Johnny Ruffo relaxes with family while fighting brain cancer
Johnny Ruffo took the time to relax with family and friends on the weekend despite battling brain cancer for a second time.
He posted a sweet snap with his girlfriend Tahnee Sims and his nonna on his Instagram.
"Two of my favourite people," the 33-year-old captioned his post.
Ruffo has been undergoing treatment for his brain cancer since December 2020 when he announced that it had returned.
"After an unexpected week of seizures and excruciating headaches it is with a heavy heart that i have to let you know i now have another huge battle ahead of me as my brain cancer has returned, though i will dig deep and beat this shit disease again 👊🏽💜," he shared back in November last year.
He was first diagnosed with cancer in 2017 where doctors performed emergency surgery to remove a 7cm tumour inside his brain.
"There was a one in 20 chance that I wouldn't survive it," Ruffo told Today Extra in 2018. "I almost didn't have time to react to it, because I went in and then I fell into a coma and I woke up two or three days later and they said, 'We operated and you had a tumour.'"
