Actor Tom Alter diagnosed with stage four skin cancer

Upset over "factually incorrect" stories about his father suffering stage four bone cancer, Jamie told IANS over phone: "It is what is called a squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer). It is a relapse of the same thing which had happened last year and unfortunately, for various reasons, it was not detected at that time and has come back." 

Last year, Tom Alter had to get his thumb amputated due to the condition.
