Ford took to his official Instagram to post a photo of a doctor holding a syringe connected to an IV. In the caption, he mentioned feeling unwell during Christmas, initially attributing it to holiday fatigue.
“Things escalated on Christmas Eve,” he recounted. “I endured a terrifying few weeks where I was very ill, and doctors were unsure of the cause, but ultimately, I received a diagnosis.”
He shared that he had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a revelation that hit him hard. “While I fully understand the seriousness of the situation, it is treatable, and as of today, I am commencing aggressive chemotherapy to tackle it,” he stated.
