Jeff Bridges reveals tumor has shrunk, says 'cancer was nothing compared to COVID’

foxnews.com:

Jeff Bridges has good news about his health. In an interview with AARP magazine, the actor revealed that the tumor from his cancer has shrunk "to the size of a marble."  Bridges was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2020, while on a COVID-19 pandemic mandated break from filming his FX series, "The Old Man." He first noticed an issue while he was working out. "I was doing some exercises while on the ground and felt what seemed like a bone in my stomach.

I thought to myself, Hmm. But it didn’t hurt or anything. I asked Sue what she thought. She said: ‘I don’t know, but you’ve got to get it checked out.'" he said.

The "Crazy Heart" star shared that, because he wasn’t in pain, he was reluctant to see a doctor, and even took a hiking vacation with his wife, Susan Geston. "I’m hiking and feeling great.

My shins really itch, and I think, ‘Oh, I just got, you know, dry skin.’ Then I had night sweats, but thought, ‘That’s just hot summer nights.’ It turns out those are lymphoma symptoms." "I was doing those fight scenes for the first episode of ‘The Old Man’ and didn’t know that I had a 9-by-12-inch tumor in my body," Bridges reflected.
