Sharon Osborne
TV presenter, 64 years old
Sharon Osbourne, wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and heroine of reality TV "Osbourne", faced cancer in 2002. Viewers watched on the air as Sharon and her family confronted one of the most dangerous species cancer - bowel cancer (colorectal, CRC). Today, this type of cancer has already reached the second place in mortality among Russians, the early stages are usually asymptomatic, and the disease is usually detected too late.
In Sharon's case, the doctors made a sad prognosis: the probability of survival is no more than 30%, since the tumor managed to hit the lymph nodes. But that couldn't make Sharon fold her arms. On the contrary, she actively took up treatment and did not interrupt the shooting of the show because of him. Shortly after the diagnosis, surgery was performed to remove the tumor and lymph nodes. As it turned out, the metastases spread beyond the intestine, so after the operation, a course of chemotherapy was needed.
The disease was defeated, Sharon no longer faced the problem of cancer, but a few years later she underwent surgery to remove her mammary glands to eliminate possible risks.
As in Russia and in the United States, bowel cancer is the second most common cancer. Developing imperceptibly and asymptomatically, colorectal cancer is often detected at a later stage, when it is already difficult or impossible to help the patient. Intestinal cancer poses a particular threat at the age of 40.
Svetlana Surganova
Singer, 48 years old
Rock musician Svetlana Surganova faced bowel cancer when she was not yet 30 years old. Although the diagnosis was made in the second stage, the singer struggled with the disease for eight years. A pediatrician by training, Svetlana herself felt that something was wrong with her body. The symptoms manifested themselves as in the textbook, but the singer hesitated to see a doctor. And only a sudden unbearable pain forced her to go to the hospital.
The doctors did not give the artist any guarantees ... cancerous tumor sigmoid colon, doctors were forced to make a hole in abdominal cavity, bring out the tube and attach to the stomach a pouch with which I had to live and perform for several years. Only the fifth abdominal operation helped Svetlana return to normal life.
Remembering that nightmare, Svetlana urges everyone to be attentive to their health and visit doctors on time. The singer realized that "you need to check your body, despite the unpleasant procedures." In this they will definitely agree with her medical experts: proven that thanks to early diagnosis 9 out of 10 patients can be saved from developing bowel cancer. Screening colonoscopy is recognized as the most effective method for diagnosing colorectal cancer today. With age, the risks of colorectal cancer increase, and at the age of 40, doctors definitely recommend undergoing the procedure. Further, colonoscopy should be done at least once every 5 years.
Anastacia
Singer, 49 years old
Anastacia's story has two victories. In 2003, the singer decided to do a breast reduction: a size 5 bust brought a lot of inconvenience. Before plastic surgery, it was necessary to pass standard tests, including mammography. Then breast cancer was discovered. After a course of chemotherapy, the disease subsided, and Anastacia began to recover from a difficult ordeal - she not only lost weight, but also lost her voice. Ten years later, the disease came again. And because of this, the singer had to postpone the It’s A Man World Tour. This time, the singer decided to have a mastectomy (removal of the mammary gland) so that the disease would no longer have a chance to catch her by surprise again.
“After cancer, I became stronger, more inspired, even more beautiful and feminine! In addition, I was taught from childhood to be firm, so I went through the tests with a smile, ”said Anastacia.
The spread of oncological diseases is rapidly increasing, mortal danger lies in wait for everyone. However, many, having entered the struggle with this disease, overcome the paralyzing fear and come out of it as winners ... "TN" reminds of some idols of the public who, faced directly with such a terrible disease, either won a victory over it, or continue to remain in the midst of a fight. when its outcome is still unknown ...
Dmitry Hvorostovsky
Dmitry Hvorostovsky's illness became known in 2015. Suffering from constant headaches, the singer underwent a medical examination, which resulted in a diagnosis: a malignant brain tumor. At first, he did not make this information public, but later on his pages in social networks he spoke about what had happened and assured that he did not intend to give up, but, on the contrary, would fight with all his might. "Hope" is now my most vital word! .. As they say, I will still play checkers! " - wrote Dmitry.

