William Shatner has earned success throughout his active career. The actor, best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek series, got the opportunity to travel to space in real life. On the other hand, Shatner\u2019s diagnosis of a terminal illness made it difficult for him to survive to be 90 years old.<\/p>\n

William Shatner, the Star Trek actor, has eight albums to his name and has distinguished himself in the acting and music worlds. Despite his accomplishments, the star\u2019s life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

In an article for NBC, Shatner highlighted how he had led a very fortunate life but had also experienced death in many ways. When he was given a grim prognosis, the celebrity understandably became concerned that his days were numbered.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I was told by a doctor that I had a deadly condition. That I was going to die,\u201d Shatner told NBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure how to react to the news. We were discussing my funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n

The doctor informed me that I had cancer. I reasoned that there had to be an error.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prostate cancer frequently grows slowly, and symptoms do not appear until the prostate is large enough to obstruct the tube that drains urine from the bladder into the penis.<\/p>\n

Shatner\u2019s doctor administered a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test to detect his cancer type. These tests can determine whether cancer seriously threatens one\u2019s life and whether other non-cancerous conditions have led to elevated PSA levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe took my PSA, a marker for this disease, to figure out which sort it was,\u201d Shatner stated of his diagnosis.<\/p>\n

\u201cUp until that time, it was at one or two, well within acceptable ranges. He announced that it was ten. \u2018Aggressive cancer,\u2019 says the doctor. Ten! My own body had deceived me.\u201d<\/p>\n

After being stunned, horrified, and somewhat angry by the prognosis, Shatner\u2019s thoughts rapidly went to the potential of death.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recognized my prognosis; I had drafted my will, which indicated that upon my death, this person would receive this and that person would receive that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On a more emotional level, though, I was convinced I would live indefinitely. I contested it. It meant expressing my will before indulging in a lovely piece of strudel. Death had no meaning for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

After striving to accept life while carrying the gravity of a death sentence, Shatner discovered that testosterone supplements\u2014the very supplements he was taking\u2014might have something to do with prostate cancer in some cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
