Farnham underwent a 12-hour surgery in 2022 after being diagnosed with throat cancer, with doctors removing a tumour from his mouth and reconstructing his jaw.
Speaking to Sunrise hosts Nat Barr and Matt Shirvington late last year, Robert said his dad was going from strength to strength and was now cancer-free.
“He’s doing fantastic. Just the other day he was, you know, walking around with his cane and did a little bit of a dance, which was pretty fabulous,” he said.
“He’s walking with his dog a lot — so he’s really, really happy.”
Robert even shared that his dad had started singing again.
