Friske's husband commented on the singer's death

The common-law husband of singer Zhanna Friske, Dmitry Shepelev, thanked everyone who provided material and spiritual support to Zhanna, who had been struggling with a serious illness for 1.5 years. He wrote about this on his Facebook.

“We always repeated: “Happiness loves silence.” I remain true to these words, because Zhanna remains for me an absolute, pure, unique happiness... I know for sure that we could not cope without you. I want to thank everyone: who donated money for Zhanna’s treatment, prayed for her health, simply thought about her, wished her happiness and strength. I want you to know: these two years are largely your fault. Thank you,” Shepelev wrote.

In the last months of Friske’s life, doctors and a nurse abandoned her

The singer’s sister and mother independently looked after Zhanna for six months until her death.

Doctors and a nurse abandoned the dying Zhanna Friske several months before the tragedy. The singer’s sister Natalya told LifeNews about this. According to her, doctors recorded a significant deterioration in Zhanna’s condition six months ago and accepted the fact that they could no longer help her.

Over the past five months, Zhannochka’s condition has worsened, she was often unconscious, all the doctors abandoned her, the sister complained. - Only my mother and I looked after Zhanna. But before that, my mother never trusted anyone to take medications - she did everything herself.

According to her, the last of those who literally ran away from the dying singer was a nurse who was recommended to the Friske family in one of the Moscow hospitals. The woman not only refused to provide assistance to the artist’s loved ones, but also almost killed Jeanne herself.

She seemed wonderful and sensitive to us, but after spending only one night in the house, she simply turned around and left. And she left Zhanna alone. Mom saw this when Zhanna was lying face down on the pillow and almost suffocated, Natalya recalls.

Let us remind you that Zhanna Friske died in her house near Moscow on Monday, June 15, at 22:30. Only an hour and a half after this, her friend Olga Orlova, finally realizing that Zhanna was no longer there, called an ambulance. Arriving doctors confirmed the death of the artist.

Dmitry Shepelev: Zhanna was absolute and pure happiness for me


Zhanna Friske's common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev on his Facebook page thanked everyone who has been with the singer lately.

The common-law husband of singer Zhanna Friske, Dmitry Shepelev, published a post on his Facebook page in which he spoke about the last two years of his difficult struggle with his beloved’s illness and thanked everyone who helped Zhanna during this difficult time. This is Shepelev's first public statement after Friske's death.

We always repeated: “Happiness loves silence.” I remain true to these words, because Zhanna remains absolute for me...

Posted by Dmitry Shepelev on June 16, 2015
- We always repeated: “Happiness loves silence.” I remain true to these words, because Zhanna remains for me absolute, pure, unique happiness. We didn't give up and fought to win. They say that 2 years in such a situation is a long time. But, of course, for us this is very little... - Shepelev wrote.

The artist's common-law husband thanked everyone who helped Zhanna and her family in the fight against the disease - both financially and with prayers and kind words. According to Dmitry Shepelev, now he is going to focus on helping those who, like Friske, are fighting for their lives and health to the end and do not give up.

For a year and a half, Zhanna Friske tried to defeat brain cancer - she was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis in early 2014. After lengthy treatment in clinics in Germany and the USA, the singer and her family moved to the Baltic states. In the summer of 2014, Friske began to recover: her vision, partially lost due to the tumor, began to return, she noticeably lost weight, stood on her feet and could move around without a wheelchair. Nevertheless, doctors warned that after radiation therapy, Friske may experience complications - post-radiation changes in the brain.

Many stars of Russian show business and friends of the singer expressed their condolences. Among those who until the last moment kept in touch with Friske, who, due to illness, tried to lead an almost reclusive lifestyle, was her colleague and close friend Dmitry Nagiyev. Singer and composer Dmitry Malikov called the words from their last song with Friske prophetic.

The singer, according to her father, will be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery in the capital.

Zhanna Friske's son will not be brought to the funeral, fearing for his psyche

The singer’s sister Natalya Friske told LifeNews that at the family council they decided to leave two-year-old Plato in Bulgaria.

The son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev will not be brought to his mother’s funeral, so as not to traumatize the two-year-old’s psyche. The singer’s sister told LifeNews about this.

According to her, Shepelev himself will return to Moscow on the first flight to see his wife off on her last journey. Earlier it became known that Zhanna Friske would be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery.

Dima left for Bulgaria with a heavy heart, and as soon as he found out about what had happened, he was going to take the first flight here. They will most likely leave the child there so that he does not see this,” Natalya said.

Now the singer’s relatives and friends are puzzled not only by preparing for the farewell ceremony with Zhanna, but also by resolving questions regarding the future fate of little Plato. According to Natalya, his father will raise the boy.

I hope that we will see our nephew on weekends,” said Natalya Friske.

