cancer-free,”
The German actor who first revealed his diagnosis in April also thanked his fans saying,
“I thank you for all of your good thoughts, all of your prayers,” he said, adding that they “meant a great deal to me.”
He continued,
“I can tell you it obviously has helped because I had my last cystoscopy two days ago — that’s when they thread a camera into your bladder — and I am cancer-free.”
“They couldn’t find a damn thing,”
“Isn’t that nice?”
Eric further said that just because his bladder is free of cancer cells does not mean that it is all over.
The actor said that he is still waiting on the MRI results which will then confirm whether his cancer has spread from his bladder. If the results bring good news, he revealed that he still has to undergo various prophylactic infusions.
Braeden added in the video, “That makes me happy.”
He said later in the video that getting old is great.
He said,
“I love life, man. Why wouldn’t I?”
“I’m working on the No. 1 show. It has been No. 1 for 38 years now. Why would I complain? That would be obscene.”

What did Eric Braeden have to say about his cancer?
In May, Eric got candid about his cancer diagnosis which he had revealed just one month before that. He told People why he wanted to share it,
“I decided to go public with it because I can help people not to be so fearful of it,”
He said that he also hoped his diagnosis would serve as a reminder for men to “have this damn thing checked out.”
The actor explained,
“The first indications are difficulty to urinate or to empty your bladder completely, and that increases as the prostate grows,”
“It impinges on the urethra, and as it grows more, it impinges more. Hence, the flow is restricted.”
Eric Braeden continued,
“It gets to the point where you wake up every half hour not to pee, because you can’t get rid of it. That’s as graphic and as simple as it gets.”
At first, he received a misdiagnosis and then a urologist confirmed that Braeden was suffering from stage 1 cancer but the actor said he wasn’t that worried when he got the news.
He admitted,
“I knew I was going to meet it head-on,”
