Longtime Young & the Restless star Eric Braeden said Friday afternoon in a video to his fans that he was recently diagnosed with cancer, but that he has been able to continue working on the CBS soap on which he’s starred since 1980.
Braeden posted the video on Facebook revealing the health scare, saying the diagnosis came after problems with his bladder and urination that worsened during his recovery from a recent knee-replacement surgery.
He said he wanted to be open about the diagnosis because “I think this may be good for some older guys who may, or may not, listen to this.” Braeden said he was diagnosed by a urologist at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
