The Egyptian artist Edward surprised his fans by revealing painful details of his health journey, which began with an attempt to lose weight and ended with the discovery of a cancerous tumor in the left college, before he later exposed to a heart attack that almost claimed his life, in one of the most difficult stages he went through.
In his interview with the media, Essaad Younis on the “Her Excellency” program on the “DMC” screen, Edward recounted the full story of the disease, which he said was “shook his entity from the inside”, stressing that this experience changed his view of life.
Slimming injection and the beginning of the crisis
The story began with Edward attempt to lose weight in preparation for one of the artistic roles with director Mohamed Sami, as he resorted to daily slimming injections that lost 15 kilograms of weight, and then – with a recommendation from a friend – he later tried a new type of weekly injection without medical advice, which led to serious health complications.
“Suddenly I nullified, I know I eat, and I cannot enter the bathroom, and my temperature was high for days, and the doctor told me that I have paralysis in the stomach,” Edward said.
Shocking diagnosis
During the examinations, doctors discovered a water bag on the right college, but the exact analyzes and radiation in the dye revealed the surprise: a cancerous tumor in the left college in its early stages, which required the entire college eradication.
On the moment he received the news, Edward said, “The word is that, I am not able to describe my sense, I was a lonely (crying) alone every day, and my disappointment for my children, I said to my time,” I said. “
He added, “The doctor said that this was a gift from our Lord, because the tumor often discovered it in late stages, but luck let us discover it in my mind.”
Psychological shock
The Egyptian artist tried to hide his illness from his surroundings and hold together in front of his family, but the psychological pressure and frequent collapse in secret caused him later in a heart clot, after which a process was performed to install 3 stents and heart catheters.
“I was thanks to (kept) silent, I did not want to pity myself, but I was staying every day, and I wished sudden death after I saw my mother’s suffering in the hospital before her death.”
Human support
Despite the weight of the experiment, Edward was not alone, as he received great support from his colleagues in the artistic community, led by Mustafa Qamar, who remained next to him in the hospital, and Mohamed Sami who offered the provision of a private plane for treatment abroad, in addition to Mai Omar, who contacted her brother’s brother in the United States to send medical reports, and a number of stars expressed their solidarity with him, such as Ahmed El -Saqa and Basem Samra.
The college eradication was successfully performed, and the analyzes showed that the tumor is malignant, but it did not spread, which exempted Edward from chemotherapy.
Today, the artist announced his complete recovery from the disease, stressing the importance of hope in overcoming healthy tribulations, saying, “We must put our faith in our Lord and continue, this was a very difficult experience, but I went back.”
From music to acting
On the sidelines of talking about his illness, Edward reviewed the most prominent milestones of his career, indicating that the music was his first start, as academically studied and worked for a period in the field of tourism, then his real start in acting through the movie “Love Sima” in front of the artist Mahmoud Hamida, who remained postponed 4 years before its screening.
He also touched on his theatrical beginnings with the show “Death of a Mobile Seller” alongside Khaled Saleh and Khaled Al -Sawy, and his most prominent singing stations such as “Linda Linda” and “Lilo”, stressing that he was one of the most famous Western singer at that stage, asking, “You do not know the people who loved the music, where did you go?”
