Shocked talking about the terrifying battle he waged with the coronavirus while receiving chemotherapy for cancer, the famous actor Jeff Bridges.
The protagonist of “The Big Lewbowski” is now healthy, but in an interview with People he said that for the last year and a half he feels like he is living “a strange dream” that he is not sure he will overcome.
It all started when Bridges did a workout at home and felt something unusual in his stomach. He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
“I had a large volume in my body. As if he were a child. “It did not hurt at all,” he said, shocked by the doctor’s discovery.
Start chemotherapy with positive results coming quickly.
However, in January 2021, while chemotherapy had weakened his immune system, he contracted the coronavirus at a time when the vaccine was not yet available.
“I did not have defenses. This is what chemotherapy does – it removes all of your immune system. “I had nothing to fight for,” he said. “COVID made my cancer look like nothing.”
He spent the next five months in severe pain in the hospital, shouting to the nurses to help him with oxygen every time he rolled.
“I was very close to death. The doctors kept telling me, “Jeff, you have to fight. You are not fighting. ” I was ready to surrender. “I danced with my mortality,” he said.
Then he started receiving special treatment and started to recover.
