Sam Neill, theJurassic Parkstar and the grown-up Damian in theOmenfranchise, has revealed that the treatment that sent him into a year-long remission from the rare blood cancer angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma will eventually stop working.
Im prepared for that, Neill told theAustralian Storytv program, adding that he is not remotely afraid but finds the whole matter annoying.
Neill also said that despite his health challenges, which include treatments that feel like going 10 rounds with a boxer, retirement, the actor says, is completely out of the question.
