Ian Smith's Cancer Treatment Shows Positive Results

Ian Smith, the 86-year-old actor known for his role as Harold Bishop on 'Neighbours,' has shared that his health is improving despite a terminal cancer diagnosis. Initially told he would not survive past March 2025 due to a rare form of lung cancer, pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma, Smith has responded well to immunotherapy, which has significantly shrunk his tumors. In recent interviews, he expressed gratitude for this unexpected extra time and is now contemplating life changes, such as purchasing a new electric car. Smith humorously remarked on his treatment progress, stating, 'That's not what you do if you're going to die in March.' He reflected on his experience, acknowledging the ongoing challenges of living with cancer while emphasizing his determination not to let it define him. Despite his situation, he remains optimistic, saying he is 'defying the odds.'
