Christy Dignam has thanked fans for their “support and well wishes” amid his health battle.
The 62-year-old was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, which there is “no cure” for, on St. Patrick’s Day in 2013.
Earlier this week, the Aslan star’s family asked for prayers as they confirmed he is receiving palliative care at his home.

Christy’s daughter Kiera wrote on Facebook on Wednesday: “My Dad just asked me to thank everyone for their support, well wishes and kind words over the last couple of days.”
“It has been and will be tough but it’s really given him a boost so thank you all!”
A statement shared on behalf of Christy’s family earlier this week confirmed: “In July 2022, Christy was admitted to Beaumont Hospital and spent the next six months in the care of the Haematology and Cardiac Care team.”
