The Young and the Restless Star Eric Braeden Diagnosed with Cancer

"Young and the Restless" star Eric Braeden revealed that he's currently undergoing treatment for cancer and has a message for other men in the wake of his diagnosis. The 82-year-old opened up about his health journey over the past few months, starting with his recovery from knee replacement surgery. He explained that he had problems with his prostate and had to undergo a procedure called a UroLift. After one night of difficulty urinating, Braeden said he went straight to a nearby hospital and was "serendipitously" met with a doctor who was a pioneer in the UroLift. The doctor then proposed they do the UroLift and, while undergoing the procedure, he would remove the cancer. Braeden said he is still able to work and added, with tears welling in his eyes, that he appreciates the support he's received from fans.
