William Shatner and his youngest daughter, Melanie Shatner Gretsch, were both fighting separate stage 4 cancer diagnoses at the same time several years ago. It was a terrifying chapter that the two are only now fully opening up about after both becoming cancer-free.
The pair told People that Shatner Gretsch, 61, was already about a year into her stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis when her father learned that he, too, had cancer.
In June 2023, the Star Trek icon learned he had stage 4 malignant melanoma that had spread to both his brain and his lungs.
"I remember vividly thinking, 'I don't have the strength to take care of myself and lost my father at the same time,'" Shatner Gretsch shared.
She also recalled a time during her chemotherapy treatments when she called her father, telling him, "I think I'm dying."
