“Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell is opening up about his battle with cancer, revealing that he’s been given about five years to live.

Back in March, Campbell revealed he had been diagnosed with a cancer that was “treatable but not curable.”

On Wednesday’s episode of “The Adam Carolla Show,” Campbell opened up more about his diagnosis and treatment while also discussing his new movie.

“I’m in a five-year prognosis,” he said. “With the type of cancer that I have, which I don’t want to get into, the current thing is a five-year deal.” When Carolla asked if that meant Campbell had five years to live, the actor replied “give or take.”

“It’s a fascinating thing that takes place because [cancer] messes with your head, too. I’ve decided though, pretty specifically, to live with it, not die from it,” he added. “You can go down a massive rabbit hole. The cancer rabbit hole is enormous. You can go into focus groups of 10,000 guys who have exactly what you have. I won’t touch it with a 10-foot pole.”
