The iconic former Entertainment Tonight host John Tesh, 73, was told that he might have only 18 months to live after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2015. Now, a little more than a decade later, he provides an update on his treatment.
Television personality John Tesh’s life was turned upside down in 2015 as he was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer. His doctors believed that the tumors could be inoperable, and gave him a shocking verdict for the future.
“I was given 18 months to live. So, I’ve been fighting cancer successfully, still fighting it,” he told PageSix in a new interview. “It’s still under treatment, on and off.”
The former Entertainment Tonight co-host stated that his “rare” form of prostate cancer has become “metastatic.” He explained that while he isn’t in remission, the doctors have control over it, calling it “stable.” Still, John Tesh stated that it’s a “frightening thought.”
“They will let it grow for a little bit and then get me back on treatment, back and forth. It’s called pulsing, and it’s scary until you get used to it because it’s like, ‘Why am I living with cancer?’ ” he told Page Six.
