Dolph Lundgren Shares Health Update, Reveals He’s ‘Finally Cancer Free’ After Terminal Diagnosis
Dolph Lundgren took to social media to share some great health news, revealing that he is now cancer-free after his initial diagnosis nine years ago.
What did Lundgren say in his statement?
In an Instagram video sent out on Thanksgiving, Lundgren revealed that he is now “finally cancer-free,” and grateful for a “bright future.” The legendary actor sent the video from UCLA, where he was getting his final treatment to “get rid of that last dead tumor.”
“Here I am at UCLA. [I’m] about to go in and get rid of that last dead tumor,” said Lundgren in the video. “Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, then I guess I’ll be cancer-free, so I’m looking forward to this procedure. It’s been a rough ride and really taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life. It’s the only way to go.”’
Lundgren revealed in 2023 that eight years prior, he had been diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2015. After surgery kept him symptom-free for five years, Lundgren was found to have additional tumors in his kidney and liver in 2020, and the actor was told that the cancer was terminal, and that he would only have 2-3 years left to live.
Despite the prognosis, Lundgren would go on to seek additional opinions from the UCLA Medical Center, and went through with a recently-developed medical treatment, which helped reduce the size of his tumors by 90%.
