James Van Der Beek is offering an update on his cancer journey - and sadly, it's pretty bleak. The Dawson's Creek alum is sadly in the midst of a difficult battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer. He revealed the news last November, informing fans he'd been battling it privately for a little while and that he was taking steps to treat it. Now, nearly nine months later, he has news. During an interview with Today.com published on Wednesday, the 48-year-old revealed: "I'm just on the journey. It's a process. It'll probably be a process for the rest of my life." Wow... We hope he overcomes it.
