'Young and the Restless' Star Christian LeBlanc in Remission from Cancer, Recognized Symptoms After Fans Noted Changes
LeBlanc, diagnosed with multiple myeloma, credits observant fans for spotting early signs of the disease and is set to return to the daytime soap for the Thanksgiving episode.
- 'The Young and the Restless' actor Christian LeBlanc revealed he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in June 2023 following observant fans noticing a change in his eye.
- The fans' observations led to a visit to a neuro-ophthalmologist, where a tumour in his sinus cavity was discovered, pressing on his optic nerve. LeBlanc noticed his character's wedding ring fell off without friction and had recurring nosebleeds on set.
- LeBlanc reported he had never been hospitalized before, but he had to start treatment quickly due to the rapid nature of his cancer. However, the highly researched nature of multiple myeloma meant that effective treatment options were readily available.
- Battling cancer resulted in the actor losing 35lbs in two months. Following his treatment, doctors told him to consume calories like it was his job, to recover his health and physical strength.
- Christian LeBlanc, now in remission, is set to return to 'The Young and the Restless' for the Thanksgiving episode, marking his comeback on the show.
