He battled kidney cancer 20 years ago and says he has considered euthanasia 🙁
Broadcaster James Whale is battling cancer of the brain, spine, kidney, and lungs, after revealing his diagnosis over the weekend – and has said he considered euthanasia.
Recalling his diagnosis on Sunday, he figured he’d simply ‘have to do treatment all over again’ before he was told that, sadly, the cancer had spread further than his kidneys, and that he had small lesions in his brain and lung, in his spine, and in the pituitary gland.James admitted his first reaction was to consider euthanasia, and even planned a trip to Swiss non-profit Dignitas, which provides help with assisted suicide.
The broadcaster was eventually convinced by his son, James, to seek help from the charity Kidney Cancer UK, which he set up after his first battle with the disease in 2000.
