Stanley Tucci says he almost couldnt endure the crippling side effects from his oral cancer treatments.

The actor, 62, detailed his brutal experience battling cancer during NBCs Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist, where he described the awful reactions his body had to his life-saving care.

It took months and months and months for me to finally be able to eat again and then taste properly again, the renowned foodie added.
