Overview
- Campbell told The Adam Carolla Show that his doctor has given him an approximate five-year prognosis and he described that estimate as "give or take."
- He first disclosed his cancer diagnosis in March and then said the disease is treatable but not curable.
- Campbell has not named the type of cancer he is facing, saying he will not go down exhaustive online or group research into outcomes.
- He described the diagnosis as mentally disruptive, calling his experience a "whack-a-mole life" and stressing that the psychological effects worry him as much as the medical ones.
- Campbell is pressing ahead with an 18-date Alamo Drafthouse tour to promote Ernie & Emma, a choice he says helps him focus on living and working rather than on the illness.
