Does Hugh Jackman have cancer?

In February 2016, the Hollywood star Hugh Jackman underwent a fifth operation for skin cancer, the British newspaper The Guardian reports. About the fact that Hugh Jackman was diagnosed with cancer, it became known back in 2013, when he laid out in Instagram photo with an adhesive plaster on his face. In his Twitter, the actor asked fans to regularly check their health.

Hugh Jackman was diagnosed with skin cancer

In the fall of 2013, the actor, who externally shines with health and strength, appeared on the nose of a small mole, but he did not attach any importance to it. The spot was so small that it was noticed only by the make-up artist while working on the next film. But Hugh Jackman's caring wife Debbora-Lee Furness (Australian actress, producer and director) insisted on going to the doctor.

"Deb told me to check the stain on my nose. Guys, she was right! I have a basal cell . Please do not follow my bad example. Check on time, "- wrote about this actor on Twitter.

Hugh Jackman is suffering from skin cancer

After Hugh Jackman was diagnosed twice with skin cancer, it seemed that everything was over, but soon the paparazzi again noticed the actor with a plaster on his face while walking with a dog in Manhattan. Jackman himself clearly did not want to discuss the situation with journalists - he hurriedly put on the hood and put on sunglasses. But soon people from the environment of the actor said that Hugh Jackman again has cancer. And this time the tumor arose suddenly and grew up literally in a week.

In one of the interviews, the actor admitted that he understands what he is dealing with and is ready for the fact that the disease can return more than once, therefore he checks his health 4 times a year. In early 2016, the print media reported another news that skin cancer had returned to Hugh Jackman for the fifth time.

Basal cell carcinoma is one of the most "harmless" types of cancer. He rarely gives metastasises and is cured in 90% of cases (provided that he has a timely call to a doctor). Hugh Jackman does not get tired of asking people to be more attentive to themselves and using a protective cream (and not only in the summer), and even he produces a line of sunscreens, with the main position in it is taken by means for baby skin.
