Concerns: In August 2022, Johnny confirmed his brain cancer diagnosis was terminal and said he feared how his girlfriend Tahnee would cope once he is gone

Johnny was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017 after going to the hospital with painful migraines

Scary: In August of that year, he had emergency surgery and a 7 cm brain tumor was surgically removed from his frontal lobe, before undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy

Progression: Johnny went into remission months after his initial diagnosis in 2017, but revealed in November 2021 that the disease had returned
‘Another year of chemotherapy behind us. It wasn’t easy, but I made it,” he wrote at the time.
‘I can’t wait to take a few weeks off over Christmas and spend some well deserved time with my family. #f**kcancer.’
In August 2022, Johnny confirmed his brain cancer diagnosis was terminal and said he fears how his girlfriend Tahnee would cope once he is gone.
“You can only imagine how hard it’s been for her,” he said on The Project.
“What’s on my mind a lot is, I hate saying this, no matter how hard it can be for her if something happens to me.
“So it’s something I don’t want to think about. It just makes me a little emotional because I know something will happen at some point, whether it’s, you know, in a month or 10 years or 20 years from now.”
Johnny told then-host Carrie Bickmore that he had already outlived his life expectancy.
“At some point it will get to me, but I’m still fighting. Still kicking. When I look up my diagnosis and my tumor, the average life expectancy was three years,” he said.
Johnny was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017 after going to the hospital with painful migraines.
