, the beloved Hollywood icon said his one-time 9-inch x 12-inch mass had shrunk to the size of a “marble” thanks to all his treatments.But, the road to recovery has not been easy. In a previous unpublished entry, Bridges shared that the chemotherapy severely weakened him at theas he and his wife contracted COVID-19. The actor spent five weeks in the hospital due to all his health issues.
“This brush with mortality has brought me a real gift,” wrote Bridges. “Life is brief [and] beautiful. Love is all around us, & available [at] all times. It’s a matter of opening ourselves to receive the gift. We, often want some other gift that life isn’t giving us. I mean, who would want to get cancer & COVID? Well… it turns out I would. I would, because I get to learn more about love, [and] learn things that I never would have if I never got it.
Thanks to his grit and medical team, Bridges said he is nearly done with oxygen assistance and was able to both walk his daughter Haley down the aisle for her wedding and dance with her without any assistance.
