Dolph Lundgren, the actor best known for his turn as the villainous boxer Ivan Drago in the Rocky film series, has announced he is “finally cancer free”. The Swede disclosed last year that he’d been fighting the disease since 2015 and was told in 2020 that his cancer was terminal and that he had only three years to live. But now, he is looking forward to the future this Thanksgiving, taking to Instagram to say: “Here I am at UCLA, I’m about to go in and get rid of that last tumour. Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I’ll be cancer-free so I’m looking forward to this procedure.” He said he was undergoing a lung ablation, a procedure that uses heating or cooling mechanisms to destroy tumor tissue. “It’s been a rough ride and really taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life. I mean, it’s the only way to go,” Lundgren said from his hospital bed pre op.
