Eric Braeden revealed the health scare in a Facebook video, saying the diagnosis came after problems with his bladder and urination worsened during his recovery from recent knee replacement surgery.
He explained that he wanted to be open about his diagnosis because “I think this may be good for some older guys who may, or may not, listen to this.” “I’ve learned now to listen to my body more, and not go all out,” he said, adding that he still works out but on a modified basis. “
So if you’ve seen me a little under the weather, yeah, I have been, but I will lick this. This bastard aint going to get me, I’m going to get it.”
