The legendary Star Trek captain, William Shatner, spoke candidly about how a brush with death reshaped his outlook on life. He revealed that three years ago, he and his daughter Melanie were both diagnosed with stage four cancer at the same time. He had melanoma, and she had breast cancer. "Through the magic of medicine, we're both cancer-free," Shatner said.
Their shocking diagnoses and incredible recovery have greatly shaped how Shatner views mortality. He said the experience "sharpened our attention to each other and my whole family. And also, what do you want to do with the remaining years?" The two have since launched a podcast together, No Time to Die, built around the reflections that followed their shared health scare.