After going through several courses of chemotherapy (in the UK, since he has been living in London for a long time) and barely recovering from them, Hvorostovsky resumed his concert activity, again began to appear on stage. Unfortunately, the disease has not receded yet, and the fight with it continues. As the performer wrote, addressing his fans and explaining the impossibility "in the foreseeable future" to participate in opera productions: "I have problems with the balance ... therefore, it is quite difficult for me to perform." The immune system is too weakened, which causes many risks - even a mild cold can lead to irreversible consequences. But the singer doesn't give up. Having overcome pneumonia, he continues to stand firm.
Fortunately, Hvorostovsky has tremendous support: both from countless admirers of his talent from all over the world, and from friends and relatives. His wife Florence, a singer and pianist of Italian-Swiss origin, gives him a particularly powerful charge of so much needed positive emotions and positive energy. This is the second wife of Dmitry Alexandrovich.
His first, eight-year marriage (with the ballerina of the corps de ballet Svetlana, who died two years ago) fell apart, according to the singer, because he “does not forgive betrayal”. In 1996, the couple became the parents of twins: Alexandra and Danila, in addition, Dmitry adopted his wife's child, Maria.

The singer's family life with Florence has been going on for 16 years, the couple have two children: son Maxim (2003) and daughter Nina (2007). As one of Hvorostovsky's friends said, “in the period before meeting with Flosha, Dima was confused, depressed, and his new love turned him into another person - happy, with burning eyes. Flosha takes care of him, protects him. "
Alexander Belyaev

He spoke about the shock he experienced when the doctors acquainted him with the diagnosis, stressing that oncology had developed against the background of type 2 diabetes. About how he immediately quit smoking "not because it is dangerous to health, but because he simply could not smoke." About two terrible losses over the past two years that I had to endure (mother and wife of Belyaev died of cancer). About the urgent request, addressed to his son Ilya, to immediately undergo a medical examination. And about the conclusions I came to: “Only with age did I realize that health should be taken care of. And it is imperative to see doctors in advance, without waiting for the development of the disease. Especially if someone in the family has encountered such a problem. "
Alexander Buinov
Singer Alexander Buinov, having heard in 2011 the doctor's conclusion: "You have a tumor," initially did not fall into pessimism. Despite the fact that long before that, while discussing with his wife Alena the hypothetical possibility of a dangerous disease, by his own admission, he told her that as soon as he felt weak and helpless, he would shoot himself - "like Hemingway!" However, in reality, he took the medical opinion on the need for surgical intervention with restraint and calmly went to the operation (removal of the prostate gland) at the Moscow Oncological Center named after V.I. Blokhin. Then he joked: "Something was cut off to me, but still I have complete order in the male part." Subsequently, undergoing courses of the necessary treatment, the singer did not even cancel the performance. It happened that injections were given to him just before going on stage.

During the most difficult period, Buinov, as he said, felt tremendous support, care and love from everywhere. And, first of all, from his wife, who selflessly fought for him. At the same time, he stated: "Everyone was worried about me, except ... myself." Explaining the reasons for this indifference, he formulated four factors. Firstly, Alexander considers himself a fatalist, and therefore declares: "Everything that fate has prepared, any life blows, I take for granted - calmly and with gratitude." Secondly, he is convinced that any illness is a punishment for previous sins: "There is a reason, enough of them have accumulated in my entire life, so it never occurred to me to feel sorry for myself." Thirdly, Buinov followed the example of his father - a military pilot, a front-line soldier: "Dad often said that one should believe only in the surgeon's scalpel, and not in some pills." And, finally, fourth: Alexander Nikolaevich did not allow himself to become limp: “Yes, this is an unpleasant thing, but I did not feel dying. For some reason I was sure: everything will be fine. "
Laima Vaikule
In 1991 she was on the verge of death and. Breast cancer was discovered in America - at a stage that left minimal chances of survival. As doctors said: even after surgery, only 20 percent of patients manage to avoid death. But the singer did not give in to the disease. Although it was not easy for her, and primarily because it required a colossal internal readjustment. “Dying is scary, I know for sure, because I went through it. But it's much easier when you believe. Vera helps, ”she once admitted. And she said that it was precisely such a difficult test that made her rethink a lot in life and look at many things in a new way.

