Unfortunately, not a single person is safe from illness. The information that appeared at the beginning of this year about the terrible illness of the famous Russian singer Zhanna Friske shocked literally everyone: doctors diagnosed the ex-soloist of "Brilliant" with a malignant tumor. And until the spouse of the star made official confirmation of this, many users of Runet simply refused to believe that Jeanne Friske had brain cancer.
It is very pleasing that a huge number of Russians did not remain indifferent to the singer’s illness.
At present, we can confidently say that the events that unfolded immediately after this sad news were confirmed. Everyone wanted to morally and financially support the pop star and her family.
How dangerous is glioblastoma?
Medical experts did not deny that Jeanne Friske had brain cancer. The singer was diagnosed with glioblastoma. This pathology refers to primary brain tumors. The specifics of the treatment depend on which areas are affected by the disease. If a tumor has arisen in the immediate vicinity of the cerebral cortex and the disease can affect the centers responsible for movement and speech, then the symptoms appear immediately. In this case, the patient often loses consciousness, his coordination of movements is disturbed . In such cases, the person usually immediately runs to the doctor, the pathology in most cases can be stopped at the initial stage, and treatment can be considered an effective measure here.
However, if a malignant formation is located in the deep structures of the cerebral hemispheres, then it is often very difficult to visually diagnose.
It should be emphasized that Zhanna Friske has brain cancer of the 4th degree.
If we talk about primary glioblaustoma, then, as a rule, it is not accompanied by metastases. So said one of the neurosurgery doctors Igor Borschenko.
Many are still interested in the question of why brain cancer occurred in Jeanne Friske at all. Experts gave comments on this.
Causes
So, for what reasons could Joan Friske get sick with oncology? Doctors' forecasts regarding the sources of the disease are as follows: some claim that the singer’s brain tumor appeared as a result of solar radiation. The fact is that the Russian pop star spent a lot of time working in Mexico, and subsequently moved to Miami. Everyone knows that in the United States and in the “homeland of tequila” there is a bright and burning sun, which could negatively affect the singer’s body.
One of the specialists in neurosurgery Andrei Grin informed that in medical practice, patients who underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor often have a relapse after they went on vacation to warm countries.
Other experts claim that Zhanna Friske’s glioblastoma appeared due to the fact that the former “Shiny” soloist abused the use of anti-aging procedures, the meaning of which was to produce stem cells in the spinal canal. Naturally, this increased the risk of malignant tumors, which usually occur in several places at once.
Brain cancer Jeanne Friske probably could have foreseen. There are cases when the disease does no harm to the person at all, and sometimes there are simply “deadlock” situations where the doctor is not able to help his patient, and then there is only one thing - to transform the pathology into a kind of remission in order to at least extend its days . So said one of the specialists in neurosurgery Dmitry Okishev.
The singer did not immediately contact the doctors
According to relatives of the pop diva, she did not immediately seek medical help. In the middle of last year, her headaches became more frequent, she constantly felt drowsiness and repeatedly lost consciousness. Only after these alarming symptoms did Jeanne Friske become anxious about her own health. She turned to doctors, who diagnosed her with a terrible ailment. At the same time, American experts were sure that the singer would not live even two months. To close relatives, of course, they did not report this. However, subsequently their expectations were not confirmed.
Difficult choice of clinic
For Zhanna’s relatives, choosing a clinic for treatment was not easy. They drove her to Germany, to the USA, as well as to the famous oncological centers of our country. In the end, it was decided to treat the singer in New York.
The current state of the singer’s health
The diagnosis made by Zhanna Friske shocked not only her family and friends, but the entire Russian public. The singer’s colleagues “in the shop” tried their best to help her, and even took part in the campaign to collect the money that was required for treatment abroad. The fact is that it was impossible to hesitate with him, because suddenly Zhanna's eyesight worsened, and she herself lost a lot of weight. It was decided to conduct treatment in the United States. Almost immediately, the singer was prescribed a course of chemotherapy, which, of course, had a positive effect on the health of a pop star. However, it is still very premature to talk about the complete healing of Jeanne Friske. After the use of medications, puffiness appeared on the body of the singer, and it is very difficult to find out the former Jeanne in her.
Positive dynamics
Today, the singer’s condition has stabilized, her health has improved slightly, and she is seriously considering the future treatment strategy. The singer no longer intends to conduct chemotherapy.
American media reported that the Russian pop diva decided to be treated with an experimental nano-vaccine in one of the medical centers located in Los Angeles.
Since the girl does not see well, she is forced to wear dark glasses. The reason for the singer's visual impairment is obvious: Jeanne Friske is ill with brain cancer. A malignant tumor certainly affects the optic nerve. As soon as doctors manage to reduce the affected area, vision will be restored, experts say.
It should be emphasized that certain successes in this direction are already available for doctors. The likelihood that you can completely "overcome" cancer, exists.
The family of Jeanne Friske next to her
Today, next to the singer are the people most dear to her: mother - Olga Vladimirovna, husband - Dmitry Shepelev, son Platon and girlfriend of the brilliant musical group - Olga Orlova. All of them render every support to the singer.
The singer’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, also informed Russian print media that his daughter had refused chemotherapy procedures. As for the new drug, which is specially designed to combat glioblaustoma, we only know its name - ICT-107 and the fact that the vaccine has recently been successfully tested in medical laboratories in Los Angeles.
Opinion of Russian experts
Russian doctors do not believe that it was necessary to send the singer for treatment "abroad", since similar vaccines were created by Russian scientists.
When the public actively discussed what happened with the singer, Moscow oncologists expressed disapproval that Zhanna Friske chose to be treated by their foreign colleagues, reproaching her for the lack of patriotism. According to the chief oncologist of the Russian capital, in our country a better treatment, moreover, is completely free.
In addition to this, the experts recognized that the developed drugs belong to the experimental category, therefore they are not always used and far from always effective.
