00:00Dolph Lundgren, 67, says he's back to normal after tough cancer battle. It feels good.
00:07Dolph Lundgren, 67, has shared a health update after years battling kidney cancer,
00:12appearing cancer-free at the BAFTA TV Tea Party in Los Angeles on September 13th.
00:17N.E.D., they call it. No evidence of disease, Lundgren shared, reflecting on his five-year
00:23cancer battle. He's adjusted his lifestyle, saying,
00:26I don't stay out as late. I don't work out as hard, but I do hit the gym. I'm just a little
00:31kinder to myself physically. His health scare has given him a new perspective on life.
00:36Lundgren is now more grateful for everything he has and focuses on cherishing moments with loved ones,
00:41such as his wife, Emma, and daughters, Ida and Greta. This eye-opening experience, he admits,
00:47might have prevented him from taking reckless risks. As OK previously reported, Lundgren first
00:53revealed his diagnosis in 2015 after a tumor was removed from his kidney. A biopsy confirmed
00:59it was cancerous, and he had regular scans, which remained clear for five years. In 2020,
01:05doctors found six new tumors in his kidneys and liver, ruling out surgery and starting Lundgren
01:10on chemotherapy. The grueling treatments left him sore and unable to eat, leading to rapid weight loss.
01:16Facing a bleak prognosis, doctors urged him to prioritize family time. Despite being told he had
01:23two to three years, Lundgren remained defiant, reflecting on his frickin' great life. Instead
01:28of accepting the timeline, Lundgren got a second opinion from Dr. Alexandra Dracocki, discovering a
01:34tumor mutation. This breakthrough allowed testing new treatments shrinking tumors significantly.
01:39By 2022, they had reduced 90% and were removed. In 2024, he announced he was at UCLA to get rid of
01:47that last tumor, and would be finally cancer-free after what he called a rough ride.
