Eric Braeden says he went public with his cancer diagnosis to encourage men not to fear having their prostate and bladder examined.
"I was misdiagnosed at first, and it led to another one, and they said, 'You have cancer,'" he said."Not good. The word 'cancer' is scary, but I try to be a good role model."
A daytime television fixture as Victor Newman on the iconic soap opera for more than four decades, Braeden is now in the middle of six weeks of immunotherapy treatments. He is continuing to work on"The Young and the Restless" during his treatment.He is hoping that by sharing his story, he can remove some of the stigma and embarrassment about prostate and bladder issues.
"I just want men to know not to be scared of that," he said."I want them to know to have your prostate examined, have your bladder examined, have your colon examined. Just acquaint yourself with it and be open about it, so that way you take the fear out of people.Eric Braeden, shown on "The Young and the Restless," said his cancer was initially misdiagnosed.
He said he had surgery to remove the cancer, but a follow-up biopsy revealed he still had some cancer cells that needed to be treated. “I will lick this,” he said in the video. “This pass at it ain’t gonna get me. I’m gonna get it, alright? And I’ll be in top form again soon.”Scott Stump is a staff reporter and the writer of the daily newsletter This is TODAY.