Let us remind you that Zhanna Friske died in her house near Moscow on Monday, June 15, at 22:30. Only an hour and a half after this, her friend Olga Orlova, finally realizing that Zhanna was no longer there, called an ambulance. Arriving doctors confirmed the death of the artist.

Nevertheless, doctors warned that after radiation therapy, Friske may experience complications - post-radiation changes in the brain.

In recent months, Zhanna Friske lived in Moscow in a country house with her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev and little son Platon.

Zhanna Friske spent three months before her death in a coma

The father of the popular Russian singer who died the day before, Vladimir Friske, said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda radio that Zhanna Friske spent the last three months in a coma. According to him, the singer’s family did not inform anyone about this fact all this time.

Shortly before her death, the media write, Zhanna Friske stopped recognizing her loved ones. In recent days, the family has not left the singer: doctors have already predicted the imminent end. At the time of her death, her parents, sister Natalia and a close friend, ex-soloist of the group “Brilliant” Olga Orlova, were with her.

Zhanna Platon's son and her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev were not nearby at the time of death. The father and child are in Bulgaria.

“The child must stay with his father. If he gives it to us, allows us to raise him, we will help, naturally... He will not be left without anyone,” says the singer’s father, Vladimir Friske.

The singer's funeral is scheduled for Thursday, June 18. Zhanna will most likely be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery in the Balashikha district of the Moscow region.

Let us recall that Zhanna Friske’s serious illness became known in January 2014. She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Viewers collected more than 60 million rubles to help the singer, but she donated some of it to help children suffering from cancer.

Zhanna Friske gained fame as a member of the group "Brilliant", then she began a solo career. She starred in the films “Night Watch”, “Day Watch” and “What Men Talk About”.

Malikov called the words from their last song with Friske prophetic


The famous singer and composer Dmitry Malikov recalled working with Zhanna Friske on a song, which became one of the last in the singer’s career.

Relatives and friends, colleagues and fans of Zhanna Friske mourn the death of the singer. Everyone who cared about the popular performer is trying to support her family in this tragic moment and share their memories of Zhanne as a kind and decent person.

Zhanna Friske recorded one of her last songs as a duet with Dmitry Malikov. It contained the words: “Snow falls quietly on the palm of your hand and melts, it’s not easy for me now, I miss you so much.” As the singer noted, it was these lines that became prophetic, because after that duet the connection between the artists was severed.

I can’t say that Zhanna was my close friend. But I was lucky enough to meet her on the same stage many times, and Zhanna recorded one of her last songs as a duet with me, this was a year and a half ago. The song is very light and danceable, with the words: “Snow falls quietly on the palm of your hand and melts, it’s not easy for me now, I miss you so much.” These very touching words in a sense became prophetic, because then she left for America, there was a very difficult birth, her illness began, and since then we have lost contact. But the song remains, lives on and is liked by many. “I’m now on tour in the north, and when I woke up and opened the news, this news, of course, shocked and shocked me,” Malikov said.

According to Malikov, he learned news about Zhanna Friske’s health from her friend and former partner in “Brilliant” Olga Orlova. The singer believed until the last moment that Zhanna would recover.

During her illness, we did not keep in touch, but I always learned about her condition from Olga Orlova. In the last few weeks and months, I lost track of her, and it seemed to me that the situation was getting better, but everything turned out the other way around,” Dmitry said.

Let us remind you that information about the death of Zhanna Friske appeared on the night of Monday to Tuesday. For a year and a half, the singer struggled with a terrible disease, but still failed to defeat brain cancer. The singer spent her last days unconscious in her house near Moscow. Many stars of Russian show business and friends of the singer expressed their condolences. Zhanna Friske, according to her father, will be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery in the capital.

Three mysteries of the death of Zhanna Friske


The details of the death of singer Zhanna Friske are still known from relatives and friends only in the most general terms - Zhanna’s father and friends are in a state of shock. However, what is known also raises questions.

Several months in a coma at home

Zhanna, according to her father Vladimir Borisovich, died in her parents’ house in an elite village in the Balashikha area - the singer returned there after treatment in the USA. Zhanna’s father, in an interview with MK, said that his daughter had been in a coma for the last three months, but they did not want to take her to any hospital. How did this become possible?

Vladimir Borisovich explained this by saying that the doctors, understanding Zhanna’s serious condition, did not want her to die in their medical institution. But why did the family agree to this? How can a person in a coma stay at home? After all, to maintain life you need special devices, a lot of medicines... At the Balashikha Cancer Center they told us that they had not received any requests from Zhanna’s relatives.

According to unconfirmed information, not long ago Zhanna was seen together with her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev for a walk in the park. However, passers-by could recognize each other...

Why was the ambulance called so late and who was next to Zhanna?

