The Icelandic actor, who played Robbie Rotten in the much-loved children’s show, revealed that his cancer "has gone" after undergoing liver surgery. "The damn disease is gone," he told Icelandic reporters. "Until it comes back, whenever that will be, which will hopefully be never. Life is now. It’s almost a miracle that I’m still here."In an update to his Just Giving page, the 42 year old clarified that he is not yet cancer free, but is free from cancer metastasis. Cancer metastasis is when cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. However, he is not completely free from the disease. He wrote: "There is a little misunderstanding going on, but still there is a good reason to celebrate life. I have been asked by hundreds of people tonight if it’s true that I’m free of cancer. "This is one of those questions I don’t really know how to answer - but am I free of getting another metastasis? That we will not know in the coming weeks or months, that’s just how Cholangiocarcinoma of Bile Duct cancer works, you simply don’t know. "I'm free of any cancer metastases right now after undergoing a very successful liver surgery in June this year."He explained that he is even planning on acting again, for 10 live shows at Iceland’s Nation Theatre."I’m NOT free of the danger yet - but I’m free of the metastases," he clarified. "I have refused any further adjuvant therapy, chemo or radiation, since there is less than 3% chance of it making any difference, but more likely it will make me more and more sick. "So, if it comes back, if we are looking at another metastases, we will try surgery or nothing at all. I will keep you all posted, cross your fingers and keep thinking of me since I’m here for you just like you are there for me. "By standing together we stand stronger, as you have proved so often with your amazing letters, GoFundMe support and prayers. Me and my family are so thankful to you all, and we always will be."
It's a blimmin Christmas miracle
Wasn't it basically guaranteed that he wouldn't survive this?
