You never quite know what is going on in the life of a celebrity. This was recently seen with Eric Braden, a star on Young and the Restless.

In a heartfelt Facebook video, Braden, who plays Victor Newman on the popular soap opera, candidly shared his recent medical journey. While many expected him to talk about his knee surgery, Braden surprised everyone by revealing that he had just undergone a prostate examination.

Now, you might be wondering why Braden decided to share such personal news. Well, as he put it, he believes it’s important for older men to hear his story because, sooner or later, it might happen to them too.

During his examination, Braden had a catheter inserted by a urologist, only to discover three days later that he had cancer. Fortunately, he underwent surgery and the cancer was successfully removed. However, his doctor informed him that the cancer wasn’t as simple as initially thought – there were some high-grade cancer cells involved.

As part of his ongoing treatment, Braden now receives weekly injections. But despite the challenges he faces, he remains optimistic and confident that he will beat this disease. In fact, he plans to continue acting on the Young and the Restless while undergoing cancer treatment, as he finds solace in the distraction that work provides.

Braden’s story serves as a wake-up call for all older men out there. He advises us to listen to our bodies and not push ourselves too hard, especially when it comes to exercise. It’s crucial to be aware of our limitations and make adjustments accordingly. After all, taking care of our well-being should always be a top priority.

Let Eric Braden’s experience be a reminder that age is just a number, and with the right attitude, we can tackle any obstacles that come our way. Stay positive, stay vigilant, and remember to prioritize your health.
