Marilu Henner Knew Failure Was 'Not an Option' After Husband's Bladder & Lung Cancer Diagnosis
In honor of lung cancer awareness month, Marilu Henner and her husband are sharing his inspiring battle.
Henner, former star of the hit sitcom Taxi, and her husband Michael Brown appeared on Megyn Kelly Today on Tuesday, when they discussed his 2003 diagnosis with bladder cancer — followed by a lung cancer diagnosis two months later.
“In the last five to 10 years, with immunotherapy, the ability to harness the body’s own immune system to tackle the cancer through clinical trials, we now have standard therapies that patients can get instead of chemotherapies in many cases — even in lung cancer,” said Dr. Roy Herbst, chief of medical oncology at the Yale Cancer Center. He also urged the importance of screening to detect cancer early on.
