Joey Russ 5,330 Posted October 20, 2020 Decided to give Jeff Bridges a thread after his lymphoma diagnosis. As the dude would say, this diagnosis ain’t cool man. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 2,590 Posted October 20, 2020 That’s sad news. His family seem to live a long time. His dad got to 85, his mum to 93 and his older brother Beau is turning 80 next year and seems well. Jeff Bridges also works out and takes care of himself, contrary to the lifestyle of The Dude. Says the prognosis is very positive and doesn’t seem too worried about it. Turning 71 in December. The flipside is he has to do chemo at that age it could prove to be problematic and he has to not contract COVID during hospital visits as that would complicate things further. Still, all speculation for now. I get the feeling he’ll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 8,782 Posted October 20, 2020 Chemo seems to work for most people (although the disease often comes back several years later). But lymphoma killed my mum within six months of diagnosis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'I came home elated with the news': Jeff Bridges tumour has 'drastically shrunk' (msn.com) I wish him well, but I don't trust that disease. My mum had a similar encouraging scan result but hers was very virulent, it popped up again straightaway and she was dead within a fortnight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
