Quick summary: This story highlights recent developments related to illness, showing how constructive action can lead to meaningful results.

Jurassic Park star Sam Neill, who’s been battling lymphoma, has spoken out that he’s cancer free and that now “it’s time I did another movie.”

The international A-lister from New Zealand was diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and immediately started chemotherapy as early as March, 2022.

The cancer had already progressed, and he said that it had likely been there since 2021. His chemotherapy was “pretty miserable business” but it was keeping him alive, he told Australia’s 7 News.

“Then the chemo stopped working. I was at a loss and it looked like I was on the way out, which wasn’t ideal obviously.”

That’s when Neill switched from chemotherapy drugs to Car T-cell therapy, a Nobel-Prize winning therapy that has changed the game for the treatment of several cancers.

“I’ve just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body, that’s an extraordinary thing,” he admitted.

Neill says it’s “beautiful” he gets to watch his grandchildren grow up, but as regards the fans of his many fantastic films, he also said he’s eyeing up a Hollywood return.

“It’s time I did another movie,” he said, adding that though the opportunity to work again was exciting, his battle with cancer changed his outlook on what remains of his life.
