“I’m ready to die”: Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill and his transfusion therapy to fight blood cancer

“It terrifies me,” actor Sam Neill described his situation with blood cancer, which he was diagnosed with about a year ago, and the possibility that he will have to leave his career in Hollywood due to the imminent deterioration of his health.

And the translator of Dr. Alan Grant in the “Jurassic Park” franchise, at the age of 76, indicated that he “doesn’t care too much” about suffering from this deadly disease and, on the contrary, is making every effort to stay busy and active, as Vanity Fair reported. .

It is for this reason that the actor has begun to undergo an experimental therapy in which he receives blood transfusions every two weeks at the hospital, which promises to keep his case of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma under control.

For Sam Neill, being diagnosed with blood cancer was a complicated process due to several factors, including the effects of undergoing chemotherapy and a lack of emotional support. “I had some very lonely moments last year,” the actor admitted in a television interview for the Australian Story program, which was conducted at his home in Otago.

And as reported by El Mundo, he divorced Noriko Watanabe in 2017 and is still without a partner, except that it is not known what his relationship is with his children Elena and Tim Neill, as well as with his several grandchildren.

What is certain is that Neill is not afraid of his health deteriorating because he knows it will happen sooner or later. “The thing is, I’m done. Probably die,” he indicated in the interview and then emphasized: “I’m ready to die.”
