Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has revealed that his rare cancer treatment will stop working eventually. The 76-year-old actor was diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in early 2022. He has been undergoing treatment with a drug called tafasitamab, which has been successful in putting him into remission. However, doctors have told him that the drug will eventually stop working.
In a recent interview with Australian Story, Neill said that he is “prepared” for his cancer treatment to stop working, but he is “not remotely afraid” of death. He is more concerned about the thought of retirement, which he says “fills me with horror.”
Neill’s story is a reminder of the challenges that cancer patients face, even when they are in remission. The fear of the cancer returning can be overwhelming, and it is important for patients to have access to support and resources.
Neill has been a vocal advocate for cancer research and awareness. He has also spoken about the importance of living life to the fullest, even when facing a terminal illness.
“I’m not going to sit around and wait for it to come,” Neill said in the interview. “I’m going to live my life.”
Neill’s story is an inspiration to many, and it shows that it is possible to live a full and meaningful life even in the face of adversity.
