O'Neal said in a statement. "I am deeply grateful for the support of my friends and family during this time, and I urge everyone to get regular check-ups, as early detection is the best defense against this horrible disease that has afflicted so many." The Love Story star has penned a memoir titled Both of Us, due out May 1, about his life with longtime love Farrah Fawcett, who was 62 when she died of anal cancer in 2009.
O'Neal was reportedly in remission when Fawcett started cancer treatments in 2006.
