John Hurt, who played The War Doctor in the 50th Anniversary story Day of the Doctor, was diagnosed with the disease last Summer. However speaking at the Man Booker Prize ceremony on Tuesday night in London, he revealed he had recently been given good news by doctors.
I had a final scan and saw my oncologist and it’s all gone brilliantly. I
am overjoyed, I am thrilled. It all looks great for the future, it’s
fantastic.
His agent Charles Macdonald spoke to to BBC Radio Norfolk telling the station that Hurt had a very good meeting with his oncologist.
Sir John has been given very good news by his oncologist but it falls short of an all-clear. Nontheless it's very good news.
The actor, who was knighted in the Queen's New Year Honours list, said
he was wary of using works like remission, even if true. Around 8,800
people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the UK each year, making
it the 11th most common cancer.
It was announced last week that Sir John will reprise his role as The War Doctor, in a new range of audio adventures for Big Finish Productions, the first of which will be released later this year.
