American actor, Stanley Tucci opened up about his cancer diagnosis and treatments for the first time.
In an interview with Vera magazine, Tucci revealed he was diagnosed three years ago with a tumor at the base of his tongue.
"The mass was too big to operate and could only be treated with high-dose radiation and chemo," he pointed out.

The "Hunger Games" actor had been through a cancer ordeal with his first wife, Kate Spath-Tucci, who battled breast cancer more than a decade ago and passed away in 2009 at the age of 47.
“I vowed I would never do anything like that because my first wife died of cancer and to watch her go through those treatments for years was horrible,” noted Tucci.
The actor uncovered that his treatment at one point involved using a feeding tube.
“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,” he revealed.
Tucci affirmed that his cancer treatment was successful, noting he now feels older from the experience.
