Pamela Anderson Recalls 'Death Sentence' Hepatitis C Diagnosis
She said the diagnosis shaped her decisions and that treatment later cost her savings before she was cured in 2015.
- At the Gala in Venice on Sunday, Pamela Anderson revealed a doctor gave her "around 10 years to live" when diagnosed with hepatitis C in the late 1990s, calling it a "death sentence."
- The diagnosis "corrupted" her decision-making skills, Anderson said, as she feared for the future of her sons, Brandon, 30, and Dylan, 28, rather than her own mortality during that period.
- Anderson remained "haunted" by "shame and guilt" over the infection until accessing a 2011 cure in 2015, which depleted her entire life savings to obtain treatment.
- Using the experience to fuel her career resurgence, Anderson has "finally come to terms" with the past and appeared in films including "The Last Showgirl."
- Honoured with the Award of Courage at the Gala, Anderson declared she is "not a victim, I'm a victor," emphasizing she now feels stronger and more capable than ever.
