FORMER Home and Away star Johnny Ruffo will immediately begin aggressive treatment for brain cancer.
Doctors gave the actor the news a week after he underwent emergency surgery to remove a brain tumour.
“So I have the news. It was a bit of a shock and I’ve got an interesting journey ahead and a bit of a battle,” Ruffo wrote on social media last night, sharing an image of himself smiling and wearing a beanie.
“I am starting aggressive treatment for the next few months to fight the diagnosis of brain cancer. Please stay positive for me and I’ll try to update you guys on my progress.”
Last week the actor 29-year-old shocked his friends, fellow actors and fans by sharing images of a dramatic post-surgery scar across his forehead and another of his head bandaged while sitting in a hospital bed.
“On Sunday I went into hospital with a migraine,” Ruffo said in a statement.
“I had to have a brain tumour removed. I am on the mend and feeling positive. Keep me in your thoughts.”
