Michael Richards says he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018.
The “Seinfeld” star opens up about the diagnosis in his new memoir, “Entrances and Exits,” noting he was told he had stage 1 prostate cancer. “I thought, well, this is my time. I’m ready to go,” he said in an interview with People about his reaction when he found out about his condition. “But then my son came to mind just a few seconds later and I heard myself saying, ‘I’ve got a 9-year-old and I’d like to be around for him.
” “Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States,” according to the National Cancer Institute. “Prostate cancer usually grows very slowly, and finding and treating it before symptoms occur may not improve men’s health or help them live longer.” Richards said the experience was a catalyst for him to write a book. He also said he realized he had lived a long life and had a lot to say.
