Dolph Lundgren Considered 'Legal Suicide' Curing Depths of Cancer Battle
The actor said a misdiagnosis and grim prognosis left him depressed before treatment ultimately led to recovery.
- On Sept 22, actor Dolph Lundgren released his memoir, Fights Worth Fighting: Finding Strength in Struggle, revealing he considered "legal suicide" in Europe during his cancer battle.
- Lundgren wrote that he felt "depressed and had almost given up all hope" after doctors told him he had only a few years to live following a 2015 kidney cancer diagnosis.
- He discussed "legal suicide" with his brother, Johan, but the plan never progressed after Dr. Alexandra Drakaki discovered in 2022 that he actually had lung cancer, not kidney cancer.
- Following successful treatment, Lundgren announced he was cancer-free in 2024 and now practices "survivorship therapy" to manage PTSD, hoping to inspire others with "their own problems."
- If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. Lundgren aims to use his experience to encourage others facing difficulties.
