A terrible tumor is far from what people want to tell others about. Unfortunately, our society has acquired such a terrifying stereotype that it is impossible to cure a cancer at all, and people who have already been diagnosed with it will simply die in 2-3 years. But everyone should understand that cancer is not a death sentence. It is not uncommon for an ordinary person to die because he did not treat an oncological disease in time, and now the stage is already so advanced that nothing can be done. At the same time, the people around him (friends, relatives, neighbors, acquaintances, etc.) watch him suffer, and this does not always last for some short months. It also happened that patients with advanced stages of cancer lived for several years. At the same time, every day they got worse and worse, the doctors said that 2-3 months was their limit. But they didn't give up, they tried to fight. And they managed to resist this disease, because in fact, they could not live more than six months, but they extended their life, although, of course, they suffered a lot. But if theyimmediately went to the doctor, even at the first sign of the disease, they might have been on our list, called "People who beat cancer." They could get rid of the disease, as did the heroes of this article, which you will learn about a little later.
Often cancer survivors are the ones who go straight to the hospital. These are those who discovered in themselves a terrible disease, from which a large number of people have already died, even at the very initial stage. But it is during this period that it is easiest to suppress a tumor in the body. Such people do not disclose the information that they managed to defeat cancer, but it is simply impossible not to tell their family and friends about such a great achievement.
People who beat cancer
Some very famous people in the entertainment industry are also diagnosed with cancer. While the average person would not want to divulge their illness, the world will know about the tumor of this or that celebrity almost instantly. Apparently, the walls really have ears. No one is immune from such a terrible disease, preventive measures simply do not exist. However, doctors do not cease to convince people that cancer is not a death sentence. To defeat this disease is within the power of anyone who only wants very much, who has an incentive to live.
Stars that have overcome the tumor, in fact, a lot. Cancer survivors are strong in spirit. It is necessary to respect those people who not only got rid of the disease, but also told their story to a huge number of ordinary people. Now we'll talk more about celebrities, we'll find outthe stories of our pop stars who defeated cancer, loved by many singers and singers, actors and writers.
Robert De Niro
Robert de Niro was 60 years old when he found out he had cancer. In mid-2003, the man, as usual, went for a preventive examination, as he always monitored his he alth very closely. The tumor had not yet developed, so the doctors did not doubt their predictions a bit and confidently declared that everything would be fine, that there was no danger to life. Doctors gave only the most optimistic forecasts, because the operation awaiting the man ahead was not very difficult.
Robert De Niro had a prostatectomy. This operation is one of the most radical in surgery, and the doctors performed it successfully. A 60-year-old man endured a procedure only performed on people with horrific male prostate growths.
The recovery process itself took place quite actively, quickly and without any complications that could lead not only to the well-known actor not feeling well, but, of course, to death. More than 12 years have passed since Robert de Niro defeated his illness, and the hero continues to act in films. For such a decent period of time, the audience saw this actor in more than 25 films, where he played the main and secondary roles. Now Robert De Niro boldly declares that there is life after cancer.
Daria Dontsova
A very famous writer of detective stories, which, by the way, remain popular evendespite the fact that more than 10 years have already passed since their release, she can also claim that she is very familiar with cancer. For the first time in her life, she faced this disgusting disease a long time ago, more than 10 years ago. In 1998, Daria found out that she had cancer, but this was not the worst news for the writer, because a little later the doctors told her that she had the last (fourth) stage of cancer. This proved the words of one of the doctors: “No more than 3 months left…”
Precisely because Daria nevertheless overcame the fourth stage of the disease, people have been asking for many years how Dontsova defeated cancer. A terrible tumor of the mammary gland simply made the woman afraid … afraid that she would die. At this time, Daria could not think only about her fatal illness, because at that time she already had several children, as well as an elderly mother who needed to be looked after, and in the end, ordinary pets who also needed care. Because of this, Dontsova simply could not die, she began to fight, realizing that her path would not be the easiest. The woman coped with terrible cancer, she overcame him, and the fact that she began to write books helped her in this. She found her favorite pastime - a hobby that she lives to this day.
Angelina Jolie
This young and attractive girl has gone through a lot: more than 5 years ago (in 2007) Angelina Jolie forever broke up with her beloved mother, whose name was Marcheline Bertrand. The mother of the actress died of cancerovaries. This disease came to a woman at the age of 57, when she was already physically unable to overcome its causes. One of the most beautiful girls in Hollywood, Jolie, was very worried about the death of her own mother, but it was too late to do something. After the funeral, the famous lady thought about whether it is possible to beat cancer at all?
But a few years ago, a Hollywood star told the public that she underwent a very difficult operation - a mastectomy. When the lady was tested again (after the surgical intervention was performed), the doctors informed her that her risk of the disease had decreased by more than 80%. Recall that earlier the probability that Jolie will get cancer was almost 90%, that is, there was almost no chance of "bypassing" the disease.
Yuri Nikolaev
In the middle of 2007, the famous TV presenter in Russia, as well as the person who became the founder of the well-known and beloved in all Slavic countries of the competition called "Morning Star", learned the terrible news that he had cancer. And it was colon cancer, which is almost impossible to beat.
