Former football player Sjaak Polak has bladder cancer: ‘It’s hell’ | Football

sport">“As many people do not know, I have just been on the street for a few days. I am fortunate to be able to sit here at the table, because it could have turned out differently,” said the former defender of FC Twente and ADO Den Haag, among others.

sport">“No other cells have been found in certain places in my body,” he continues. “Now it’s a matter of recovering and waiting. There will be another check in four months. I’m hopeful. Life goes on, but it’s been tough. It’s hell and you have to go with it, but I don’t wish it on anyone.”