Emmanuel Vitorgan
Emanuel Vitorgan was struck by the tragedy of lung cancer in 1987. The operation to remove the malignant tumor went well. But the actor found out about his diagnosis only after its completion. Prior to that, her husband, actress Alla Balter (died of cancer in 2000), hid the true disease from her husband, even persuaded the doctors to hide this information from him. Therefore, Emmanuil Gedeonovich was sure that he had tuberculosis, amenable to simple treatment. And when the truth was revealed, he said to his wife: “I can't imagine how I would have survived this, after that it is difficult to find an incentive to live. If I knew the real state of affairs right away, I would have been left with bare nerves. And so I did not think about the disease and did not doubt that I would get on my feet. " Subsequently, the artist admitted that he coped with the disease and fully recovered thanks to the love and care of his beloved wife. “Having woken up after anesthesia, I saw a smiling Allochka, who said:“ Hello, I love you! ” And he was happy. For such a moment it was worth fighting for life. "

A sinister illness intervened in Andrei's life in the midst of preparations for the wedding ceremony with his beloved Diana Ochilova. In this regard, the bride changed her pre-wedding chores to taking care of her groom's recovery. And she succeeded a lot in this. As Andrei admitted, it was love that helped him not to give in to his illness, to return home as a winner and still carry out his plan - to marry his girlfriend. "We are happy and thank all the powers of Heaven for this!" - said the newlyweds. In addition to changes in his personal life and physical recovery, the actor underwent internal changes - he began to be very active in helping people in need. "Now it is difficult for me to pass by someone else's grief," he admitted.
Darya Dontsova
The writer (real name Agrippina Arkadyevna) learned about the presence of breast cancer in the fourth - last stage in 1998. The oncologist's prognosis "maximum three months of life" was ruthless and did not leave an ounce of hope. Nevertheless, the 46-year-old woman did not give in to panic. Although there were enough reasons. “I have three children in my arms, an elderly mother, mother-in-law, a cat, dogs, which means that it is simply impossible to die. Therefore, I did not feel the fear of death, ”the author of bestselling detective stories told about her mood of that time.

Without complaints or groaning, she began treatment - repeated hardest operations, chemotherapy courses and countless procedures. Stoically endured all the suffering. Instead of complaining about her bitter fate, she began writing her first novel right in the hospital bed - which gave the start to Daria Dontsova's long life as a writer. And the disease, having resisted, gradually backed down and eventually left its victim alone.
By her example, the writer gives hope for recovery to every person suffering from cancer. Having experienced all the torment on herself, having overcome all the circles of hell, she has the right to instruct pessimists: “If you give yourself the instruction that life is not over, it will not end. Yes, you can feel sorry for yourself, but only the first two hours, no more. And then wipe the snot and realize: this is not the end, but there is a long treatment ahead. And it will lead to results. Cancer can be cured. "
Mikhail Zadornov
At present, 69-year-old Mikhail Zadornov is struggling with cancer in an extremely painful way. In 2014, he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, according to doctors, deeply embedded in the brain. As the satirist-writer admitted on social networks: “Unfortunately, in the body, a very serious ailment is found, which is characteristic not only of age. It is necessary to treat immediately. " According to media reports, the humorist was made surgery to remove education. The attempt was unsuccessful. Chemotherapy courses followed. Unfortunately, in recent years, the state of health of Mikhail Nikolaevich has deteriorated sharply. Due to the severity of the disease, the satirist was forced to cancel all tours, concerts, but it is known that, despite the acute pains, he continues to work on the script for the film "Once Upon a Time in America, or a Purely Russian Tale."

