Evel Knievel's Fight for Life
The iconic daredevil has liver cancer. Doctors say he's got three to six months to live, unless he receives a liver transplant.
"Three years ago, the doctor diagnosed five years," Knievel, 59, tells Associated Press. "But now it's just crept up on me so fast..."
Invasive hepatitis C did in Knievel's owned-and-operated liver. He thinks he contracted the disease from a blood transfusion. Doesn't know which one. Knievel broke a lot of bones, needed a lot of transfusions.
He was diagnosed with the disease three years ago.
"It hits you hard, saps your strength, gives you a fever," Knievel says. "I've had to spend up to a week at a time in bed because I have no energy at all."
Still, the motorcycle man, on a career upswing, did his best to keep up appearances. Recent months saw him guest on Comedy Central, negotiate to do commercials for Virgin Cola, and receive an all-star party tribute from a New York fashion magazine.
Hollywood wanted a piece of the hip-again Evel, too. Matthew McConaughey was reportedly signed to star as Knievel in the man's third big-screen biopic, Pure Evel. (Filming's set for summer.)
But now, getting a new liver is Knievel's priority. He says he has lost 15 pounds in recent weeks--down to 165. He wears a beeper, waiting for the call that a new organ's available.
"I absolutely need a new liver as fast as I can get it," he says.
Knievel retired from stunt work in 1981, after about 35 broken bones, 14 surgeries, one coma, countless crashes and one failed crack at Snake River Canyon.
