Only Fools And Horses star Patrick Murray has revealed that his lung cancer is “cured” and that the tumour in his liver is shrinking. Murray, 65, who played Mickey Pearce in the classic BBC sitcom, revealed earlier this year that scans had caught a cancerous lung tumour in its early stages and that he had undergone an operation to have it removed, followed by chemotherapy.
Subsequent scans found another tumour in his liver that was unconnected to his lung cancer and also 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, Murray said: “Thanks again for all your lovely messages. As you may know, I was diagnosed with lung cancer last July.”
