Dolph Lundgren was tired of fighting during one low point in his cancer journey.
The Rocky IV star looked back on his decade-long battle with the disease, sharing that his struggles with depression amid treatment led him to contemplate assisted suicide. In fact, he even detailed a conversation with his brother Johan Lundgren about assisting him through the process.
“When I was deep into the cancer treatments and thinking about the possibility of killing myself, my brother, Johan, was going to help me, because I didn’t know what kind of condition I might be in once I made that decision,” Lundgren wrote in his new memoir Fights Worth Fighting: Finding Strength in Struggle, per Entertainment Weekly. “I could be in really bad shape by then and not capable of completing the suicide on my own.”
“There are countries in Europe, like Switzerland, that permit legal suicide for people who are terminally ill, but I still might have needed someone there to help me,” he continued. “At this point, I was depressed and had almost given up all hope.”
