He revealed that his kidney function is now “even better,” and that it has improved since last year. Declaring himself cancer-free, he added, “I am six years cancer-free, and I could not be more grateful.”
The update comes a few days after Mathison’s “six-year cancer check-up day.” He shared a picture on Instagram from the hospital and wrote in the caption, “Blood work, CT scan, X-rays. Grateful to be here. I’ll keep you posted.” After receiving numerous questions about his checkup results, he reassured fans in the latest video that all is well, with many commenting to express their relief over his health condition.
Earlier, Mathison had shared what it was like to learn about the shocking news of cancer via the Patient Resource website. “In my heart, I’d known something was wrong, but actually hearing the diagnosis was bizarre. It felt like a dream that seemed so real, but one I wanted to wake up from,” he said.
