Cameron took to his Instagram account to announce that he is indeed cancer free. Many of his fans agree that is fabulous news. The actor took to his Instagram account to write, ““It’s been three years since my kidney cancer surgery and I’m feeling amazing. I’m back here at USC Keck School of Medicine for my CT scan, chest X-rays, and blood work to make sure I can say… three years cancer-free.”

General Hospital Star Cameron Mathison Is Living His Best Life Now

Back in September 2019, Cameron admitted that he had a very difficult road ahead of him when he first learned about his diagnosis. He said at the time, “About a month ago, I had an MRI for some gut issues I’ve been having, and during that MRI they found a tumor on my right kidney. It’s consistent with Renal Cell Carcinoma … or kidney cancer. The good news is that it hasn’t spread to any other organs. They say my healthy lifestyle and diet has no doubt helped keep it from growing and spreading to other areas, as doctors think it’s been growing in me for minimum 10 years. 

Cameron also went on to thank his wife and his children for being so supportive during this difficult time in their family’s life. He continued, “I am extremely lucky that we found it early. My [wife] Vanessa, [kids] Lucas and Leila have been absolutely amazing with their love and support… as have my mom, dad, brother, and everyone at Home and Family, Hallmark, and ET. My surgery is scheduled on September 12th, I was hoping to receive positive thoughts, prayers, or whatever you feel comfortable with, on 9/12 (my surgery is at 1pm PST) .” He concluded, “Feeling very grateful and optimistic!!”
