Уильям Шетнер раскрыл семейную тайну спустя 50 лет после двойного диагноза рака

William Shatner admits 50-year family secret will out after double cancer bombshell The Star Trek legend said a lie was kept up for half a century. William Shatner has promised a family secret kept for 50 years will come out in a new episode of his podcast – after revealing both he and his daughter had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The Star Trek legend, 95, battled Stage 4 melanoma just months after his daughter Melanie Shatner Gretsch was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer aged 61. Both stars underwent chemotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy and are now both in remission – despite the cancer spreading to William’s lungs and brain. Now the pair have taken to Bill’s podcast No Time But Now to discuss their battles – and a huge secret emerged. He tweeted: “I’ll tell you a cute story. This afternoon I recorded another episode of my podcast with my three daughters. The topic was how families deal with cancer diagnoses, but it changed to reminiscing about the past. “One of my daughters revealed to her sister a secret she’s kept from her for over 50 years! For 50 years she lied to her! “And it all came out on the podcast. I don’t want to spoil the story but I think you are all going to enjoy this future episode,” he wrote with a winking and cry-laughing emoji. It comes months after Bill confessed to People Magazine that he faced a cancer battle in 2022, admitting: “I went to an oncologist... and they operated almost immediately with Stage 4 melanoma." Melanie became convinced she was close to dying during treatment, but says now that the experience “changed my life, all for the better”. She said of her famous dad: “He gets more joy out of seeing a bird fly past his window and is more aware and has taught my sisters and I to be so aware of the sunrise and the blue sky."