German doctors (part of the treatment Zadornov took place in Germany), came to the conclusion that they could not help their patient anymore. And he decided to return to Latvia, to his summer cottage in Jurmala, located on the shores of the Riga Sea. The press wrote that Mikhail Nikolaevich completely refused the services of medicine, since no medical actions bring improvement. It was even reported that he said goodbye to loved ones, primarily to his former wife Velta and current Elena. And yet people who love the legendary wit, believe in him, in the strength of his spirit, hope for a miracle, and thereby prolong the life of the comedian.
Joseph Kobzon
Since 2002, Joseph Kobzon has been overcoming a severe illness. According to the singer, it was then that the disease made itself felt for the first time, manifesting itself first in a feeling of constant malaise and weakness. After the examination, the doctors delivered a verdict: prostate cancer, the prognosis was disappointing. The diagnosis was perceived by the artist as hopeless.
In 2005, Joseph Davydovich made public information that he had oncological disease and confidently declared his imminent death and the desire to spend the remaining days with his family. “I don't have much left,” he stated, “oncology is incurable.” And he made a will. However, Nelly's wife did not share her husband's pessimistic mood and, showing remarkable perseverance, managed to reconfigure him.

Kobzon was operated on more than once and was subjected to radiation and chemotherapy sessions. The first surgical intervention could be fatal - the artist fell into a coma and was in this state for 15 days. The next most difficult surgical operation to remove the tumor took place at a clinic in Germany. However, after such an overload, the body failed: immunity dropped sharply, a blood clot formed in the pulmonary vessels, pneumonia began, an infectious process arose in the kidneys. Later, German surgeons performed a second operation. Having completed successfully, she still gave complications - in the form of fainting, provoked by the developing anemia. In Astana, at the World Forum of Spiritual Culture, the singer fell unconscious right on the stage. After he regained consciousness, he tried to continue his performance, but again lost consciousness, and was recovering already with the help of the ambulance team - the doctors gave him artificial respiration.
Subsequently, Kobzon underwent surgery again, this time in Russia. Then he underwent treatment in various clinics - in particular, in Milan, using all the latest techniques and procedures based on state-of-the-art medical technologies.
As a result, the disease receded. Although the artist's treatment and control of his health continues to this day. “He has such willpower, character and desire for life that he outwitted death,” the doctors said about him. Currently, Joseph Davyzhovich, to the delight of the members of his large family (he has two children: son Andrei, daughter Natalya, as well as five granddaughters and two grandchildren) and fans, remains fully capable, is still optimistic and continues to lead an active creative life.
Boris Korchevnikov
The artist, who became famous for his participation in the series "Kadetstvo", as well as TV presenter Boris Korchevnikov, handing the wheel of the talk show "Live" into the hands of his colleague from a rival channel Andrei Malakhov, admitted in front of the cameras that for two years he has been fighting against a brain tumor.

According to the 35-year-old TV presenter, when he did not yet know what kind of tumor it was and how quickly it was growing, he began to think "about the number of days left before death and the intention to devote them to preparing for death." He also spoke about the complex operation he had undergone to remove a benign mass in the region auditory nerveand partial hearing loss caused by this. Subsequently, the media wrote that it was for this reason that the presenter resigned from the Rossiya channel, but Boris refused this version in his comments. Having switched to work for the Spas TV channel, he claims that overall he feels well. At the same time, he considers that for full recovery it takes much more time, so while it continues to remain under the control of doctors.
Svetlana Kryuchkova
Having celebrated her 65th birthday in June 2015, Svetlana Kryuchkova decided to undergo a medical examination due to her deteriorating health. It revealed a dangerous disease - lung cancer, and in a late stage. Domestic doctors admitted that they are powerless in this situation. As the actress said in one of the TV programs: “I went abroad for treatment, because in Russia they first missed my diagnosis, and then refused to treat. In our country, if the stages of the disease are not the first, they refuse from cancer patients, and there they fight to the end. " And often, as practice shows, it is successful. In any case, for the actress, the treatment in a German clinic turned out to be effective: her state of health improved, which allowed her, after recovery, to start her favorite work and re-enter the BDT stage.

