This inspires and gives strength to thousands of people to fight cancer, makes them believe in own strength and gives hope for the best.

In 1987, he was admitted to the hospital, and his first wife, Alla Balter, asked the doctors to tell her husband that he had tuberculosis. Emmanuil Gedeonovich admits: if he had known about his illness, his nerves would have been exposed. And so he fought with the hope of recovery and was able to win.
Andrey Gaidulyan
The star actor stoically accepted the news of his illness in the summer of 2015. He didn’t give up and urgently left for treatment in specialized clinic in Germany. German doctors confirmed the diagnosis: lymphoma (oncological disease of the lymphatic tissue).

In the spring of 2016, Andrei Gaidulyan publicly announced that lymphoma had been defeated.
Laima Vaikule
The singer was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991. The disease was discovered in her already at a stage when doctors could not promise anything. The chance of survival was only 20%. At first, the star gave up, fell into depression and was seriously preparing for death. But common sense triumphed over depression. The singer agreed to the operation, which was successful. Laima Vaikule was able to rethink her entire life and now constantly helps cancer patients not to lose faith in themselves and in their victory.
Boris Korchevnikov

According to the presenter himself, he was seriously preparing for death, rushing to finish all important matters. Fortunately, the operation was performed on time, and further studies of the tumor showed that it was benign.
Joseph Kobzon
He has been fighting the disease virtually since 2002. Every day, without giving up even for a second. He has his own recipe for keeping yourself in shape, no matter what.

And then the disease simply won’t have a chance.

Everyone was worried about him, only he himself was calm. When asked about his well-being, Alexander only grins, saying that something was cut out of him along the male line. But the performer does not forget to coquettishly emphasize: along the same lines, everything is normal for him.
Svetlana Surganova
She was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 30. She struggled for several years and always believed that she would live. Only the fifth abdominal operation resulted in complete victory over the disease. After recovery, Svetlana always encourages you to consult a doctor in a timely manner. She herself waited until the last minute before going to the hospital, although she had noticed the signs of oncology for a long time.
Valentin Yudashkin
The famous fashion designer found out about his illness in the fall of 2016 and immediately rushed into battle with the disease. Fortunately, his disease was discovered on early, which gave a very high chance of winning. Valentin Yudashkin consciously made the decision to undergo treatment in his homeland, which he never regretted. Already in March 2017, he announced his full recovery. He knew for sure that he was able to survive thanks to the support of his wife, daughter, and his friends. And I especially thanked Philip Kirkorov for his support.
Shura (Alexander Medvedev)
From a shocking singer terrible disease manifested itself as alarm bells in the form unpleasant dreams And pain. A visit to the doctor sounded like a death sentence: testicular cancer. The singer abandoned all his ambitions, left the stage for a while, underwent surgery to remove a testicle and 18 courses of chemotherapy. He spent 7 years of his life and a lot of money on his treatment. I rethought what was happening and in 2014, together with Svetlana Surganova, recorded the composition “Prayer”. He considers the singer to be a sister in misfortune, miraculously healed, like himself.
Unfortunately, the fight against the disease is not always successful. Let us recall that on November 22, 2017, the famous baritone who had a brain tumor died in London.

After the baritone was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he immediately canceled all concerts and began undergoing chemotherapy in London. At the end of September, the baritone performed the role of Count di Luna from the opera Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi at the Metropolitan Opera.

Vladimir Pozner
TV presenter Vladimir Pozner is shining example that such a terrible disease as cancer can be treated. The famous journalist said that at the age of 59 he was diagnosed with this disease. Then it seemed to him that the end had come. But years later, he declares that there is no need to give up - this is one of the secrets of defeating cancer.
“23 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. And my feeling was as if I had walked into a brick wall right away. And immediately it seemed that everything was over. I was 59 years old, I still wanted to live. I remember this today because I want to say that you always have to fight. Of course, this requires close people, friends who help you, but you are the main thing. You have to be able to say no to yourself. I won’t give up under any circumstances,” Posner shared in a recent interview with StarHit.
The TV journalist underwent surgery in 1993, and since then the TV presenter’s health has been fine. But after that, when fate gave Posner a second chance, he tries to lead healthy image life and always monitors his health, staying in good physical shape and continuing to work actively.

After treatment at the Moscow Blokhin Cancer Center, he went to Germany, where he underwent chemotherapy. On the recommendation of local specialists, Gaidulyan was supposed to remain in the Munich clinic until the New Year.

Singer Joseph Kobzon, whose name has already become a legend, also managed to survive this terrible diagnosis. In February 2009, doctors diagnosed him with prostate cancer. During this time, the artist underwent many chemotherapy sessions, which significantly weakened his body.
Initially, Joseph Kobzon was treated in Germany, but then he stated that Russian doctors are among the best in the world, so he planned to continue his chemotherapy course in Moscow. But still, the maestro’s operation was performed later in Europe. All this time, Joseph was supported by his wife Nellie.

