US Edition‘Castle’ Star Susan Sullivan Offers Update on Her Two Cancer Battles
Susan Sullivan, 82, reports her lung cancer is in remission and lymphoma is 'muted'; doctors recommend quarterly infusion therapy but she prefers monitoring.
- Susan Sullivan, 82, told PEOPLE her lung cancer is in remission while her lymphoma remains `muted` rather than fully gone.

- Her doctors recommend quarterly infusion therapy, but Susan Sullivan said, `I would rather see how my body does on its own and do a PET scan in November as opposed to an infusion in August`.
- She recovered quickly, noting she was up and walking five days after surgery and urges older people to work out, highlighting resistance training as essential.
- At 82, Susan Sullivan continues a six-decade career spanning more than 70 shows and TV movies, and her two cancer diagnoses have deepened her compassion, inspiring aging resilience.
