'Home Alone' Actor Ken Hudson Campbell's Cancer Surgery Successful

Campbell faces a lengthy recovery and further treatment, while his GoFundMe campaign nears its $100k goal.

  • Ken Hudson Campbell, known for playing Santa in 'Home Alone', underwent successful cancer removal surgery.
  • The actor was diagnosed with cancer in October after a tumor grew on the bottom of his mouth.
  • Campbell will remain in ICU for another 2-3 days, before he's transferred to regular inpatient hospital care for about another week.
  • He will still have to undergo reconstructive surgery, as well as radiation and possibly chemo, which comes with a lengthy 6-month recovery period.
  • Campbell's GoFundMe campaign to cover medical expenses has raised over $96,000 of the $100k goal, with notable donations from Steve Carell and others.
