Back in June, LazyTown actor and dank 'We Are Number One' memer Stefan Karl Steffansson was reported to be in the final stages of cancer.

The star had been diagnosed with a rare form of bile-duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma, and his wife confirmed that it had advanced to stage four, writing that "his life expectancy is unfortunately significantly reduced".

But in an interview (translated from Icelandic) that Stefansson shared on his Facebook page over the weekend, he revealed things had taken a turn for the better:

"I'm free from the disease, the cancer," he said. "The hurt has gone. Until it returns, which I hope it will be never. Life is now. It's really a miracle that I'm still here."

However, it does look like something might have been lost in translation. Yesterday (August 13), the actor posted an update to the GoFundMe page that was set up by a friend to raise money for medical bills and family support.

In the update, he states "there is a little misunderstanding going on, but still there is a good reason to celebrate life.

"I have been asked by hundreds of people tonight if it's true that I'm free of cancer. This is one of those questions I don't really know how to answer.

"I'm free of any cancer metastases right now after undergoing a very successful liver surgery in June this year performed by one of the best liver surgery teams in the world.

"I'm NOT free of the danger yet," he continued, "but I'm free of the metastases. I have refused any further adjuvant therapy, chemo or radiation, since there is less than 3% chance of it making any difference, but more likely it will make me more and more sick.

"So, if it comes back, if we are looking at another metastases, we will try surgery or nothing at all."

Stefansson added that he will be returning to the theatre for a limited run of 10 shows, and thanked fans for their support and prayers.
