“Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell is opening up about his battle with cancer, revealing that he’s been given about five years to live.
Back in March, Campbell revealed he had been diagnosed with a cancer that was “treatable but not curable.”
“These days, when someone is having a health issue, it’s referred to as an ‘opportunity,’ so let’s go with that — I’m having one of those,” he wrote on X in March. “It’s also called a type of cancer that’s ‘treatable’ not ‘curable.’ I apologize if that’s a shock – it was to me too.”
Campbell didn’t go into detail about what type of cancer he’d been diagnosed with, but wrote that “professionally, a few things will have to change. Appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment. My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie ‘Ernie & Emma’ this fall.”
On Wednesday’s episode of “The Adam Carolla Show,” Campbell opened up more about his diagnosis and treatment while also discussing his new movie.
