In a recent appearance on WWL-TV, Christian J. LeBlanc, the beloved actor from The Young and the Restless, made a shocking announcement. He revealed that he has been fighting cancer. LeBlanc pointed to his brow and explained how there was a tumor pressing on his optic nerve. It was only when fans pointed out his “wonky” eye that he started to pay attention to the unusual symptoms he had been experiencing on set.
LeBlanc, who is now 65 years old, shared his journey, explaining how he went to see a neurological ophthalmologist and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. This type of cancer, although fast-progressing, has seen remarkable advancements in treatment and research. LeBlanc commended the efforts made in taking the pain out of chemotherapy and developing more constructive immunotherapies.
Despite being diagnosed just a few months ago in June, LeBlanc is already in remission and plans to return to The Young and the Restless. Fans can expect to see his character back for the Thanksgiving episode.
