WWE: Bret und Smith Hart an Krebs erkrankt

Wie Bret Hart auf seinem Facebook-Account bekanntgab ist er an Prostatakrebs erkrankt. In seinem Post sagt er, dass er jahrelang den Preis für seinen Job gezahlt hat. Er geht auf seine Operationen in den letzten Jahren ein und sagt, dass er viele Kämpfe bestritten hat aber der schwerste Kampf steht ihm nun bevor. Hart wird sich in den kommenden Tagen einer Operation unterziehen in der Hoffnung, seinen "Nemesis", wie er den Krebs selber nennt, zu besiegen. Im Nachfolgenden findet ihr den Originaltext.

It is with great remorse that I feel compelled to speak truthfully to my friends, family and my millions of fans around the world. In the past few years, I've spent more than enough time paying the price for all those years trying to be the best there ever was as a professional wrestler. I executed excellently and my proudest claim was that I never seriously hurt or injured another wrestler in my 23 year career. I've paid a price for all that "fake" wrestling. Aside from a devastating career-ending concussion and numerous surgeries when I was younger, in recent years I've had two knee replacements, two hernia operations, surgery on my right elbow, and, just a few months ago, I underwent a four-corner fusion of my right wrist that even now makes it most difficult to write or type.
Mark Helprin wrote: "We are all perfect clocks that Divinity has set to ticking when, even before birth, the heart explodes into a lifelong dance." I've had a great lifelong dance and I'm a survivor of many hard battles. I now face my toughest battle. With hesitation and fear, I openly declare myself in my fight against prostate cancer. In the next few days, I will undergo surgery with the hope of defeating this nemesis once and for all.

My fans have always looked upon me as a hero and I've always done my best to live up to that in and out of the ring. I beat the odds when I suffered my stroke in 2002, but it is now yet again, that I draw upon the many adults and young children I've met throughout my life who courageously fought and usually lost in their battles against this deadly disease. One year ago, I watched a brave young man named Whesley fight brain cancer to the end. If I can find even an ounce of his courage to stand unafraid and face the tough road ahead of me, I will march toward this destiny with his spirit chanting in my ear.

I make a solemn vow to all of those that once believed in me, the dead and the living, that I will wage my fearsome fight against cancer with one shield and one sword carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love that's kept me going this long already. Love is my weapon and I've got much of it around me all the time, for which I'm truly blessed and eternally grateful. My children, grandchildren, and my loving wife Steph have been and will constantly be at my side. I refuse to lose, I will never give in or give up, and I will win this battle or die trying.

Most important of all, I hope I can take the fight to prostate cancer. To be a leader in awareness and to set the example for men everywhere who find themselves in my very same shoes, that prostate cancer can be beaten.

I'm so proud of @brethitmanhart for coming forward about his battle with cancer and using his voice to help others. I know it's taken a lot of courage for Bret to share this, but now his voice is a powerful tool that can help inspire the masses. If anyone can beat this, it's Bret. #bestthereisbesttherewasbestthereeverwillbe ??-- natbynature (@natbynature) on Feb 1, 2016 at 9:50am PST


Since I was a teenager @brethitmanhart has been a hero and an inspiration to me. And today he continues to inspire me, by going public with his battle with cancer. Join me in standing by him and fighting with him until he beats this disease!! #HitmanForever -- Chris Jericho (@chrisjerichofozzy) on Feb 1, 2016 at 10:48am PST


Doch nicht nur Bret Hart, sondern auch sein Bruder Smith Hart gab auf Facebook bekannt, dass er an Prostata- und Knochenkrebs erkrankt ist. Er hat bis dato noch keine Prognose erhalten, wie die Behandlung aussehen wird. Er hat noch genug Kraft für seinen letzten Kampf in sich.

"This week my doctors confirmed that I have both prostate cancer and bone cancer. I have not yet received a full prognosis on what is yet to come nor my options for treatment. It is quite sad that despite the millions that have died from this tragic disease and the billions that have been raised for research that this ailment has yet to be eradicated from history. Given the diagnosis I will be spending my upcoming time focused on finishing and hopefully releasing my autobiography, which I anticipate to be a full and comprehensive look at my family, Stampede wrestling and some of the most notable moments in wrestling history as I was able to ride shotgun and have first-hand witness account to 66 years of the Hart families triumphs and tragedies. Thanks for the prayers, but hold on because I am not done fighting yet. I will update accordingly."

CAGEMATCH.de wünscht den Hart-Brüdern und ihrer Familie viel Kraft in dieser Zeit.
