Dolph Lundgren Triumphs Over Cancer After Nine-Year Battle
Dolph LundgrenIn a touching and triumphant revelation, Dolph Lundgren, the iconic 67-year-old actor known for his roles in 'The Expendables' and 'Rocky IV', has announced that he is finally cancer-free following a grueling nine-year battle. Despite being told he only had 2 to 3 years to live, Lundgren persevered, demonstrating remarkable resilience and courage.
On his Instagram, Lundgren shared a heartfelt video from his hospital bed at UCLA, declaring, "Here I am, about to go in and get rid of that last tumor. Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I’ll be cancer-free". The star underwent a lung ablation procedure, a testament to the advances in medical treatments that use thermal energy to target and eliminate cancer cells.
Lundgren’s journey with cancer began in 2015, when he was first diagnosed after a tumor was found in his kidney. Following initial success in removing the tumor, he enjoyed a five-year period of remission. However, in 2020, his cancer returned, and he was faced with dire predictions by doctors that gave him only a few years to live. In a critical turn of events, seeking a second opinion saved his life.
A UCLA doctor identified a different mutation than previously thought, leading to a life-saving change in his treatment plan. Reflecting on his journey, Lundgren shared the life lessons he has learned through this challenging time: "It’s been a rough ride and really taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life. It’s the only way to go". His story of endurance and hope has resonated with many, including fellow celebrities such as Chuck Norris and Terry Crews, who have expressed their support and happiness for his recovery.
As Lundgren stands on the brink of a new chapter, free of cancer and filled with gratitude, he looks forward to what the future holds with renewed hope and excitement.
