entertainment">Ruud announced in March that he had had colon cancer and had already been treated for it. Still he had to be operated on again. Although he was allowed to go home fairly quickly afterwards, he had to be admitted the same day due to complications. Suddenly I heard him screaming from the bathroom, so I ran upstairs and Ruud was really in a pool of blood. An enormous pool of blood ”, says Olcay in the Shownews Podcast.
entertainment">However, because she participated in the program celebrities in the hospital, she immediately knew how to act. “I think if I hadn’t done an internship in the hospital, I would have panicked completely, probably would have fainted and the last thing I thought of was putting him on the bed, taking him to breathe. , that I had to call 911 and pack his things. I learned that kind of routine in that month and a half. ”
Depressed
entertainment">However, that does not alter the fact that the past months have been very intense. Because where Ruud only announced the news in March, he was already told in January that he had cancer. “Of course it was a shock because you always hear from other people that they have cancer and that they are sick or have heart problems. It always feels so unreal that it could happen to yourself ”, she begins her story. Once the news landed, Olcay quickly felt pugnacious. Ruud, however, had a lot heavier. “He was quite depressed, because he was like, this could just mean the end of my life.”
entertainment">They decided to keep the diagnosis quiet for the time being, because it was not yet clear whether the cancer could be treated. “Ruud has two small children and an 18-year-old daughter, so we were like, let’s find out how treatable it is and what the situation is really like before we start sharing it with the outside world. Because if you share it with the outside world, you also have to tell a 9-year-old girl that her father is very sick. We wanted to handle that quite carefully. ”
entertainment">However, when after the first operation it turned out that the cancer had spread further and he had to undergo an ‘even more serious procedure’ that also included a long rehabilitation process, Ruud decided it was time to share the news in his radio program.
