Dolph Lundgren, the actor known for his roles in the 1985’s “Rocky IV” and 2018’s “Creed II,” shared he’s been battling cancer<\/a> for the last eight years in a candid interview.<\/p>\n

During the interview on In Depth With Graham Bensinger<\/i>, the action star spoke openly about health struggles he’s faced for much of the past decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rocky <\/i>star said his cancer battle started when doctors found a tumor in his kidney in 2015. The doctors were able to remove the cancerous tumor in his kidney, “then I did scans every six months, then you do it every year and it was fine, you know, for five years,”\u00a0Lundgren said.<\/p>\n

But in 2020, “I was back in Sweden and had some kind of acid reflux,” Lundgren recalled. “I didn’t know what it was. So I did an MRI, and they found there were a few more tumors around the area.”<\/p>\n

Six additional tumors were removed during surgery, but one more tumor had grown into the “size of a lemon” in his liver<\/a> in the fall of 2021 and doctors where unable to remove it.<\/p>\n

“They did a scan to prepare for surgery, and the surgeon called me and said, \u2018No, it\u2019s grown now. It\u2019s too big. We can\u2019t take it out. It\u2019s like the size of a small lemon.\u2019 So if they can\u2019t take it out, that means you have to do systemic therapy.” Lundgren said. “But then I started getting these side effects where I got diarrhea, and I lost a lot of weight.”<\/p>\n

After his doctor told the Don’t Kill It<\/i> actor to “spend more time with family,” Lundgren\u00a0realized that the doctor didn’t think he had much time to live.<\/p>\n

“So I kind of asked him, \u2018How long do you think I\u2019ve got left?\u2019 And I think he said two or three years, but I could tell in his voice that he probably thought it was less,” Lundgren\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

The Aquaman<\/i> star confessed he wasn’t “bitter about” the possibility of dying<\/a>, saying that he had a “frickin’ great life.”<\/p>\n

“I thought it was it for sure,” he continued. “You kind of look at your life and go I\u2019ve had a frickin\u2019 great life. I\u2019ve lived like five lifetimes in one. So it wasn\u2019t like I was bitter about it.”<\/p>\n

Even as his cancer continued to progress, Lundgren decided to get a second opinion from Dr.\u00a0Alexandra Drakaki, who made a key discovery about his case<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The California-based oncologist discovered a mutation in one of his growths that is common in lung cancer allowing doctors to try other potential treatments.<\/p>\n

“Within three months, things were shrinking by 20 to 30 percent,” Lundgren said.<\/p>\n

By the end of 2022 and his tumors had shrunk by about “90 percent,” allowing him to surgically remove all the remaining scar tissue.<\/p>\n
