He expressed how thin his eyebrows have gotten since the start of his treatment as well. </p><div><br/></div><p>“My eyebrows used to be really thick but they’ve fallen out a lot.

Now I have to keep pressure on for 4 to 6 hours. Just don’t go to the bathroom,” he expressed. </p><div><br/></div><p>“The anesthesia wore off and the spot where they took the marrow hurts, so I tried to sleep but I woke up from the pain. It hurts so much. My leg even feels numb,” he added.</p><div><br/></div><p>The reality show star maintained that he is hopeful that the results will come out in his favor so that he can go back to his “normal life” as he has been in the hospital for several months now to receive continuous treatment. </p><div><br/></div><p>“We’re waiting for the bone marrow test results on the 22nd. I’m thinking this might be the end. I’ve just been in the hospital this year. I’m starting to feel like I want to get back to my normal life. That makes me anxious sometimes. I even applied for auditions for short films and independent films,” he said.</p><div><br/></div><p>“This time, I believe in it. I have confidence and a good feeling that I’m cured,” he declared. </p><div><br/></div><p>It was earlier this year when Cha Hyun-seung revealed his leukemia diagnosis.
