reveals in a new interview that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer six years ago and that he underwent surgery to remove it before it inevitably turned deadly.“I thought. well, this is my time. I’m ready to go,” the actor who famously portrayed Kramer on Seinfeld said of the diagnosis. “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.
While most cases of prostate cancer are manageable with increased monitoring and treatment, a biopsy revealed a more aggressive form that required surgery, which his doctor also recommended,“It had to be contained quickly,” Richards added. “I had to go for the full surgery. If I hadn’t, I probably would have been dead in about eight months.
“I was immediately sorry the moment I said it onstage,” Richards told People of the incident while adding, at the age of 74, “I’m not looking for a comeback.” Instead, Richards focused on his memoirs, which are comprised of over 40 journals he kept over the past few decades.'Young Sheldon' Series Finale Breakdown: Why Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik Became a Bigger Part of the Ending, Reba’s Return and When the Spinoff Will Pick UpHeather Rae El Moussa Says Having a Baby Made Her Marriage to Tarek ‘Even Harder’ in Candid New Interview
