Actor Ryan O’Neal is facing cancer once again.
The 70-year-old was recently diagnosed with stage two prostate cancer.
In a statement, O’Neal says it was detected early and he’s positive for a full recovery.
“Although I was shocked and stunned by the news, I feel fortunate that it was detected early, and according to my extraordinary team of doctors, the prognosis is positive for a full recovery,” he said.
The star was previously treated for leukemia, which is now in remission.
His longtime partner, actress Farrah Fawcett, died from anal cancer in 2009.
