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 told her she had "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 explained, as she feared for her sons Brandon, 30, and Dylan, 28, rather than fearing death itself during that period.
- Anderson remained "haunted" by "shame and guilt" regarding the infection; she accessed a 2011 cure in 2015 that cost her entire life savings to obtain.
- The actress has "finally come to terms" with the past and channeled the experience into her career, including roles in "The Last Showgirl," while confirming she is now "hep C free."
- Honoured with the Award of Courage at the Gala, Anderson declared "I'm not a victim, I'm a victor," emphasizing she feels stronger and more capable than ever before.
