James Van Der Beek's cancer is taking a physical toll... But he's still fighting with everything he's got. On Monday, the Dawson's Creek cast, including Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson, and others gathered for their first reunion in 22 years. James himself was supposed to be a part of the event, at the Richard Rogers Theatre in New York City. In fact, his battle against stage 3 colorectal cancer is what brought the show together in partnership with the F**k Cancer benefit. But he unfortunately had to pull out at the last minute due to a stubborn bout with stomach viruses.
