On Wednesday, the former Home and Away star, 35, returned to Australia to resume his treatment. The Perth native shared a photo on Instagram of him giving a thumbs up sign from a reclining chair in a hospital before a session of chemotherapy.
Many of Johnny’s celebrity friends were quick to send him their best wishes.
‘You’re amazing,’ gushed PR queen Roxy Jacenko while actress Bonnie Swin wrote: ‘You’ve got it’.
Johnny regularly posts updates about his cancer treatment to his 261,000 Instagram followers.
Earlier this year, he began another round of chemotherapy and posted a photo of himself in hospital with his girlfriend Tahni by his side.
The actor put on a brave face, smiling and giving a thumbs up while sitting on a chair.
‘Back to my favorite chair,’ she wrote sarcastically alongside the hashtags #ihatethischair and #f**kcancer.
Alongside the three boxing glove emojis, he wrote, ‘Back to reality’.
Johnny was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017 when he went to the hospital with painful migraines.
In August of that year, he was rushed to surgery and had a 7cm brain tumor surgically removed from his frontal lobe before chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The former X Factor star praised her partner Tahni, referring to her as her ‘guardian angel’ and saying she doesn’t know what she would do without him.
Johnny went into remission a few months after his initial diagnosis in 2017, but revealed in November 2021 that the disease had returned.
