Hugh Jackman Updates His Fans After Skin Cancer Surgery

Living with cancer is a nightmare, but curing it is no picnic either. Hugh Jackman knows better than anyone. The X-Men star has just shared news with his followers online that he's undergone six surgeries to cure his.

Jackman discovered he had basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer, back in 2013. He found out after his longtime wife Deborra-Lee Furness said he should get a mark on his nose checked by a doctor.

"Boy, was she right!" he wrote on Twitter.

Since then we've seen the actor sporting a band aid on his nose a few times over the years after his many surgeries.

While Jackman is shrugging off his surgery, he warned his fans to protect themselves and wear sunscreen. Hopefully Hugh will be feeling better soon, and this will be the last surgery he has to go through.
