Stanley Tucci’s secret cancer battle
Words:  Lindset KupferProducer: Bianca Mastroianni
Stanley Tucci has revealed he quietly battled cancer three years ago.
Doctors found a tumour at the base of his tongue that was too big to operate on, so they had to use high-dose radiation and chemo to remove it.
“
[Cancer] makes you more afraid and less afraid at the same time. I feel much older than I did before I was sick. But you still want to get ahead and get things done. 
Stanley Tucci
After losing his first wife, Kate Tucci, to breast cancer in 2009, he hoped he would never have to go through the kind of treatments she endured.
“I’d vowed I’d never do anything like that, because my first wife died of cancer, and to watch her go through those treatments for years was horrible.”
In January 2021, Tucci opened up about losing her, saying: “You never stop grieving.”
Tucci said the cancer is unlikely to return. But it was still a hard time for his children.
“
The kids were great, but it was hard for them. I had a feeding tube for six months. I could barely make it to the twins’ high school graduation.

Tucci is the father to twins, Nicolo and Isabel, and daughter Camilla with Kate. He also has two younger children, Matteo and Emilia, with current wife Felicity Blunt.
