'The Young and the Restless' fans helped Christian J. LeBlanc see the early signs of cancer, leading him to seek treatment
Christian J. LeBlanc revealed he quietly beat cancer, and The Young and the Restless fans helped him see the early signs of his illness.
The actor was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. 'There was a tumor right here,' he said, pointing to the space between his brows, 'pressing on my optic nerve.' 'They put my wedding rings on, Lauren and Michael's wedding ring, and I put my hand down and the ring fell off without friction. And I said, 'Well what an odd thing,'' LeBlanc recalled. 'My nose started bleeding on set sometimes. eye kind of got a little wonky.'His optometrist suggested the soap opera star see a neurological ophthalmologist, who discovered a tumor in his sinus cavity.
Multiple myeloma is a 'very common cancer,' LeBlanc said, which is why he is already in remission. 'It is such a well researched cancer and they have made so many huge steps with taking the pain out of chemo and making more constructive immunotherapies,' he explained.
