The Young & the Restless star Eric Braeden says he is cancer-free.
In a video on Facebook Live, Braeden thanked fans for supporting him along his journey.
"The reason I want to talk to you tonight is I want to tell you I'm grateful [for] all of your good thoughts and your prayers," he said. "It's meant a great deal to me, and 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'm cancer-free. They couldn't find a damn thing. Isn't that nice?"
Braeden originally announced his cancer diagnosis in April. The actor had surgery and underwent immunotherapy for both low-grade and high-grade cancerous cells found near his bladder.
On Sunday, Braeden said he will receive additional treatment because of the high-grade cancer cells.The actor will undergo three prophylactic infusions to treat his bladder with "some stuff that apparently kills the cancer" and is waiting for the results of a recent MRI that will show if the cancer has spread.
"And then I should be free for a while," he said. "Every so often, every few months I'll have another cystoscopy, all to find the damn thing early and to fight it. To hell with it."
