"Absolute legend": Johnny Ruffo’s latest health update from hospital

Johnny Ruffo has given another update into his health as he continues to undergo chemotherapy.

The 34-year-old was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017 after struggling with multiple headaches.

Ruffo then announced in 2019 that he was in remission, but by November 2020 the cancer had returned, before confirming in 2022 that his illness is terminal.

A new photo of the former Home and Away actor has emerged, showing Ruffo in hospital asleep on the bed following a round of chemo to treat his cancer.

“Catching up on some zzz’s whilst getting my chemo today,” the image was captioned.

The post was quickly flooded with well-wishes from family and friends, with his girlfriend Tahnee Sims posting three angel emojis beneath the post.

“You are stronger than any of us can ever imagine,” someone else wrote.

“Ur an absolute legend,” another commented.

“Stay strong Johnny!” another read.

Johnny has recently released a memoir called No Finish Line, dedicated to his girlfriend, in which he details his experiences recording music, acting, his family and loved ones.

The title, he explains, is that “it wasn’t the end”.
