“Jurassic Park” star Sam Neill has said he is cancer-free after almost five years of battling stage-three blood cancer.
At one point, after the chemotherapy stopped working, “I was at a loss and it looked like I was on the way out, which wasn’t ideal obviously,” he continued.
After undergoing a cutting edge treatment, which genetically modifies blood cells, Neill said he is now free of cancer.
“I’ve just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body, that’s an extraordinary thing,” he said.
The actor is even planning to return to the big screen, saying: “It’s time I did another movie.”.
Neill is now advocating for the treatment, CAR T-cell therapy, to be rolled out across his native Australia.
“I’m not afraid to die, but it would annoy me,” Neill said at the time. »
