Shatner and Daughter Battle Cancer Together | Portland Maine News
Description
Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, and his daughter Melanie battled Stage Four cancer simultaneously—him with aggressive melanoma, her with breast cancer—and both are now survivors. Melanie revealed the crushing emotional weight of facing her illness while fearing the loss of her father. Shatner’s cancer was initially missed by his own doctor, who told him to just massage a growing lump—until a friend-doctor intervened. Now, father and daughter are launching a podcast called “No Time But Now,” with Melanie saying cancer gave her unexpected gifts—and they’re riding this journey together.