The funds for the expensive treatment of the actress, who shone in the films "Big Change" and "Liquidation", were allocated by colleagues in the theater, charitable foundations, and also fans.
According to Svetlana Nikolaevna, the roots of her disease stretch from her youth - from mercury poisoning: she lived for seven years in an apartment located above the warehouse, where a huge amount of this poisonous liquid metal was stored, some of which was spilled. Reflecting on the question: "For what sins did you receive a punishment in the form of oncology?" - the actress replies: "Obviously, for too serene youth."
Vladimir Levkin
Ex-soloist of the group "Na-Na" Vladimir Levkin had to overcome the test of cancer lymphatic system - lymphogranulomatosis. In 2000, when the singer had already begun his solo career, the first signs of a terrible illness appeared: weakness, shortness of breath, loss of hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, then an enlarged lymph node formed. Numerous surveys began to establish the cause of the problems.
When the diagnosis was finally determined, the oncological disease was already in the fourth stage. The deadly phase, according to doctors, did not give any guarantees of survival. It turned out that the disease had been developing for seven years. The first stage of the struggle for life in the clinic under IVs lasted for a year and a half. Vladimir underwent nine courses of chemotherapy, then underwent a complex operation.

He was supported by his relatives and closest ones - they called everyone who could provide at least some kind of help, and above all material. However, the then wife of the performer, Oksana Oleshko (dancer, ex-soloist of the "Hi-Fi" group), left her sick husband and filed for divorce - perhaps frightened by a far from bright prospect. This added mental anguish to Vladimir's physical suffering. Rescued books. “I needed to distract myself with something. And I read non-stop, read an unreal number of books during this time. And more letters from fans, ”the vocalist recalled. He said that he began to write himself - prose, poetry, but they turned out to be too painful, therefore, upon leaving the hospital, he burned his creations - he did not want to leave a reminder of that terrible period of his life.
Fortunately, during the struggle with a serious illness, a girl appeared in the singer's life - model and TV presenter Alina Yarovikova, who gave Vladimir her love, provided maximum assistance and, becoming a support in everything, in fact helped a miracle to happen ... The musician managed to get out of the disease. Slowly, but he began to come back to life. “At first it was unbearably difficult to walk,” Levkin said. “I could only take a few steps a day ...” Nevertheless, three months later, the musician began to actively organize concerts. And here happy relationship with Alina gradually faded away.
Some time later, at one of the events, the singer met with the casting director of the series "Interns", actress Marina Ichetovkina, his fan for the period of "hire". The young people were covered by a wave of love, and they decided to enter into an official marriage (for Levkin - the fourth). However, fate continued to test Vladimir's strength: almost immediately after the wedding, it turned out that the disease had given a relapse - ten years later. Marusya was pregnant. “I was expecting the birth of my daughter (the singer also has a daughter from his first marriage - Victoria (1993) and did not consider it necessary to give up, give up,” Levkin recalled.

He had a bone marrow transplant operation, which the vocalist went to after completing six New Year's concerts. This time the treatment lasted almost a year. And all this time, the wife was next to her husband, not allowing him to lose heart. They coped with it ... Currently, 50-year-old Vladimir Alexandrovich is quite healthy and happy: in his work - as a producer and director of major events, in the family - as the husband of his loving wife and father of five-year-old daughter Nika.
Yuri Nikolaev
12 years ago, Yuri Nikolaev learned from doctors that he was diagnosed with intestinal cancer, he was 56 years old. “The world seemed to have turned black for me,” he recalled. However, timely, competent treatment made it possible to hope that the disease was defeated, as evidenced by the state of health. But still there were later relapses. And there were new operations and new procedures. But every time the TV presenter found the strength to overcome these ordeals. He believes that the secret of such resilience lies in only one thing: not to fall into despair, and not to allow yourself to feel sorry for yourself. “I strictly forbade myself this weakness and removed any panicky thoughts from my head. It was in such a simple way that he mobilized himself for survival, ”Yuri Alexandrovich once admitted. And the TV presenter is very much supported by faith in the Almighty, since he is a truly churchly person.

