Ryan Murphy is sharing some fantastic news about his son Ford.
While attending Variety’s Power of Women event, the television mogul, 53, revealed his 5-year-old song is “cancer-free” following a long battle with the disease.
“Three years ago my beautiful son Ford went for a standard typical 18-month exam,” Murphy said, while presenting an award to Dana Walden, who was being honoured for her work with the UCLA Jonson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Thankfully, they were able to catch Ford’s tumour early.

“He sat up, she was able to press her fingers in a bit deeper, Her eyes widened. Something was not right. From that moment came a day of terror and scans,” he said, referring to his son’s neuroblastoma. “My baby had a tumour the size of a tennis ball at 18 months growing behind his abdominal wall. And the doctor said this was bad.”
“Ford went through a six-hour surgery and years of intense exams which required hours and hours of anesthesia. I cannot express to you in this room how difficult this was on him, how difficult this was for our family,” Murphy continued before revealing, “I am so proud to proclaim that he is cancer-free.”
Murphy shares Ford with his husband David Miller.
