威廉·夏特纳和女儿梅兰妮·夏特纳·格雷奇（Melanie Shatner Gretsch）首度公开了两人共同经历的一段可怕旅程——同时罹患四期癌症。
这位《星际迷航》标志性演员回忆道，三年前他发现身上长了个肿块，医生最初告诉他是唾液腺问题，但一个月后肿块开始变大，于是他请一位当医生的朋友帮忙检查。
医生表示需要切除肿块，这一结论也得到了肿瘤学家的证实。
“癌细胞已经扩散到我的大脑，”夏特纳说，“我的大脑里有很多小光点，还有……我想肺部也有。”
最终诊断为四期恶性黑色素瘤。
“你需要再检查一次”
在现年95岁的夏特纳被确诊的近一年前，他的女儿在乳房上发现了肿块。梅兰妮·夏特纳·格雷奇表示，医生最初在超声检查中未发现任何异常，但她坚信身体出了问题。
“我就是有种预感，‘你需要再检查一次’，”她回忆道。

父女俩都表示，如果当初梅兰妮没有质疑最初的检查结果，她可能已经离世。
“那是一种极具侵袭性的乳腺癌，癌细胞已经突破胸壁，侵入了我的胸腔，”夏特纳·格雷奇解释道。
她接受了数月的化疗、30次放疗、双侧乳房切除术以及为期一年的免疫治疗，期间一直依靠父亲给予支持。
现年61岁的她尤其记得有一晚向父亲求助的场景：“我正处在那种时刻，只想扑进爸爸怀里，就像小时候那样，感觉自己无比脆弱，觉得这场病真的太可怕了。”
夏特纳·格雷奇称父亲是她的“定心丸”。
“他下床开车赶来，给了我一个紧紧的拥抱，”她说，“他对我说，‘这不过是你人生中的一个小插曲，你一定能挺过去的。’”
“我们总会挺过去的”
在这段充满情绪起伏的治疗过程中，夏特纳·格雷奇记得在治疗初期第一次拿到清晰的PET扫描结果时，打电话告诉了父亲。
“这是我这辈子第三次见你哭，”她对父亲说。
对夏特纳而言，保护女儿是身为父亲的本能和直觉。
“有些事我本无力保护，但后来发现我根本不需要保护她，她一定会好起来的，”他说。
如今两人都已痊愈，并将他们的经历分享到了一档全新播客《时不我待》（No Time But Now）中，该播客将于本周三首播，主题涵盖医学、科学与灵性。
“我一直坚信，我们总会挺过去的，”夏特纳说道。
他告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，最初选择隐瞒病情是因为担心会影响自己的工作机会，而他热爱自己的事业。
William Shatner and daughter Melanie recall fighting stage 4 cancer together: “We would survive”

William Shatner and his daughter, Melanie Shatner Gretsch, are opening up about a terrifying journey they shared together — battling stage 4 cancer at the same time.
The Star Trek icon explained three years ago he had a lump that a doctor told him was a salivary gland — but after a month the lump started to grow so he asked a friend who was a doctor to examine it.
He was told it needed to be removed, which was also confirmed by an oncologist.
“It had spread to my brain,” Shatner said. “There were little points of light in my brain and little points of light … I think in my lung.”
The diagnosis was stage 4 malignant melanoma.
“You need to check again”
Nearly a year before Shatner, now 95 years old, was diagnosed, his daughter found a lump on her breast. Shatner Gretsch said her doctor initially did not find anything concerning on her ultrasound, but she said she knew something was wrong.
“Something just said, ‘You need to check again,’” she recalled.

The father and daughter both said Shatner Gretsch would have died if she didn’t question the initial results.
“It was a super aggressive kind of breast cancer, and it had already escaped the breast wall and had gone into my chest,” Shatner Gretsch explained.
She underwent months of chemotherapy, 30 rounds of radiation, a double mastectomy and a year of immunotherapy while leaning on her father for support.
The 61-year-old recalled one night in particular when she reached out to her dad, saying, “I was just in one of those moments where you want your daddy, you know, like you’re little, you’re feeling very little and you’re feeling this is really scary.”
Shatner Gretsch called her dad “a source of calm” for her.
“He got out of bed and drove over here, gave me the bear hug,” she said. “He said to me, ‘This is just a blip in your life. You’re going to get past this.’”
“Somehow we would survive”
Through their emotional journey, Shatner Gretsch remembers getting her first clear PET scan early on and calling her dad.
“It was the third time I heard you cry in my whole life,” she told him.
For Shatner, he said it’s his instinct and intuition as a father to protect.
“Here was something I couldn’t protect and then I didn’t need to protect, she was going to be all right,” he said.
Both are now cancer-free and sharing their journey on a new podcast, “No Time But Now,” that premieres Wednesday and focuses on medicine, science and spirituality.
“I always felt that somehow we would survive,” Shatner said.
He told CBS News he chose not to disclose his diagnosis originally because he was afraid it would impact his ability to find work and he loves what he does.
