Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell said he has just five years left to live amid his ongoing battle with cancer.
The legendary horror actor gave fans an update on his health during an appearance on The Adam Carolla Show earlier this week. He explained his cancer diagnosis is something that is "treatable" but "not curable."
"In my world, I'm in a five-year prognosis," Campbell said. "The type of cancer I have, which I don't want to get into, the current thing is a five-year deal."
The show's host then asked the 68-year-old actor for clarification, questioning if that meant he had five years left to live.
"Give or take, yeah," Campbell replied.
The actor announced his cancer diagnosis in March of this year, confirming that convention appearances and work in general would "take a back seat to treatment." He added at the time that he was "a tough old son-of-a-bitch" and that he expected "to be around for a while."
During the new interview, Campbell admitted there are plenty of stories of others fighting cancer who outlive their initial timelines, adding that medical technology could become more advanced during his own fight. For him, though, the real battle is "to live with it, not die from it."
"You can go down a massive rabbit hole," he continued. "The cancer rabbit hole is enormous. You can go into focus groups of 10,000 guys who have the exact thing you have. I won't touch it with a 10-foot pole."
