Sam Neill let fans know Saturday he's OK, a day after he said his revelation that he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma created 'Cancer, Cancer, Cancer' headlines.
last year, the actor noticed that glands in his neck did not feel right. After hearing his diagnosis from doctors, Neill said his response was pretty stoic, but it prompted him to"take stock of things," and he began writing his memoir to"distract" himself.
He joked that he suspected his publishers wanted him to"hurry" with the book in case he"kicked the bucket" before it was released. He also reassured that while his book discusses his cancer, that's not what the book's about because he"can’t stand cancer books."is"a type of cancer that begins in your lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting immune system. Advances in diagnosis and treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have helped improve the prognosis for people with this disease.
In an interview with The Guardian, the 75-year-old said he’s not afraid to die but would like to get in another couple decades of life if he can."We’ve built all these lovely terraces, we’ve got these olive trees and cypresses, and I want to be around to see it all mature," he said."And I’ve got my lovely little grandchildren. I want to see them get big."
