Ryan O’Neal Has Prostate Cancer

April 14, 2012 / Posted by: Michael K

Woe is Ryan O’Neal AGAIN and this time it’s not his fault. Ryan has had leukemia, been arrested with his son for meth possession, has a fucked up relationship with all of his children and now he’s battling stage 4 prostate cancer. Stage 4 cancer sounds like some beyond serious shit, but Ryan tells People that he’s undergoing treatment right now and he’s not going to take a ride on Farrah Fawcett’s angel hair wings anytime soon. According to Ryan, he’s going to fully recover.

“Recently I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Although I was shocked and stunned by the news, I feel fortunate that it was detected early and according to my extraordinary team of doctors the prognosis is positive for a full recovery.

I am deeply grateful for the support of my friends and family during this time, and I urge everyone to get regular check-ups, as early detection is the best defense against this horrible disease that has afflicted so many.”

Ryan also said that he has a book coming out May 1st.

Never mind that the phrases “early detection” and “stage 4 cancer” don’t normally go together, this news come just days after Ryan shaded our earth God Oprah by blaming her for the failure of his reality show on her network. And now Ryan has cancer. Oprah, YOU WOULDN’T!?
