Summary
William Shatner, 95, and daughter Melanie Shatner Gretsch said they are both in remission after surviving Stage 4 melanoma and Stage 4 breast cancer, and have launched the podcast “No Time, But Now.”
Gretsch said she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at 60 in 2022 after finding a lump; about a year later, Shatner said doctors operated almost immediately after diagnosing his Stage 4 melanoma.
The pair told People that close family support carried them through treatment, including a night Gretsch called her father believing she was dying and he rushed to her side.
Their shared cancer experience reshaped how they view daily life, they said, and now drives the podcast’s focus on family, joy and living in the present.
