Unfortunately, no one is immune from disease. The information that appeared at the beginning of this year about the terrible illness of the famous Russian singer Zhanna Friske shocked literally everyone: doctors diagnosed a malignant tumor in the ex-soloist of the Brilliant. And until the moment the star's husband made an official confirmation of this, many Runet users simply refused to believe that Zhanna Friske had brain cancer.
I am very pleased that a huge number of Russians did not remain indifferent to the singer's illness.
Currently, we can confidently say that the events that unfolded immediately after this sad news have been confirmed. Everyone wanted to morally and financially support the pop star and her family.
How dangerous is glioblastoma
Medical experts did not deny that Zhanna Friske had brain cancer. The singer was diagnosed with glioblastoma. This pathology refers to primary brain tumors. The specifics of treatment depends on which areas are affected by the disease. If the tumor has arisen in the immediate vicinity of the cerebral cortex and the disease can affect the centers responsible for movement and speech, then the symptoms appear immediately. In this case, the patient often loses consciousness, his coordination of movements is disturbed. In such cases, a person usually immediately runs to the doctor, the pathology in most cases can be stopped at the initial stage, and treatment here can be considered an effective measure.
However, if the malignancy is located in the deep structures of the cerebral hemispheres, then it is often very difficult to visually diagnose.
It should be emphasized that Zhanna Friske has stage 4 brain cancer.
If we talk about primary glioblastoma, then, as a rule, it is not accompanied by metastases. So said one of the doctors of neurosurgery Igor Borshchenko.
Many are still interested in the question of why Zhanna Friske had brain cancer at all. Experts commented on this as well.
Reasons
So, for what reasons could Zhanna Friske get sick with oncology? Doctors' predictions regarding the sources of the disease come down to the following: some argue that the singer's brain tumor appeared as a result of solar radiation. The fact is that the Russian pop star spent a lot of time working in Mexico, and later moved to Miami. Everyone knows that in the USA and "in the homeland of tequila" the bright and burning sun, which could adversely affect the singer's body.
One of the neurosurgery specialistsAndrey Grin informed that in medical practice, patients who underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor often relapse after they went on vacation to warm countries.
Other experts claim that Zhanna Friske's glioblastoma appeared due to the fact that the former soloist of the "Brilliant" abused the use of anti-aging procedures, the meaning of which was to produce stem cells in the spinal canal. Naturally, this increased the risk of developing malignant tumors, which usually occur in several places at once.
Brain cancer Zhanna Friske, probably, could still foresee. There are cases when the disease does not cause any harm to a person at all, and sometimes there are simply “dead end” situations when the doctor is unable to help his patient, and then only one thing remains - to transform the pathology into some kind of remission in order to extend his days at least a little. So said one of the experts in neurosurgery Dmitry Okishev.
The singer did not immediately go to the doctors
As reported by the relatives of the pop diva, she did not immediately seek medical help. In the middle of last year, her headaches became more frequent, she constantly felt drowsy and repeatedly lost consciousness. Only after these alarming symptoms Zhanna Friske began to show concern about her own he alth. She went to the doctors, who diagnosed her with a terrible disease. At the same time, American experts weresure that the singer will not live even two months. Naturally, they did not tell their close relatives about this. However, later their expectations were not confirmed.
Difficult choice of clinic
For Zhanna's relatives, choosing a clinic for treatment was not easy. They took her to Germany, to the USA, as well as to well-known cancer centers in our country. In the end, it was decided to treat the singer in New York.
The current he alth status of the singer
The diagnosis of Zhanna Friske shocked not only her family and friends, but the entire Russian public. The singer's colleagues "in the shop" did their best to help her, and even took part in the fundraising campaign that was required for treatment abroad. The fact is that it was impossible to delay with him, because suddenly Jeanne's eyesight worsened, and she herself lost weight dramatically. It was decided to conduct treatment in the United States. Almost immediately, the singer was prescribed a course of chemotherapy, which, of course, had a positive effect on the he alth of the pop star. However, it is still very premature to talk about the complete healing of Zhanna Friske. After the use of medications, swelling appeared on the singer's body, and it is very difficult to recognize the former Jeanne in her.
Positive dynamics
Today, the singer's condition has stabilized, her he alth has improved somewhat, and she is seriously considering the issue of a further treatment strategy. The singer no longer undergoes chemotherapyintends to.
American media reported that the Russian pop diva decided to be treated with an experimental nanovaccine in one of the medical centers located in Los Angeles.
Because she can't see well, she has to wear dark glasses. The reason for the deterioration of the singer's vision is obvious: Zhanna Friske is ill with brain cancer. A malignant tumor, of course, affects the optic nerve. As soon as doctors manage to reduce the affected area, vision will be restored - experts say.
It should be emphasized that doctors already have some progress in this direction. There is a possibility that it is possible to completely "overcome" cancer.
Zhanna Friske's family next to her
Today, next to the singer are the people dearest to her: mother - Olga Vladimirovna, husband - Dmitry Shepelev, son Plato and friend in the musical group "Brilliant" - Olga Orlova. All of them give all kinds of support to the singer.
The singer's father, Vladimir Borisovich, also informed the Russian press that his daughter had refused chemotherapy treatments. As for the new drug, which is specifically designed to combat glioblastoma, only its name is known - ICT-107 and that the vaccine has recently been successfully tested in medical laboratories in Los Angeles.
Opinion of Russian experts
Russian doctors do not believe that it was necessary to send the singer for treatment "abroad", since such vaccines have been created andRussian scientists.
When the public actively discussed what happened to the singer, the capital's oncologists expressed disapproval that Zhanna Friske chose to be treated by their foreign colleagues, reproaching her for her lack of patriotism. According to the chief oncologist of the Russian capital, our country has better treatment, and it's completely free.
In addition to this, experts acknowledged that the developed drugs are experimental, so they are not always used and are not always effective.
