Actor Billy Baldwin‘s teenage son is in remission after quietly battling cancer.
The "Northern Rescue" star revealed the news on Instagram on Thursday, one year after Vance -- who was 16 at the time -- was diagnosed.
"He kept it very quiet ... we all did," Baldwin wrote. "He went through 28 rounds of chemo yet stayed VERY positive, focused and kept his life as normal as possible ... every single day."
"Kid’s a tough son of a b---h," the 56-year-old actor continued. "Sharp as a tack. Funny as hell. Tough as nails. Heart of gold. Courage, strength, bravery, attitude, warrior ... never seen anything like it. Never been prouder. Love you son."
Baldwin went on to express his love and gratitude to supporters, and to the whole Santa Barbara, Calif., community.
