22 Sep
Summary
- Dolph Lundgren considered legal suicide during his cancer battle.
- Doctors initially misdiagnosed his condition, leading to wrong treatments.
- He was declared cancer-free in 2024 after a new treatment.
Dolph Lundgren, known for his roles in "Rocky IV" and "Universal Soldier," detailed a harrowing near-fatal cancer battle in his memoir, "Fights Worth Fighting: Finding Strength in Struggle."
Initially diagnosed with a kidney tumor in 2015, Lundgren faced recurrence in 2020 with additional tumors found in his liver, leading to a grim prognosis of three years to live.
During intense treatments, Lundgren confessed to considering 'legal suicide,' discussing the possibility with his brother, Johan, who offered to assist him if needed.
However, in early 2022, a new physician discovered Lundgren had been misdiagnosed, actually suffering from lung cancer.
Following a revised treatment plan, Lundgren was declared cancer-free in 2024, marking the end of his arduous health struggle.
