Demi Moore says General Hospital made her realize she could 'make it' Demi Moore makes rare Bruce Willis comment “I just finished with all of my scans and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work and that I will be back to myself and feeling good.” Mellencamp first revealed in February that her stage 4 melanoma had spread to her lungs and brain. Despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, doctors initially gave her a 50% chance of survival, she said she's been trying to stay optimistic.
“I’m going to keep a positive outlook because that’s the way my doctor just spoke to me,” she said. “‘You got that Mellencamp blood, so you’re good.’” She said she has two more rounds of immunotherapy left.
“Hopefully, I am done and I will be cancer-free,” she added. DON'T MISS..