Svetlana Surganova
Rock singer Svetlana Surganova - violinist, vocalist and one of the founders of the Night Snipers group, entered the fight for life in 1997, at the age of 29. The diagnosis of intestinal cancer, made by the doctors, did not bode well. Doubts in a positive outcome were added by the fact that a week and a half after the first operation, during which, according to the artist, she had “cut out half of her intestines,” a second was required - because “inside began to fester”. Then there were wild pains, life on painkillers, weight loss up to 42 kilograms, nightmares, despair. And no encouraging predictions from doctors, except for assurances that they are doing their best.
But the disease clung tightly and did not intend to retreat. Svetlana had to lie down on the operating table several more times. During one of the surgical interventions, clinical death occurred. And in total there were five abdominal operations. "Today, artistic scarring is in fashion," the artist later joked. The last time a scalpel went over Svetlana's stripped belly was in 2005 - the gallbladder was removed and, finally, the discharge tube with a bag, which the singer did not part with for eight long years, was removed. The disease gave up and surrendered.

Remembering her experiences, Sveta talked about what, in addition to medicine, helped her to heal. “Most of all I was afraid to become a burden for my family and friends, so I prayed to God to give me the strength to withstand and withstand all trials with dignity. And she gave all sorts of promises: to stop using foul language, to learn foreign languages, to become disciplined ... In addition, she imagined - according to the stories of her grandmother, mother - the Leningrad blockade, I thought: “Since people could survive this, then it would be a sin for me to surrender.” And I also realized very important things: firstly, while you live, you need to behave with dignity; secondly, in no case should one despair and, thirdly, no matter how difficult it is, it is categorically contraindicated to withdraw into oneself and experience the tragedy alone - on the contrary, you need to communicate to the maximum.
And among other things, for herself personally, the singer concluded that the fatal illness was sent to her for a reason, but for some kind of global life breakthrough. As a result, she founded the group "Surganova and Orchestra", which became successful and creates many hits that repeatedly occupy the top lines of the charts.
Vladimir Pozner
TV presenter Vladimir Pozner proved by his example that cancer can be defeated. Doctors diagnosed him with this terrible disease in 1993, when the journalist was 59 years old, and he was in the United States. Having experienced the initial horror from the realization of the collapse of all hopes and the final line of life, even crying, the TV presenter gathered courage, will, and made a decision: not to give up, to resist in spite of everything. "I said to the disease: no, you won't wait!" - he recalled his condition of that period. Subsequently, he advised everyone: you need to fight with your last strength.
Fortunately, the tumor was detected at an early stage. In this connection, over time, another piece of advice from Posner arose: "My example testifies to the fact that if this disease is caught in time and everything is done, it can be overcome, and it will recede." The TV presenter underwent an operation, then underwent the necessary rehabilitation treatment and ... Not immediately, gradually, but Vladimir Vladimirovich's health was restored. And oncology remained in my memory as a bitter, but at the same time rewarding experience.

Reborn, Posner began to lead exclusively healthy image life, keep fit and monitor your health. That gives strength and allows you to still actively do what you love. And, of course, in the process of recovery, as Pozner said, the support of family members (at that time he was married to Ekaterina Mikhailovna Orlova) and friends played a colossal role: “They never stopped believing in my healing, but at the same time they behaved with me as if nothing terrible was happening. "
A longtime friend of the TV journalist, also a journalist and TV presenter - American Phil Donahue, from the very beginning, seeing Posner's bitter despair, said to him: “What are you, fucking saying goodbye to life because of this ?! Yes, half of men your age have the same problem. Stop it. Straighten up, smile, and everything will be fine! " - this is how Vladimir Vladimirovich told.
Shura
Singer Shura (real name Alexander Medvedev) managed to recover from lymphogranulomatosis. This ominous disease was preceded by two others: alcohol and drug addiction. What is characteristic: after going through all the circles of hell for long-term treatment, which included, in particular, an operation to remove a testicle and 18 chemotherapies, Shura made a confession that it was drugs, in his opinion, that were responsible for the appearance and development of his oncology. “We all have cancer cells, but they turn on only when immunity is reduced. And I ate drugs, and they completely killed my immunity, ”he said.
The first problem (malignant formation on the testicle) was discovered in the singer, as he told the media, in 2004, and the cancer was in advanced stage. “My jaw really fell to the floor,” Shura said. After that, a difficult five-year medical odyssey began, with procedures aimed at simultaneously getting rid of two diseases. “I was injected with drugs for drugs into one hand through a dropper, and in the other for cancer,” Shura said. The artist was treated first in Moscow, then abroad - in a Swiss clinic. For a year and a half, he had to move to a wheelchair. "I could not walk at all, and even the tremor of my right hand appeared - it was shaking so much that they put a pillow of sand on it at night."

