James Van Der Beek, kendt fra 'Dawson's Creek', åbner op om sin kræftdiagnose og hvorfor han har valgt at være åben omkring det. Læs mere!
James Van Der Beek, den velkendte stjerne fra 90'ernes hitserie "Dawson's Creek", har for nylig delt den chokerende nyhed om, at han er blevet diagnosticeret med kræft i tyktarmen. I en følelsesladet erklæring den 3. november delte den 47-årige skuespiller, at han i længere tid har kæmpet med diagnosen i det stille og nu ønsker at være åben omkring sin situation. Van Der Beek udtrykte, at han føler sig godt tilpas og har modtaget betydelig støtte fra sin fantastiske familie i denne svære tid.
Skuespilleren har også oplyst, at der er grund til optimisme, og han er i gang med behandling, hvilket giver ham håb for fremtiden. Van Der Beek har desuden nævnt, at denne oplevelse har været som en slags indvielse for ham. "Jeg er i et godt sted og føler mig stærk," sagde han i et opslag på Instagram, hvori han også indikerede, at han vil dele mere om sin rejse, når tiden er inde.
I et forsøg på at øge bevidstheden omkring kræftsygdomme hos mænd, deltager Van Der Beek i en todelt tv-special, hvor han og andre berømtheder vil gå sammen om at strippe for at fremme vigtigheden af screening for prostata-, testikel- og tyktarmskræft. Det er vigtigt at understrege, at mænd mellem 45 og 75 år opfordres til at gennemgå regelmæssige screenings for tyktarmskræft, forstået i lyset af den stigende forekomst af sygdommen i denne aldersgruppe.
Van Der Beeks åbenhed omkring sin sygdom har været en kilde til inspiration for mange, og det viser, hvor vigtigt det er at tale om, hvad man går igennem. Hans beslutning om at dele sin historie kan hjælpe andre med at føle sig mindre alene i deres egne kampe og tilskynde til vigtige samtaler om kræft. Visste du, at ifølge Cleveland Clinic kan tidlig opdagelse af tyktarmskræft forbedre overlevelsesraterne markant? Og at mere end 50.000 mennesker dør af tyktarmskræft hvert år i USA? Sjovt nok sker det også, at den gennemsnitlige person bruger længere tid på at vælge noget at se på Netflix, end de bruger på at få foretaget en kræftscreening!
