Patrick Murray has revealed he’s been diagnosed with cancer for the second time and has undergone surgery to remove half of his liver.
The Only Fools and Horses legend, 66, who played Mickey Pearce in the BBC sitcom revealed in May 2022 how he had recovered after being treated for lung cancer.
However, the star has recently revealed to his fans that he has been undergoing treatment after medics discovered a second primary cancer.

“Minus half a liver and a tumour that the wonderful Prof Heaton removed last week. I kept this under my hat that they’d discovered another primary cancer last year.”
He went on to write: “I am a two-person, that’s for sure. High fives to all at Kings College Hospital.”
Patrick’s post was soon flooded with get-well messages from his followers, with one writing: “Oh Pat, Gutted to read that BUT a positive start for 2023 & I really hope you make a speedy recovery with a clean bill of health for the future.

Meanwhile, Coronation Street’s Jim McDonald actor Charlie Lawson tweeted: “God love you Pat. x”
Just last year, Patrick explained that he’d been diagnosed with lung cancer after specialist doctors had discovered a malignant tumour.
Speaking just five months after his diagnosis, Patrick told his fans: “Thanks again for all your lovely messages. As you may know, I was diagnosed with lung cancer last July.

“After an op in October to remove the tumour I had chemo to help prevent the cancer returning.”
He went on to add: “During this chemo, another tumour was discovered in my liver. Luckily for me, this cancer was unconnected to the lung cancer and was also treatable.
“I had a procedure called TACE to deal with this. Last Friday l saw my oncologist She told me the lung cancer was cured and that the tumour in my liver was shrinking.
Patrick shared a glimmer of hope as he continued: “It’s not over yet, but as you can imagine I am over the moon with this latest news.
“Thanks to the brilliant doctors and nurses of our NHS, I will hopefully I be there, at next years convention.”
