<p>Actor Sam Neill, best known for his roles in the &#8220;Jurassic Park&#8221; movie franchise, revealed this week that he has been receiving treatment after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of blood cancer.</p>
<p>The 75-year-old <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-64969344">told</a> the BBC that he was diagnosed 12 months ago with &#8220;a ferocious type of aggressive&#8221; stage three non-Hodgkin lymphoma.</p>
<p>Neill said that he decided to write a book to distract him from the diagnosis.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think I had a book in me, I just thought I&#8217;d write some stories. And I found it increasingly engrossing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A year later, not only have I written the book — I didn&#8217;t have a ghost writer — but it&#8217;s come out in record time.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that the toughest part of undergoing chemotherapy was losing his hair. &#8220;More than anything I want my beard back,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t like the look of my face one bit.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not afraid of dying,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What I don&#8217;t want to do is to stop living, because I really enjoy living. I&#8217;ve regarded it as an adventure, quite a dark adventure, but an adventure nevertheless. And the good days are just fantastic and when you get some good news it&#8217;s absolutely exhilarating.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The last thing I want is for people to obsess about the cancer thing,&#8221; he later added, &#8220;because I&#8217;m not really interested in cancer. I&#8217;m not really interested in anything other than living.&#8221;</p>
<p>Neill gave an update about his condition on Saturday morning in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7B76NATGb/?hl=en">post</a> on Instagram, saying that he&#8217;s been &#8220;in remission for eight months.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;My news seems to be all over the news at the moment, and it’s sort of ‘Cancer! Cancer! Cancer!’ which is slightly tiresome because as you see, I am alive and well and I have been in remission for eight months, which feels really good,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I’m alive and kicking and I’m going to work. I’m very happy to be going back to work. We start filming in seven days&#8217; time. I’m doing a thing called ‘Apples Never Fall’ with Annette Bening, and a really wonderful cast.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So here I am, and I just wish the headline wasn’t ‘that thing’ so much, because the main thing is that I have written this book, it’s called, ‘Did I Ever Tell You This?’&#8221; he said. &#8220;And it does mention cancer because that’s the sort of context in which I wrote it. But I didn’t really mean to write a book, I needed something to do while I was undergoing treatment, and I am used to going to work and I suddenly couldn’t go to work. So that’s why I wrote the book, and I have to say there’s been great response to it. People seem to love it, which is great.&#8221;</p>
<p>He later stressed that people should &#8220;not worry too much&#8221; about the cancer news &#8220;because I&#8217;m fine. Okay!&#8221;</p>
