Former Home and Away star Johnny Ruffo has given a health update to his fans, as the singer continues to battle cancer.
The 34-year-old X Factor finalist was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and has frequently updated his supporters on his road to recovery.
Ruffo shared several snaps on his Instagram to mark five years since his heartbreaking diagnosis.
The musician shared a carousel of ten photos and videos over the course of his journey, including photos with his supportive partner Tahnee Sims as well as the moment he had staples taken out of his head.
“Exactly 5 years to the day since my diagnosis. Still fighting this son of ab**ch,” he captioned the post.
“Thanks for all the support”.
The former Perth boy was met with a wave of love and support from his famous friends, including AFL legend Brendan Fevola, comedian Dave Hughesy, and one-half of The Veronicas, Jessica Origliasso.
His former H&A costars also voiced their support, including Dan Ewing, Georgie Parker, Kyle Pryor, and Emily Symons.
His partner also shared her own post to mark the milestone.
“Five years on 💜 In awe of you every single day,” she wrote alongside photos of the pair.
“Still a huge battle ahead but a major milestone reached that was at times uncertain. Grateful for you always @johnny_ruffo.”
Ruffo’s health update comes just weeks ahead of the release of his upcoming memoir, No Finish Line.
Set to be released on August 30, the book will give his fans an insight into the negative impacts fame has had on his life.
The singer was originally diagnosed with a rare brain cancer in 2017, he revealed two years later that he was all-clear of the disease. Sadly in November 2020, I shared the devastating news that his cancer had returned.
