“This is just the first time I’ve spoken about it. So if you can save one person’s life who was in my situation then it’s worth it, for sure,” he said.
The 65-year-old actor explained that doctors first found a cancerous tumour in his kidney in 2015.
“Then I did scans every six months. Then you do it every year and it was fine for five years,” he said. “In 2020, I was back in Sweden and had some kind of acid reflux… So I did an MRI, and they found that there were a few more tumours around that area.”
Lundgren underwent surgery to remove six tumours, but soon after discovered another tumour in his liver.
“At that point, it started to hit me that this is kind of something serious,” the actor said. “They did a scan to prepare for surgery. And the surgeon called me and said, ‘No, it’s grown now. It’s too big. We can’t take it out. It’s like the size of a small lemon.'”
At one point, his doctor told him that he should possibly take a break and spend more time with his family, which prompted some tough questions.
“So I kind of asked him, ‘How long do you think I got left?’ I think he said two or three years, but I could tell in his voice that he probably thought it was less,” Lundgren said.
“I thought it was it for sure,” he continued. “You kind of look at your life and going, ‘I’ve had a great life.’ I’ve had a freaking great life. I’ve lived like five lifetimes in one already with everything I’ve done.”
