The former Grey’s Anatomy star was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological disorder after he started experiencing weakness in his right hand a year and a half ago.

He said he didn’t think anything of it at first – but then received the shocking diagnosis.

“I have one functional arm,” Dane told Diane Sawyer.

“My left side is functioning, my right side has completely stopped working.

“I feel like maybe a couple more months and I won’t have my left hand either. It’s sobering.”

He broke down in tears speaking about his wife, Rebecca.

“We have managed to become better friends and better parents,” he said.

“She is probably my biggest champion and my most stalwart supporter. And I lean on her.”
