"I'm posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change - appearances and cons and work in general need to take [a] backseat to treatment. There are several cons this year summer [sic] that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don't always go hand-in-hand."
"Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you're the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!"
"I'm not trying [to] enlist sympathy - or advice - I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will)."
Bruce Campbell, the 67-year-old horror icon known for playing Ash Williams in The Evil Dead franchise, announced his cancer diagnosis on social media. He described the condition as treatable but not curable, requiring him to cancel several convention appearances and public events scheduled for summer. Campbell emphasized that treatment must take priority over professional obligations, though he hopes to recover sufficiently by autumn to promote his new comedy film Ernie & Emma, which he wrote, directed, and stars in. He reassured fans of his resilience and strong support system, expressing confidence in his continued presence while requesting privacy and discouraging speculation about his condition.
