Only Fools and Horses star Patrick Murray has revealed that he has had his liver and tumour removed following his second cancer diagnosis.
The 66-year-old actor, best known for playing Mickey Pearce in the hit BBC comedy, previously opened up about how his lung cancer had been cured in May last year.
However, he took to Twitter today to share the news that he had another form of cancer and that he had half of his liver and a tumour removed.
He tweeted: "I am going home today.
"Minus half a liver and a tumour that the wonderful Prof Heaton removed last week.
"I kept this under my hat that they'd discovered another primary cancer last year.
"I am a two person, that's for sure. High fives to all at Kings College Hospital."
It comes after Patrick revealed last year that he had discovered a cancerous lung tumour in its early stages and underwent surgery to remove it, as well as undergoing chemotherapy.
More scans found another tumour in his liver that was treatable.
He received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (Tace), a minimally invasive procedure performed in interventional radiology to restrict a tumour’s blood supply.
Sharing a health update on Twitter, Patrick explained at the time: “Thanks again for all your lovely messages. As you may know, I was diagnosed with lung cancer last July.
“After an op in Oct to remove the tumour I had chemo to help prevent the cancer returning. During this chemo, another tumour was discovered in my liver.
“Luckily for me this cancer was unconnected to the lung cancer and was also treatable. I had a procedure called Tace to deal with this.
“Last Friday l saw my oncologist. She told me the lung cancer was cured and that the tumour in my liver was shrinking.
“It’s not over yet, but as you can imagine I am over the moon with this latest news.”
He went on to thank the 'brilliant' doctors and nurses of the NHS for all that they have done.
"I will hopefully I be there, at next years convention," he said of the annual Only Fools And Horses convention.
