« Rocky IV » star Dolph Lundgren shared that he is cancer-free after nine years of treatment and surgery, including being given only two years to live at one point.
« Rocky IV » star Dolph Lundgren is celebrating his health this holiday season.
The Swedish-born actor posted an update from his hospital bed before surgery earlier this week, announcing he is « finally cancer free with gratefulness and excitement for a bright future. »
In the video, Lundgren said, « Here I am at UCLA, I’m about to go in and get rid of that last tumor. Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I’ll be cancer-free so I’m looking forward to this procedure. »
He explained he was undergoing a lung ablation, a minimally invasive procedure that uses heating or cooling mechanisms to destroy tumor tissue, per the Mayo Clinic.
« It’s been a rough ride and really taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life. I mean, it’s the only way to go », Lundgren said before signing off to head into surgery.
