We remember the stars who were able to defeat the terrible disease.
These stars, by their example, prove that even such a terrible disease as cancer can be completely cured. The main thing is to check regularly with doctors and diagnose the disease in time.
Michael Douglas
In August 2010, doctors diagnosed Michael Douglas cancer of the larynx, finding in his tongue a tumor the size of a walnut. The actor had to undergo a course of chemotherapy. As a result of treatment, he sank and lost a few pounds, but in December he completely recovered and started working.
Robert DeNiro
In 2003, a 60-year-old actor was diagnosed with prostate cancer, fortunately, at an early stage. With the help of radical prostatectomy, doctors were able to cure De Niro, and he immediately after the recovery began shooting the movie "Playing hide and seek".
Jane Fonda
Learning that she had breast cancer, Jane Fonda was not scared, but collected her will into a fist and prepared for a long treatment:
"It was even interesting, as if you were embarking on an exciting journey. I understood: either I, or me. She hoped to recover, but she was not afraid of death "
The actress was operated on and the disease receded.
Cynthia Nixon
When the actress was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was not very surprised, because her mother and grandmother at one time went through this disease. Cynthia underwent surgery and prescribed a course of radiation therapy, as a result of which the cancer was defeated. The actress believes that everything ended so well only because the disease was identified at an early stage, and encourages all women to undergo a regular mammogram.
Christina Applegate
The star of the movie "Married, with children" removed both of the mammary glands after she learned that she had breast cancer. She decided on such a radical measure to avoid a possible relapse. However, soon the doctors installed her breast implants, and Christina still looks amazing. Three years after the operation, she gave birth to a daughter.
Kylie Minogue
When in 2005, an Australian singer learned that she was sick with cancer, she at first could not believe in this terrible diagnosis:
"When the doctor said that I have breast cancer, the earth left me under my feet. It seemed to me that I was already dead ... "
The most famous Australian has undergone chemotherapy and completely revised her diet. A year later, completely cured, she again came on the scene.
Laima Vaikule
In 1991, a terrible diagnosis was delivered to singer Laima Vaikule. Forecasts were disappointing: doctors warned the star that the probability of recovery is only 20%, but a strong woman could completely defeat the disease.
Sharon Osborne
During the filming of the series "Family Osbourne" Sharon was diagnosed with colon cancer. Despite the fact that the survival forecast for her was only 40%, the brave woman continued to star in the series. The whole family was very worried about Sharon, and her son Jack even attempted suicide. But in the end, the disease receded. In 2011, Sharon, on the advice of doctors, removed both breasts, which predicted a high probability of developing breast cancer.
Vladimir Levkin
The ex-soloist of the group "Na-Na" was diagnosed with cancer of the lymphatic system, because of what he had to spend a year and a half in the hospital. After a very complicated operation, the musician went on to recover and completely recovered. Doctors call his recovery a real miracle.
Rod Stewart
In 2000, Rod Stewart joined the fight against thyroid cancer and emerged from it as a winner. He remembered the process of treatment with humor in his autobiography:
"The surgeon removed everything that needs to be removed. And thanks to this chemotherapy was not needed ... Let's say the truth: in the rating of threats to my career, hair loss would be in second place after losing the voice "
Dustin Hoffman
In 2013, it became known that the 75-year-old Dustin Hoffman underwent surgery. The press service of the actor reported that he had been diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, the disease was identified at an early stage, and after the operation, the actor quickly went on to recover.
