Johnny Ruffo shares health update

Johnny Ruffo has shared an update on his cancer battle, prompting a flood of support from his nearest and dearest.

The former Home & Away star took to Instagram with the update, sharing a photo of himself sitting in a hospital chair.

โ€œPowering through another round of chemo ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’œ #f**kcancer,โ€ he wrote.

His girlfriend Tahnee Sims was among the first to praise the actor and singer, commenting with a series of muscled arm emojis.

"Sending you lots of love @johnny_ruffo โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ,โ€ Home and Away alum Sarah Roberts shared.

โ€œYouโ€™re a legend buddy โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘,โ€ singer and X Factor runner-up Jason Owen commented.

โ€œYou are incredible darling @johnnyruffo! Love you ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™,โ€ actress Rhonda Burchmore said.

"Hello darling. See you guys very soon. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’•,โ€ wrote fellow Home and Away star Lynne McGregor, who is also one of Ruffoโ€™s closest friends.

McGregor, who plays Roberts on the soap, has been one of Ruffoโ€™s supporters since they worked on the show together.

In an interview with TV Week last month, Ruffo described his former co-star as โ€œamazingโ€.

โ€œShe constantly checks in and asks how Iโ€™m doing. She always wants to go out for dinner,โ€ he said.

"I can't stress enough how people like her help get through tough times. She's just a wonderful person. Having people like that to say 'Oh, how are you feeling this week?' and little sweet things like that make all the difference. It's a great support network."
