Tom Hanks: Life Stopped After Rita's Cancer Diagnoses

Actor Tom Hanks has revealed his life stopped when his wife Rita Wilson was diagnosed with cancer.

Rita underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery after she received the news in December last year. She is now cancer free.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: "We all know by now what hell that sort of health crisis is. It just comes along out of the blue and everything else stops because the only thing to do is to drop everything else and pay attention to myriad stuff that needs to be attended to.

"Rita and I are lucky because we can afford the best healthcare in the world, we knew that blessing right off, but while it was happening, all I could do was bow down before the courage of my wife.

"One thing I have noticed through this is that there are people out there in the world who, when they find out you have a certain illness, particularly cancer, they will immediately try to make money off you.

"They do this by pushing some procedures that might have a degree of science to them that might make them accurate, and some others that are complete quackery. Like anything from saying, 'Go to some clinic in Bolivia and they'll cure you', or 'Just go on a diet of peach stones', or something crazy."