This man didn't even think about giving up, he had been battling a growing tumor for over two years. After Yuri found out about his terrible fatal disease, as he himself says, the world suddenly turned into something terrible. He turned into gray-black as if from something colorful and bright.
The disease began to progress, there was little time, but the man did not give up and continued to fight desperately. Yuri Nikolaev believed in God, he was not going to let cancer spoil his plans for the future. Andhe won, he overcame this disgusting disease. Now the TV presenter is absolutely he althy and does not need medical attention, which could not be said then. Unlike other stars, Nikolaev does not trust European medicine, so he was treated in Moscow.
Kylie Minogue
This very famous young pop diva in 2005 went on tour all over Europe, where, in fact, she found out that she had a terrible deadly disease - breast cancer. According to the girl, when the doctor told her that she had a breast tumor, the earth simply began to leave from under her feet. The girl instantly resigned herself to her illness, she thought that she was already dying, but, thank God, she was mistaken. The day after Kylie found out about her diagnosis, the girl canceled all subsequent planned trips and concerts, apologizing to her fans, who had already purchased tickets for the show. Naturally, the lady had to inform the whole world: she is ill, she is mortally ill. They supported the pop star, wished her good luck, and most importantly, he alth. The girl, in turn, promised that she would defeat cancer and return to the big stage to delight her fans. In the end, Kylie Minogue kept her promise. She beat breast cancer and returned to the stage again.
First, the girl survived a long operation to remove part of her breast, and then withstood several courses of radio and chemotherapy at once, after which, in fact, she returned to her work, informing everyone that she got rid of a fatal illness.
Vladimir Pozner
Back in 1993, Vladimir Pozner, a well-known correspondent from the Russian Federation, learned that he had been diagnosed with cancer. Medical workers convinced the man that in his particular case, the disease did not pose any danger to he alth, since the oncological neoplasm was detected at a very early stage. Therefore, we can say that Vladimir was lucky, because he did not need to undergo a course of expensive and painfully long chemotherapy. However, for some reason, the doctors urged the journalist to agree to an immediate operation to remove the tumor.
It was his relatives who played a big role in Vladimir's speedy recovery, who always tried to be there. The Posner family behaved as if everything was in perfect order, as if nothing had happened, and no one had heard of the disease at all. And what did Posner get in the end? Someone does not know how to beat cancer, and someone simply does not think about it. But some people have to overcome a terrible disease, doing it in every possible way. And Posner was able to defeat cancer!
And for more than twenty years, Vladimir Pozner has been living in peace. But he is still undergoing examinations, because he understands that he alth is the main thing!
Charlotte Lewis
Charlotte at the time when she was diagnosed with lung cancer, was a young and charming girl. Looking at her, it was difficult to say that she was sick with a terrible disease, which often leads to death. When the doctor only saw the actress with the previously delivereddiagnosis, he was surprised, because the lady looked very good. Therefore, the doctor decided that this was some kind of mistake, but nevertheless conducted an examination and tests.
Lung cancer is the disease that Charlotte won. More than thirty years have passed since getting rid of the terrible disease. But at one time she was not afraid to refuse chemotherapy. And it was, as we see, the right decision.
Lance Armstrong
This man can easily be called a legend of cycling, because he is a seven-time winner of the famous competition in France called the Tour de France. Lance is one of those individuals who beat cancer, despite the fact that doctors did not give them a chance at all. Doctors diagnosed testicular cancer when the disease had already passed into the last stage, which proved that there was simply no chance of winning.
Then, in 1996, the man gave his written consent to the use of a new very risky method of treating genital cancer, which could easily lead to a variety of troubles and side effects. True self-belief, which, in fact, is inherent in a professional athlete, only helped Lance Armstrong win the most important victory of his life - the victory over cancer. Lance is the kind of person who knows firsthand how to beat cancer.
Iosif Kobzon
The Russian pop singer also once overcame cancer, however, the treatment for such an elderly man did not go as smoothly as, of course, we would like. Exactly 10 years ago, in 2005year, he found out that he was mortally ill. The doctors insisted on an immediate operation, so Kobzon himself went to Germany, where, in fact, a low-quality neoplasm was removed from him. But everything turned out to be much more complicated, because the surgical intervention, performed for good, entailed a number of completely different he alth problems for the artist. After the operation, the man's immunity was so weakened that he could be infected with anything. It should also be noted that after the treatment of the tumor, or rather, its removal, Joseph Kobzon developed a small blood clot in his lungs, and inflammation of the kidney tissue also occurred. Four years later, Kobzon underwent another operation. And to this day, the famous Russian artist continues to be treated, and so far, despite his age, he manages to defeat the disease.
Laima Vaikule
A terrible disease has not bypassed one of the most famous Russian singers - Laima Vaikule. More than twenty years ago, in 1991, in the United States of America, doctors diagnosed the girl with breast cancer. This, as you know, is a very insidious disease that could easily lead to the death of the singer. Since the pathology was discovered by American doctors too late, Laima Vaikule simply had no chance of survival. The singer herself regarded this disease as something important, something more. She is sure that God thus gave her a small impetus to ensure that she once and for all rethink the purpose of her life. Followedlong and intensive treatment of the tumor, but Vaikule nevertheless defeated cancer, immediately after which she returned to her creative activity.
