Kiwi acting star Sam Neill makes a candid confession about his cancer battle, reflecting on the vigorous treatment that put him through the wringer and his gratitude for another day in remission. Sam Neill admits he had some “grim” weekends amid his cancer battle, but is grateful to be alive. The 76-year-old Jurassic Park actor has been in remission for years after fighting stage three angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma — a form of blood cancer — and has recalled how his treatment would wipe him out every other weekend.
He told the Herald Sun: “It just meant that every second week it was a case of forget about the weekend because that would be a bit grim. “But other than that, it’s great to be alive and working and in beautiful places, like York.”.