Alexander Buynov

He took the course necessary procedures, without canceling scheduled performances. Sometimes doctors gave him the necessary injections right before going on stage. Last September, rumors appeared that Alexander Buinov had a relapse of cancer. But his wife then denied all these speculations.
By the way, Buinov himself believes that cancer was sent to him as punishment for his sins. He does not like to talk about his illness, but he does not hide the fact that he is a fatalist by nature. “I accept everything that fate has in store with gratitude. If God punishes me physically for something, then there is something for it. I had accumulated enough sins throughout my life, so when I was diagnosed, it didn’t occur to me to feel sorry for myself. I always remembered some sins and misdeeds, and my soul became lighter. Moreover, those around me were even more worried than I was. I actually wanted no one to know about it. My father, a front-line soldier, a military pilot, always said: “I only believe in a scalpel. If something was cut out, it means you were cured.” Apparently, he passed on this faith in the scalpel and dislike for pills to me. What can I say, it’s a terribly unpleasant thing, but I didn’t feel like I was dying. Probably, I was just sure that everything would be fine,” Buinov admitted in an interview.
Yuri Nikolaev

Svetlana Surganova
Rock singer Svetlana Surganova has also been battling cancer for many years. The star learned that she had intestinal cancer after abdominal surgery more than ten years ago.
Svetlana recalls that what scared her most was not the diagnosis, but the thought that she could become a burden to her loved ones. The artist underwent several operations, after which improvements followed. However, after some time the disease returned. Despite her illness, Surganova did not interrupt creative activity– recorded songs, toured and participated in television shows. The singer’s group “Surganova and the Orchestra” is one of the most actively touring in our show business.
Svetlana treats her stomach, striped by operations, with irony: “Nowadays artistic scarring is fashionable. Maybe I’ll “shape” my scars too. And although Sveta recently underwent another operation - on a kidney, the singer does not whine and never complains about her fate: “As long as we are alive, we must behave with dignity - this is the most important thing,” the star is sure.
Laima Vaikule
Famous, stylish singer Laima Vaikule for a long time hid from the public that she had breast cancer and was on the verge of death. In 1991, doctors from the United States gave the Latvian and Russian singer a terrible diagnosis. She needed urgent surgery, because otherwise doctors predicted death.
However, even with surgery, doctors estimated her chances of survival at 20%, but Vaikule managed. Subsequently, she admitted: “Don’t believe that dying is not scary. This is scary! And I went through it! They say that we are born and die alone. And I came to the conclusion that it’s easier to die when you believe.” Later, the singer said that the illness turned her life upside down, made her think about many things and look at familiar things and relationships differently.
“Dear friends, even such a terrible disease as cancer can be cured today. Therefore, the most important thing I wish for you is: love yourself. Go for a checkup every year. Don’t waste time on this and don’t upset your friends and family. I wish you good health. Be healthy! Be happy! – words of the singer from Dozhd TV channel.
Nadezhda Kadysheva
Performer of Russian folk songs Nadezhda Kadysheva defeated her diagnosis of breast cancer fifteen years ago. The illness was accompanied by depression for the lead singer of the Golden Ring ensemble.
My husband helped me fight the disease. It was thanks to his care, support and attention that Nadezhda overcame this difficult psychological state. After the depression was overcome, it turned out that the signs of cancer had disappeared.
“I lived for two years with the idea that I would soon die. I understood that the end was near, and I was already mentally saying goodbye to my loved ones. And during the operation it turned out that there was no cancer. If it weren’t for my husband, who didn’t leave me alone with trouble, I would have gone crazy,” the singer admitted to the “Secrets of the Stars” magazine.
Zhanna Friske
Death gorgeous woman and just a good singer Zhanna Friske shocked the whole country last year. Many believed that this sunny woman, who just recently became a mother, would live. But fate decreed otherwise.
About what Friske has inoperable tumor brain, the public learned in January 2014. Channel One, together with Rusfond, organized a fundraiser for the actress. They managed to collect about 68 million rubles - more than was required to pay for her treatment. Therefore, Friske donated part of the funds to help children suffering from cancer.
At the moment, IC, where did the rest of the amount go? Zhanna's father Vladimir Friske and her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev started an almost real war over this. Also, little Plato, the singer’s son, became a stumbling block between them.
Note that the singer underwent treatment in New York, and then was treated in China. But death overtook her in Russia, where she returned after lengthy attempts at healing.
On January 20, the family of Zhanna Friske officially confirmed the information that the famous singer, TV presenter and actress had been diagnosed with cancer, thereby confirming recent rumors about a serious illness.
We wish Zhanna a recovery and, with hope for the best, suggest we remember the stories of those celebrities who once got cancer, but were able to overcome this terrible disease.
