According to a new report, Hollywood star and his wife are both
struggling with skin cancer. Vinnie Jones, 48 year old former football
player, promised that he will fight against his disease with everything
he had.
Jones had played against Wimbledon, Chelsea and Leeds United in his
successful career as a footballer. He said that he once noticed a lump
beneath his right eye, which shocked him of serious skin disease. Jones
said that he immediately consulted a doctor, which told him of the
growth of melanoma.
Melanoma is serious skin disease and about 2,000 people in UK are
killed with this disease every year. Jones shares his experience and
said that he immediately asked the doctor that for how much time he was
suffering with this disease.
“Cancer is horrible word to hear. I’ve faced biggest and ugliest
lads on football field and been in some nasty brawls. But this is my
toughest and scariest opponent yet”, said Jones. Jones had undergone an
operation to remove his lump, but he said that later on two more lumps
were again discovered by him.
He had been through his third operation two months after he found his
lumps on the back pof his head. Not only Jones, but his wife Tanya, a
47 year old lady, had also been through number of operations in her
fight against cancer.
