Sharing a inspirational 2021 news story - Stanley Tucci reveals he was diagnosed with cancer and is currently in remission.
Apparently Mr. Tucci diagnosed with oral cancer in 2017 after a tumor was found at the base of his tongue that was too large to remove surgically.
He underwent 35 days of radiation treatments, plus seven sessions of chemotherapy, five days a week for seven weeks at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
Also developed labyrinthitis, an inner ear condition causing nausea and vertigo, lost his sense of smell, and was weakened to the point that he could barely stand.
Soon after beginning treatment, food started to taste terrible, and not long after that he was forced to eat by feeding tube because of mouth sores and damage to his salivary glands from his treatments. Never a large man, he lost 30 pounds.
My own comment to this report is have faith in the medical teams and keep thinking positive.
Hi. Yes he talks a lot about it and there have been a few interviews on the TV. It’s good to highlight the disease, to bring awareness of the importance of checking your mouth and throat and going to GP or dentist asap.
He is a real foodie too so that gives hope to others regaining their taste.
