"The Evil Dead" star Bruce Campbell announced he's been diagnosed with cancer and will be canceling upcoming appearances. On Monday night, Campbell took to X to share that he has a "treatable" but not "curable" type of cancer. "I apologize if that was a shock — it was for me too," he wrote. "I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change — appearances and cons and work in general need to take [a] back seat to treatment," Campbell continued.

(AA Film Archive) The horror star said he hopes to be well by the summer so he can tour with his comedy movie, "Ernie & Emma," this fall. "There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel," he continued. "Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don't always go hand-in-hand." Campbell kept the rest of his message short and sweet, explaining that he's "not trying to enlist sympathy — or advice." "I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will). Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-b---- and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you’re the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!" Campbell concluded.

FYI PING
SPIDER MAN!!!
I hope for the best for him.
I could not get through, “The Evil Dead”. Now, “Bubba Ho-Tep” is one of my favorites, of course, mostly because of Bruce.
What kind of cancer; and, why don’t these types of stories never mention the cancer type?
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer almost 12 years ago. I’ve responded so well with low level androgen deprivation therapy, my oncologist at MD Anderson tells me I will very likely never die from prostate cancer.
"My Name is Bruce" just popped up on Netflix. Hilarious "B" movie.
I’m a moderator on another forum, and exact image is my avatar.
Yep. Sucks.
If you haven’t seen this one try and find it....it’s an underrated gem IMO.

James 5:14-16
King James Version
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the Elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord:
15 And the Prayer of Faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and Pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent Prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
