While he admitted that he didn't want to get too comfortable saying it, the "Murder, She Baked" actor felt it was okay for him to admit that he is now cancer-free.
Cameron's interview with the media outlet came some months after Today reported that during the American Humane Hero Dog Awards in 2019 he said:
"I'm feeling really, really well. It's three weeks out of surgery and I honestly didn't even think that I would be feeling up for coming here tonight."

Cameron, who has been on the Hallmark Channel as a "Home & Family" co-host since added that:
"the surgery went really well, the prognosis is very optimistic."
Soon after the surgery, the actor showed off the scars he got from the procedure in an Instagram post, according to a Today report.
Through the post, he explained that he spent half of his life focused on the way his body looked and the half of his career being shirtless. While he had his abs to show off before, Cameron was more than pleased to "bear the scars that made me cancer-free."
It would be recalled that CNN Entertainment disclosed that the 50-year-old actor was battling with cancer after he shared the news via his Instagram.
Cameron started the post by claiming that he had a health situation that he wanted to share with his fans and followers.
The "Love, Of Course" actor then proceeded to state that he found out he had kidney cancer after he went for an MRI concerning some "gut issues" he had been experiencing.
