Australian actor Tom Long has revealed he's been suffering from an incurable blood cancer for seven years and could have just months to live.
Shortly after being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2012, Long collapsed on stage while performing at the Sydney Opera House and he hasn't returned to acting since.

He has also featured in several Australian hit movies, including Two Hands, The Dish and The Book of Revelation.