And yet Shura conquered the disease and began to recover. So much so that he put on weight up to 120 kilograms, after which he began to rapidly get rid of the excess, and again turned to the doctors - this time about liposuction. As a result, the weight dropped to 70 kg. In an interview, explaining the reason for the formation of obesity, Shura said that during the period when he constantly used drugs, all the money went to them. “I didn't eat anything, I drank only yogurt and vodka; and then, when the body got rid of addiction, it seemed to go nuts, and a mad appetite appeared ”.
Now 41-year-old Shura has completely changed his lifestyle. First, he plans to get married - his beloved, Elizabeth, is organizing festive events. Secondly, he observes a diet, swims, sleeps ten hours a day, and in terms of nutrition, as he says: "I do not harm my health, not only with drugs, but even with fried sausage." And he says: "Now I listen carefully to my body - I realized after the illness how important it is ..."

<\> code for a website or blog
The popularly beloved writer Daria Dontsova at first accepted the first symptoms of the disease with joy - suddenly, as always dreamed of, her breasts began to increase. However, a close friend did not share this joy and sent him to a doctor, who passed a ruthless sentence - the stage is neglected, there are several months left to live, something can be done, but it is pointless. Daria flatly refused to put up with the sentence: three children, husband, mother, mother-in-law, dogs - how can one die here? The treatment was long, painful - 18 operations, chemotherapy, radiation. But Dontsova's attitude was no less important than the treatment - she did not give herself a minute to think about death, she developed a “daily obligatory program of work on herself”. It included very different, at first glance, insignificant things - the main thing is to move, to occupy oneself. It was then, in the hospital, that Daria first began to write, where her first detective novel was born, which marked the beginning of a further successful career. Since then, sports and writing have remained unchanged on the list of mandatory daily activities. And Daria has been the Ambassador of the Together Against Breast Cancer charity program for many years.
LAIMA VAYKULE
The viewers learned about Laima Vaikule's struggle with a terrible disease from the TV broadcast with Oksana Pushkina, which became a revelation for many Russian women. Until then, few of the stars dared to confess so secret and urge women to take care of themselves, to go to the doctor more often. Lyme said that in her case, cancer was found in last stage, a very advanced tumor gave no more than a 20% chance of survival. An operation was urgently performed, then a long recovery process followed.
The singer admitted that she went through several stages - a terrible fear, a desire to hide in a corner and feel sorry for herself, envy of those who are healthy, an understanding of the need to accept the help of loved ones. “Nothing is the same,” says Lyme. - My attitude to many things, to people has changed, I myself and my idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is really important have changed.
HUGH JACKMAN
The famous "Wolverine" recently revealed that his childhood in Australia made him an ideal candidate for skin cancer, and he never used sunscreen, despite the fact that Australia has a long and strong lead in the number of patients suffering from this disease. Such carelessness left the actor sideways: in 2013, doctors diagnosed him with skin cancer - basal cell carcinoma. Moreover, Jackman's wife literally forced him to go to the doctor - to check a suspicious mole on his nose. As a result, it became clear - cancer, and even on the face! What could be worse for an actor? However, Hugh treated the whole situation with courage and humor - he regularly posted in his social networks photo after procedures with frightening blotches on the nose, did not hesitate to appear in this form at social events and actively urged everyone: “Please, do not be stupid like me. Be sure to check. Every three months I have a check-up. Now this is the norm for me. "
CYNTHIA NIXON
The performer of the role of Miranda, one of the four girlfriends from "Sex and the City", is in many ways like her most famous heroine - for example, the resilience of character. This trait helped her when she found out about her diagnosis - breast cancer. In addition, Cynthia had a positive example before her eyes - her mother successfully overcame the disease when the actress was still a child. This is what saved Cynthia herself - knowing about her genetic predisposition, she was regularly examined, and the tumor was found at an early stage. Nixon did not disclose her illness to almost anyone except her family, and the press learned about everything only a few years later. The experience was reflected in her career as an actress: she later played in a Broadway theatrical production based on the play "Wit" by Margaret Edson, where her heroine, poetry teacher Vivian Biring, also has cancer. For this role, the actress even shaved her head, which caused a lot of hype in the press - many media outlets suggested that the disease had indeed returned.
