Jeff Bridges' cancer is in remission, but COVID-19 put him in the hospital for weeks

[Demovictory9]

Jeff Bridges returned to his blog Monday with good news: His cancer is now in remission, nearly 11 months after he revealed his lymphoma diagnosis. And his COVID-19, the disease you didn’t know he contracted back in January? That’s getting better too. Finally.

“Lots has gone down since my last installment,” Bridges revealed in his usual handwritten notes posted on his website. “My cancer is in remission — the 9" by 12" mass has shrunk down to the size of a marble.” That’s progress from when he reported in January that it had “drastically shrunk.”

Unfortunately, that same month, Bridges and his wife, Sue, were exposed to COVID-19 at his chemotherapy infusion center, he announced Monday as he published thoughts from March that he had held back until now.

“Soon after,” Bridges wrote on March 28, they both “share an ambulance to the ICU,” where she spent five days in the hospital, and he, with an immune system weakened by the chemo, was there for five weeks.

3. I didn't know he was ill at all. That's horrible. I hope he makes a full recovery, but it's

going to be a long slog. He's the star of one of my favorite movies ever: Starman. Every time I make Dutch apple pie I think of him.

4. He should have scored an Oscar for that performance. n/t
