Shatner and Daughter Battle Cancer Together | Canada News

When cancer struck both William Shatner and his daughter Melanie at once—Stage 4 for him, metastatic breast cancer for her—they faced the unthinkable together. William, 95, battled malignant melanoma that spread to his lungs and brain, mistaking a facial growth for a blocked salivary gland. Melanie, 61, discovered HER2-positive breast cancer that had metastasized. Their treatments were brutal: Melanie endured chemo, a double mastectomy, and 30 radiation sessions; William had surgery and two years of immunotherapy. But by late 2024, both were cancer-free—with William even saying he’s healthier than in years. Their shared ordeal forged a deeper bond and inspired them to launch a new podcast, No Time But Now, premiering July 29, a moving testament to resilience, love, and the power of hope.
