Actor Bruce Campbell has revealed that his doctors have given him a prognosis of about five years to live following his cancer diagnosis in March. Campbell shared his update on "The Adam Carolla Show" on Wednesday, but made it clear he intends to live with his illness rather than die from it. He told host Adam Carolla that the prognosis is "five years to live, give or take."
Campbell's oncologist did not disclose the type of cancer he has, but told Carolla that his diagnosis was "a five-year deal." The "Evil Dead" star said he is determined to be around for some time despite the diagnosis. Campbell noted that the cancer diagnosis has affected him more mentally than physically, telling Carolla that it "messes with your head too."
He described cancer as "a whack-a-mole life, literally," explaining that it compromises parts of his body, requiring him to address each issue individually while waiting for the next one to arise. Campbell is currently touring his latest film, "Ernie & Emma," on an 18-date run at Alamo Drafthouse locations that began in Los Angeles on Friday and concludes on Nov. 14 in Littleton, Colorado.
