The famous actor revealed that he and his daughter battled cancer at the same time

Legendary actor William Shatner and his daughter Melanie Shatner Gretsch both fought stage 4 cancer simultaneously, as revealed in a joint interview with People. Melanie was diagnosed in 2022 after discovering a lump in her breast, while Shatner learned he had metastatic melanoma affecting his lungs and brain shortly after her treatment began. Both underwent extensive treatments including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Despite the challenges, they both ultimately overcame their illnesses. Melanie expressed concern for her father’s health during her battle, while Shatner shared how his diagnosis came after Melanie’s treatment was nearing completion. The pair now co-host a new podcast titled 'No Time but Now,' focusing on overcoming cancer. Shatner has since debunked rumors of his death and announced a major career revival, including a concert with his heavy metal band The *uckers at the Riot Festival in Chicago.
