For the first time, the doctors found cancer of the lymph nodes in his mediastinum. It was in 2014. At that time, he was supposed to shoot the series I, Mattoni, and he complained of great fatigue. It was clear after the biopsy.
At a critical age
The actor more or less said goodbye to life after the bad news. “When I was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes, I thought that I was at the age when I was dying. People just die at sixty-eight. These are the only certainties that we are all born and must die one day.” he said calmly then Bartoška. But almost ten years full of good work awaited him.
Without specifying
It is not known what kind of cancer attacked the actor now. “The president of the Karlovy Vary IFF, Jiří Bartoška, is currently undergoing oncology treatment at the Motol Fakutní hospital,” she confirmed to the daily Aha! festival spokesperson Uljana Donátová (63). “We will not share any further details,” added Donátová.

Sense of tumor
But now one gets chills when he imagines that Bartoška presented the new ČT series Smysl pro tumor, which will start broadcasting in January, in Vary in the summer. In it, he represents oncology patient Antonín Vaňek, who had his head shaved for the filming. He looked the same as he did nine years ago. Only now is it clear why he could not participate in the opening of the festival for the first time in his life. And why did he come later with a cannula in his hand so he could go on drips if necessary.
A wise decision
Already in the summer, Bartoška was approached to film a sequel to the successful comedy Teorie tigra. At that time, he postponed work because he felt tired after the virus and the festival days. In addition, the final version of the script was not ready yet. The actor prudently postponed filming until the spring. So now he has peace of mind for treatment.
