German actor and former soccer player Eric Braeden emotionally revealed he is battling cancer and undergoing treatment, in a video shared on Facebook Live.
"I hate to be his personal, but I think this may be good for some older guys who may or may not listen to this. It'll happen to them. Your prostate grows as you grow older," he shared. Braeden revealed he was having trouble going to the bathroom, so much so that he had to have a catheter inserted. After seeing a urologist, the problem persisted, leaving Braeden in immense pain one day while on his way to work. Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

"I was close to Cedar's [Sinai] hospital and I thought, I'll just go to the urology department, what the hell. They may recognize me, who knows, but I'll just try it," he recalled of the experience.
