«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.
