The 82-year-old actor, best known for playing businessman Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, announced to his fans that he has received a cancer diagnosis.
While convalescing from knee replacement surgery, he received the heartbreaking diagnosis.
One of the most well-known actors in daytime television, Braeden, disclosed in a 13-minute Facebook Live session on Friday that he had prostate problems that later proved to be cancer. “I started having issues with my prostate while I was healing from the knee surgery,” he stated. “I apologize for being so direct, but I believe some older guys who might or might not listen to this could benefit from this. It will occur to them.
Following a successful UroLift surgery—a therapeutic option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—doctors were able to remove the malignancy. The actor, who was born in Germany, is currently undergoing a six-week immunotherapy regimen.
He said, “I’m feeling a little under the weather, but not really much.” “I’ve learnt to not push myself too hard and to pay more attention to my body. I will understand. And I’ll soon be back to my best.
“I’m going to lick this,” Braeden said. “I’m going to get it; this bastard isn’t going to get me.”
Regarding his almost 40-year tenure on The Young and the Restless, Braeden stated it’s what keeps him going. That’s where I am at the moment, he remarked. “I enjoy entertaining people by acting. I appreciate your help. Thus, offer your support to any family member who experiences this. It might succeed. You can survive cancer these days because to the tremendous advancements in cancer treatment.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Braeden revealed that performing helps him forget about his health problems and that he feels content when he knows he entertains others.
His character was originally intended to be a guest character on the show for eight to twelve weeks, but he has developed into the main male character in the soap opera.
We hope Eric Braeden gets over his health problems and wish him all the best that life has to offer.

Firefighters caution the public about the dangers of leaving water bottles inside cars
High temperatures can greatly influence our daily routines. Extended exposure to extreme heat poses a well-known risk of heatstroke, making it essential to limit time spent in direct sunlight. Staying hydrated and avoiding strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day is vital for health and safety.
In addition to heat-related health risks, hot weather conditions, combined with strong winds and low humidity, create ideal scenarios for fires to start. One often-overlooked fire hazard is leaving water bottles inside vehicles during extreme heat. Clear bottles can act like magnifying glasses, concentrating sunlight and generating focused beams of light.
When light passes through a transparent or semi-transparent bottle, it can create a concentrated heat point. This intense heat can ignite nearby flammable items, such as paper or clothing, leading to a fire in just minutes. This is why fire safety officials advise against leaving water bottles in cars.
In July 2017, Dioni Amuchastegui, a battery technician at Idaho Power, experienced this firsthand when he noticed smoke rising from his truck’s center console during his lunch break. At first, he thought it was just dust. However, he soon realized that sunlight was bending through a water bottle, causing smoke to form.
Acting swiftly, he removed the bottle and averted a potential fire. Amuchastegui later shared his experience with coworkers, which inspired the creation of an awareness video highlighting the dangers of leaving water bottles in vehicles during hot weather.
