Yuri Nikolaev: biography, disease
Yuri Alexandrovich always worked hard and selflessly. True, he was not deprived of bad habits (addiction to alcohol). All this together undermined the health of a famous person. Noticing that Yuri began to often complain of headaches and malaise, the wife insisted on his complete medical examination, during which it turned out that Nikolaev needed an urgent operation to replace part of the vessel, which could burst at any time and lead to instant death.
The operation lasted more than seven hours, but still ended happily. Almost immediately after discharge, Yuri Alexandrovich returned to his work as the host of the talk show "Dancing with the Stars." This work was not easy - the ambulance crew was constantly on duty on the set. After the next postoperative examination, the doctors delivered a verdict: cancer! Their conclusion sounded like a sentence. Yuri Alexandrovich was in complete despair. He did not want to see anyone. But this condition did not last long. By effort of will, he managed to mobilize himself and prepare for a serious struggle for life. And in this act, too, he is all - strong and strong-willed Yuri Nikolaev.

Yuri remembers the rehabilitation period poorly. In the first days after the operation, I did not want to see anyone. Today, he knows for sure that faith in God and the closest and dearest person on Earth, the wife of Eleanor, with whom he lived for about forty years, helped him survive this difficult time.
