Stanley Tucci reveals he was treated for cancer three years ago

The Hollywood Reporter

The CNN star told Vera magazine he was diagnosed with a tumor at the base of his tongue, which “was too big to operate” on, leaving the actor with the options of “high-dose radiation and chemo.” “I’d vowed I’d never do anything like that, because my first wife died of cancer, and to watch her go through those treatments for years was horrible,” Tucci said.
