Soap legend Eric Braeden is feeling “grateful” as he shares a positive health update after being cancer-free for six months. The Young and the Restless star spoke with Entertainment Tonight following the daytime soap’s recent four-season renewal, where he opened up about his health status. “My cancer diagnosis right now is on hold, as it were, and [I’m] very grateful for very good doctors and very good modern cancer treatment, which has improved enormously,” Braeden shared. The Daytime Emmy-winning actor revealed he was cancer-free last August, four months after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. At the time, Braeden told fans that doctors performed a cystoscopy and “couldn’t find a damn thing.” In his interview with Et, Braeden urged people to get checked out for the sake of their health. “People shouldn’t be afraid of it, you know. Just go and have your cystoscopy, have your colonoscopy, have your heart checked out.
