Following his victorious battle with cancer, actor Stanley Tucci considers himself extremely fortunate.
The ‘Hunger Games’ star, who was diagnosed in 2017, claimed in a recent interview that he is “extremely blessed” to be alive after his initial scan missed the tumour near the base of his tongue.
“I had a scan done, but it missed it. And, of course, when you suspect something is wrong. You’re also terrified there is something wrong,” Tucci explained.

“It’s a miracle it didn’t spread further.” He told the newspaper, “It had been in me for such a long time.”
The 61-year-old actor was subjected to a 35-day radiation treatment as well as seven rounds of chemotherapy, which left him unable to taste or smell. He was also unable to eat, forcing him to rely on a feeding tube.
