Eric Braeden, "The Young and the Restless" star, announces cancer diagnosis

Eric Braeden, the actor best known for his role as Victor Newman on "The Young and the Restless," was recently diagnosed with cancer and is now undergoing treatment. Braeden announced the diagnosis in a video posted to Facebook on Friday.

The actor, 82, said he was receiving immunotherapy for both low-grade and high-grade cancerous cells found near his bladder. Doctors discovered the cells while treating symptoms of a prostate issue that started several months ago, when Braeden was recovering from a knee-replacement surgery, he explained.

"I hate to be this personal, but I think this may be good for some older guys who may or may not listen to this," Braeden said.
