“Absolutely Heartbreaking! Emmerdale fans fear Cain Dingle may die after battling cancer.”
Emmerdale confirms outcome of Cain’s cancer operation
Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) headed to the hospital in Emmerdale today for a very important operation.
Way back in January, Cain was shot and rushed into theatre. Afterwards, he was told he needed a test, as a doctor had found a lump that was potentially cancerous.
Cain was eventually given the news that he has prostate cancer, but the actual operation was scheduled for April.
He endured an agonising wait, which went on for longer than intended due to Cain being hit by a car. He was informed that he needed to recover from his injuries before the surgery, which meant the chance of his cancer spreading had increased.
During this wait, Cain began to have second thoughts about having the operation. He knew there was a chance he’d struggle with sex after, and feared that this would have a negative impact on his and Moira Dingle’s (Natalie J Robb) marriage.
Cain tried to cancel his appointment, and also told Moira that they should split up to save them any trouble further down the line. Fortunately, a conversation with Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) – who has Parkinson’s Disease – ultimately changed Cain’s mind.
In tonight’s episode, Moira, Cain, Kyle (Huey Quinn) and Isaac (Bobby Dunsmuir) were at the hospital. Cain was trying to remain strong for his boys, but it was clear from the look on his face that he was feeling anxious.

Also worried about what lied ahead was Kyle. During the limo crash disaster last year, his mum Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) was taken to hospital but sadly died. The traumatic loss left Kyle with the thought that he was going to lose his dad in hospital as well.
After a few hours of waiting, Moira, Kyle and Isaac discovered from a doctor that Cain’s operation had been a success. They were relieved, and Moira finally felt as though there was light shining at the end of a very long and dark tunnel.
As Cain began to recover, a nurse arrived to check his catheter.
While Moira chatted about their future looking brighter, Cain’s eyes were fixed on the catheter, which served as a reminder that things are going to look very different for him now.
