The Hallmark Channel host and actor Cameron Mathison took to his social media on Tuesday, September 10 to share the somber news that he was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer.

The 50-year-old posted a photo of himself with his family and shared, “I have a health situation that I want to share with you all. There are many reasons I love social media, staying connected with you all, sharing fun experiences… well this time I’m asking for your help.”

He continued, “About a month ago, I had an MRI for some gut issues I’ve been having, and during that MRI they found a tumor on my right kidney. It’s consistent with Renal Cell Carcinoma … or kidney cancer.” He added that right now the cancer has not spread and he is staying positive.

“The good news is that it hasn’t spread to any other organs They say my healthy lifestyle and diet has no doubt helped keep it from growing and spreading to other areas, as doctors think it’s been growing in me for minimum 10 years. I am extremely lucky that we found it early.”

He added, “Thank you to my longtime friend and urologist @jon_giddens who has helped me tremendously through this process.
Vanessa, Lucas and Leila have been absolutely amazing with their love and support… as have my mom, dad, brother, and everyone at Home and Family, Hallmark, and ET My surgery is scheduled on September 12th, I was hoping to receive positive thoughts, prayers, or whatever you feel comfortable with, on 9/12 (my surgery is at 1pm PST)  I announced this on @homeandfamilytv yesterday, and wanted to make sure I posted about it here as well. Feeling very grateful and optimistic!! #thankyou yes.”

Mathison is best known for his role as Ryan Lavery on All My Children from 1998 to 2011 and has recently appeared in several Hallmark Channel films and serves as the co-host of the network’s talk show Home & Family.
