Default Actor Sam Neill reveals he has blood cancer

[Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has revealed he
has been diagnosed with stage
three blood cancer.
The 75-year-old actor told The Guardian that
writing his memoir gave him a
"reason to live" following the diagnosis.
He said he started writing the book,
called Did I Ever Tell You This?,
as a way to keep busy while receiving
treatment last year.
"I realised it was actually sort of giving
me a reason to live," Neill said.
"I would go to bed thinking:
'I'll write about that tomorrow... that will
entertain me.']


[His book also reportedly discusses his
experience with chemotherapy,
which initially started to fail,
before he began taking a new
chemotherapy drug that he will
take monthly for the rest of his life,
despite now being cancer-free.]
