Celebrities often have their lives in the spotlight.
Apart from the glitz and glamour, it could also be an avenue for them to share more personal moments with their fans and followers.
Recently, a former Hollywood heartthrob shared a sobering update about his condition, which made his fans worry.
James Van Der Beek, the actor who captured hearts as Dawson Leery on the hit series Dawson's Creek, recently talked about his health.
Van Der Beek revealed in a statement that he has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
The news came as a shock to fans of the 47-year-old actor who kept a private life after his success in show business.
'I've been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family,' Van Der Beek shared.
Despite the gravity of the situation, he expressed a sense of hope.
'There's reason for optimism, and I'm feeling good.'
Prior to embracing a private life, James Van Der Beek's career spanned decades.
He was a mainstay in Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003, cementing his place in television history.
He also made guest appearances on shows like Walker and is set to appear in Sidelined: The QB and Me later this month.
Now a father of six, Van Der Beek has been a family man, celebrating moments of joy with his loved ones despite facing life's hurdles.
While Van Der Beek did not share further details about his diagnosis and treatment, his openness about his condition brought to light a significant health issue affecting many, including Australians.
Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world.
According to Bowel Cancer Australia, about one in 15 Australians are expected to develop the disease in their lifetime.
This statistic should be a stark reminder of the importance of regular screenings and awareness of the symptoms associated with colorectal cancer.
The statistics are as concerning in the United States as they are in Australia.
American Cancer Society statistics stated that about one in 23 men and one in 25 women are diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
These figures underscored the nature of the disease and the need for vigilance in its early detection and treatment.
Bowel cancer can be treated if found in its early stages.
Van Der Beek's diagnosis should be a reminder to prioritise health and not delay any screenings.
We wish James Van Der Beek a full recovery.
