Dolph Lundgren has shared a hopeful update from hospital this week, revealing he is "cancer-free" following a nine-year battle.
The Rocky IV star, 67, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2015 when doctors found a tumor in his kidney.
He remained cancer-free for the following five years after it was removed, but the cancer returned in 2020.
The Swedish-born actor shared a video from his hospital bed this week, telling fans he was finally cancer-free again after his latest surgery.
He told his followers: "Here I am at UCLA, I’m about to go in and get rid of that last tumor.
"Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I’ll be cancer-free so I’m looking forward to this procedure."
Lundgren revealed he was having a lung ablation, a minimally invasive procedure that uses heating or cooling mechanisms to destroy tumor tissue, according to the Mayo Clinic.
He admitted: "It’s been a rough ride and really taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life. I mean, it’s the only way to go."
The actor added in the caption: "Health update - finally cancer free with gratefulness and excitement for a bright future. Thanks for all your support always."
Many of his friends and fans shared their well-wishes, with Chuck Norris writing: "Wonderful news! So happy to hear this, Dolph. God bless."
Sylvester Stallone added: "Hang tough brother," while Terry Crews posted a series of fire emojis.
On Wednesday, Lundgren added in his Instagram Story: "Thank you for all of your wonderful messages and supportive comments."
Nodding to his famous line in Rocky IV when he tells Stallone's character "I must break you," he added: "It’s gonna take a little more to break me."
The star was first diagnosed with cancer in 2015 after a tumor was found in his kidney, which was removed.
Lundgren revealed in an interview on In Depth With Graham Bensinger that a "few more tumors around the area" were found in 2020, six of which were removed but one the "size of a lemon" in his liver was unable to be operated on.
He told Fox News Digital in January of this year: "It wasn’t looking good. I mean, there was a doctor in London who basically told me you should stop working and spend more time with your family. Then I realized it was serious."
He later learned that the doctors were "giving me the wrong treatments because they hadn’t really checked on all the biopsies."
"I got a second opinion from a UCLA doctor, and she went back and looked at all the biopsies, and she said, ‘Well, you know, this is a different mutation than what they said,’” he revealed.
"They hadn’t checked it. They just assumed. As soon as I got the new medication, I started getting better. And that was all [2022].
"And then last year, I removed all those tumors. They freeze them out or use radiation. And then, you know, now I’m living a normal life, I would say.
"Except I gotta go and do a scan every three months. But everything else is kind of back to normal. So, it was scary and magical at the same time.”
We wish him all the best for his ongoing recovery.
