What He Revealed About Cancer Diagnosis

When Cameron Mathison first got the cancer diagnosis in 2019. After an MRI to figure out what was causing gastrointestinal issues, doctors discovered the tumor. Looking back at his diagnosis and finding out, Cameron said, “In my heart, I’d known something was wrong, but actually hearing the diagnosis was bizarre. It felt like a dream that seemed so real, but one I wanted to wake up from.”

The 56-year-old father and Emmy-nominated actor shared that the doctor was able to remove the tumor along with 20 percent of his right kidney. He’s been cancer-free since then.

Along with battling cancer, Mathison also lost his home to the Los Angeles wildfires that occurred a few years ago. Through it all, he maintains his positive attitude, and while his character on the show is hated, Mathison has learned to embrace it all. It’s fun for him to portray the complete opposite of how he is in his everyday life.

Along with appearing in General Hospital, Mathison also steps in from time to time as a guest host on Good Morning America. He also continues to make Christmas movies.
