Nearly three months after missing the Dawson’s Creek reunion, James Van Der Beek sat down with Today‘s Craig Melvin to give an update on his cancer battle, family life, and more. “I feel a little bit better every month. It’s required more of me, more patience, more discipline, more strength than I knew I had,” the actor shared in a prerecorded package on the Friday, December 19, episode of Today. “I knew I was strong. I didn’t know I was this strong.” Van Der Beek announced in November 2024 that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. While the diagnosis shocked him, it also gave him a new perspective on life.