SHERON OSBORN
The wife of the legendary rock musician Ozzy Osbourne was diagnosed with rectal cancer, and given a completely disappointing prognosis - no more than 30% chance of survival, since the tumor had time to metastasize to the lymph nodes. Sharon, known for her cocky disposition and iron character, did not shy away from cancer - surgery and chemotherapy even became part of the reality show "Osborne", the shooting of which Sharon refused to interrupt.
Now Sharon is healthy and even jokes about herself - according to her, instead of hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on plastic surgery, where it was more important to check the "rear", and encourages all women at risk (after 40 years) to regularly do colonoscopy. "Colon cancer develops slowly, it can be detected at an early stage, then you will be saved," Sharon insists. - If nothing hurts, it does not mean that everything is in order. When it hurts, it's too late! "
SVETLANA SURGANOVA
Svetlana Surganova will probably agree with Sharon, whom a timely colonoscopy could save from many years of torment. Since childhood, Svetlana suffered from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - the body did not absorb even ordinary porridge and bread, she was prescribed the strictest diet. When the choice arose between working in her specialty (pediatrics) and a career in the Night Snipers group, Surganova preferred music. Constant touring, lack of a normal routine and healthy eating aggravated her condition, but the singer ignored the alarming symptoms for a long time until the pain became unbearable. The hospital was diagnosed with cancer of the sigmoid colon, followed by two operations, the doctors were forced to make a hole in the abdominal cavity and bring out the tube and attach a pouch to the stomach, in which they had to go to the toilet for several years. With these pipes, Svetlana bravely continued to perform, tour, participate in photo shoots.
Only recently did the singer get rid of this painful reminder of her illness, but she still monitors her health very carefully: “Now I understand and I want to tell everyone that you need to check your body, despite the unpleasant procedures. Get tested at least once a year, overcome your fear or laziness! The sooner a tumor is found in you, the more hope for recovery. "
KYLIE MINOGUE
The popular singer found out that she had breast cancer in 2005. In the press, this information had the effect of an exploding bomb, arousing a very unhealthy interest - very emaciated, hiding her head under multi-colored scarves, Kylie could not take a step without the annoying attention of the paparazzi. However, neither this, nor the difficult operation and the chemotherapy that followed it did not break the fighting spirit of the miniature Australian beauty.On the contrary, Minogue often talks about how the difficulties she experienced made her stronger and made her look around, think about who was in the same situation and needs help. Kylie organized her own fund to fight breast cancer, constantly participates in charity, actively encourages all women not to forget about the need for constant preventive visits to the doctor so as not to give the disease any chance.
ROBERT DENIRO
The Oscar-winning Hollywood actor faced a terrible disease at the age of 60 - he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, the actor did not neglect preventive examinations, so the tumor was found at an early stage. De Niro underwent a radical prostatectomy, which his colleague Arnold Schwarzenegger once did, and since then, for about 15 years, the actor's illness has not worried. The doctors noted that the recovery period took De Niro very little time, because despite his age, Robert is actively involved in sports, and most importantly, he does not avoid doctors and undergoes all the necessary examinations on time.
BEN STILLER
American comedian Ben Stiller can be called De Niro's friend in misfortune - he, too, learned about prostate cancer during a routine examination, and does not stop repeating how lucky he was to be vigilant. Ben admits that upon hearing his diagnosis, first he felt fear, and then confusion - it was not clear how to live on, plan shooting, what awaits him: “My doctor talked about the chances of survival, impotence, how the operation will take place and which one is better to choose, and I felt that his voice was moving away and becoming illegible - everything is like in these films, where a guy finds out that he has cancer, but I was not in the movie!
