Hello everyone! I’m back with another question about today’s news.

Jeff Bridges | Hidden Battles: After Treatment Effects. This news focuses on Jeff Bridges, the talented actor you might know from films like “True Grit.” It delves into the long-term effects of his treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma attacks the lymphatic system and bone marrow. (instead of “digustries”).

As part of his treatment, Jeff underwent chemotherapy, a common approach for this type of cancer. However, chemotherapy can weaken the immune system. Unfortunately, this made Jeff more susceptible to complications when he contracted COVID-19. While chemotherapy helps fight cancer, it can have side effects like temporary hair loss, fatigue, and a weakened immune system, all of which contributed to Jeff’s struggle with COVID.

He faced significant challenges during his illness, including hospitalization for 4–5 weeks and requiring oxygen assistance. Despite the hardships, Jeff remained determined. He set small, achievable goals for himself, like standing for 40–45 seconds or increasing his walking distance. These goals may seem minor, but for Jeff, they were significant steps towards recovery. Jeff also credits his family and friends’ unwavering support during this difficult time. He described his approach as “surrendering” and “giving in to love.”

Surrendering, in his words, means accepting and trusting the medical process. Giving in to love involves embracing the help and support offered by loved ones, fostering gratitude, and maintaining motivation. While the experience undoubtedly took a toll on Jeff, he remained committed to his recovery. Though not fully cured, in the past his tumor size was 9–12 inches, and it was very small, like a marble. 

Impressively, Jeff even completed filming the first season of “The Old Man” during this challenging period, and the second season is already in the works.
