Blythe Danner Reveals She’s In Remission From Oral Cancer, Which Is The Same Her Late Husband Bruce Paltrow Had

Blythe Danner is opening up her private battle with oral cancer.

The 79-year-old actress, and mom to Gywneth Paltrow, talked with People about keeping her illness a secret from the public and how unusual it was that it was the same cancer her late husband, Bruce, succumbed to.

“Everyone is touched by cancer in some way, but it’s unusual for a couple to have the same cancer,” Blythe shared, saying that she was diagnosed in March 2018, “I remember I looked up at heaven and said to Bruce, ‘Are you lonely up there?’ It’s a sneaky disease. But I’m fine and dandy now. And I’m lucky to be alive.”

She adds that she discovered “a lump in my neck, right next to where Bruce had found his [in 1999].”

Blythe’s official diagnosis was adenoid cystic carcinoma, a relatively rare form of oral cancer that often develops in the salivary glands.

“I kept it from my kids for a long time,” she says. “I wanted to forge ahead as a mother, and I didn’t want them to worry.”

Gwyneth shared her reaction to her mom’s cancer diagnosis, saying she was “very shocked. It was scary. And it felt really eerie because it was so similar [to my dad’s].”

Blythe went through a radiation and chemotherapy, before having three surgeries done to remove the cancerous tissue.

“She went through it with so much grace,” Gwyneth adds. “I was amazed at how strong she was able to be.”
