James shared his colorectal cancer diagnosis with People, noting his private battle and family support. A common cancer in the U.S., it significantly affects his roles as a husband and father to six children. Due to his treatment, he feels unable to fulfill family obligations, which includes not being physically present for his children and wife. His early announcement was prompted by a potential media leak, but he maintains a hopeful outlook in his journey toward recovery.
I could no longer be a husband who was helpful to my wife. I could no longer be a father who could pick up his kids and put them to bed.
There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good. I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it.