As reported by the media, Zhanna died at half past ten in the evening on Monday, June 15. An ambulance was called to the house in Balashikha only after midnight - and it is said that it was not Zhanna’s relatives who called it, but her close friend Olga Orlova.

When we called Olga Orlova, she said that she could find the strength to tell the sad details only after her friend’s funeral.

— Why didn’t you call an ambulance right away? - we asked Olga.

- I’m not ready to answer you right now...

“The only thing Olga explained was that Zhanna did not have a nurse.

According to Zhanna’s sister, Natalya Friske, cited by Lifenews, a private nurse was hired to care for Zhanna, but she... ran away. Natalya herself and the singer’s mother looked after her sister. Why were the doctors called only almost three hours after Zhanna died? Was anyone with her at the time of her death? There are no answers to these questions yet.

The common-law husband and father of Zhanna Platon’s child, Dmitry Shepelev, was in Bulgaria with his son when Friske died, having flown there the day before the tragic event. Those around Friske said that it was impossible to leave, knowing about his wife’s critical condition.

Zhanna’s parents are ready to raise her son Platon, but Vladimir Borisovich made a reservation in a conversation with us: this will happen if he and his wife “are trusted with the child.”

Dmitry Shepelev must fly to his wife’s funeral, but he will leave Plato in Bulgaria, said Natalya Friske. And in the future it is my father who intends to study Plato. Does this mean that there are internal conflicts in Jeanne's family? God grant that this turns out not to be the case...

Olga Orlova: “Now I’m organizing a funeral, and I’m in so much pain that I can’t explain anything”


Zhanna Friske's closest friend, who took all possible part in rescuing the singer, cannot hold back her tears.

There are no indifferent people either among the singer’s colleagues or all those who sincerely believed in her recovery. Everyone who deeply sympathized with Zhanna Friske at the stage of treatment and struggle for life today speaks and writes about her, thereby expressing their general grief over what happened.

Despite this, the media began to circulate information that two days before the singer’s death, her husband Dmitry Shepelev left with their child for Bulgaria, allegedly leaving his wife.

With the question of why the TV presenter left, we turned to our closest friend Zhanna Friske, who was next to her all this time, trying to save her:

Olga Orlova, friend of Zhanna Friske: “I’m in too much pain, I can’t talk”

— The funeral will take place on Thursday, I will announce the exact time and details later. Now I’m organizing a funeral, and I’m in so much pain that I can’t explain anything, sorry! - Olga could not hold back her tears...

Meanwhile, a growing number of celebrities are expressing condolences over the passing of Jeanne:

But... sometimes even the strongest can’t! You fought to the end! You're the best! You will always be an example for me, of course, and a standard of female beauty! Honey, we won't forget you!

denisklyaver: So early and unfair…..Goodbye Dear Zhannochka……….We mourn……….

lopyrevavika: You never know what will happen tomorrow...and we so often waste precious minutes of our lives on all sorts of nonsense, not realizing that this thin thread can break at any moment. And that’s it...you will never again be able to tell a person how dear he is to you or just take his hand and be silent. Appreciate and love each other here and now, so that later you don’t regret that you didn’t have time to say or do something very important! r.i.p. Zhanna... I wish my friends and family strength to survive this tragedy? Kingdom of Heaven.

Victoriabonya: I don’t want to believe, it’s painful to realize, it’s hard to find words... We all hoped and believed... Rest in peace, Zhanna... May you rest in peace...

Zhanna Friske's father announced the date and place of farewell to the singer

Farewell to singer Zhanna Friske, who passed away tonight, will take place tomorrow in Moscow at Crocus City Hall. The funeral is scheduled for June 18, the singer will be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery. Her father Vladimir Friske spoke about this.

LifeNews for the first time publishes footage of the beginning of Friske’s treatment in Hamburg. Sorry it didn't help.

The channel has a video in which the singer and her family go to the clinic.

Exclusive footage from Hamburg appeared at the disposal of the editors 2-3 months before the first reports about Zhanna Friske’s illness appeared in the press. The video was filmed in October 2013, the year the singer and her family first crossed the threshold of one of the leading European clinics. A couple of months before, the singer stopped appearing in public and posting current photographs on social networks, but colleagues and fans thought that the young mother was recovering from childbirth and was raising her growing son.

At this time, no one except her closest friends and relatives knew about the singer’s problems. On January 15, 2014, the media published the first reports about the singer’s illness. On January 20, family and relatives confirmed in a statement on the singer’s official website that Zhanna was seriously ill.

After Hamburg, the singer's treatment continued at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Zhanna was ready for any treatment methods, even experiments. Doctors reassure: radiation therapy should help. And indeed, the disease is susceptible. The long-awaited word is remission.

Soon, to continue rehabilitation, Friske and her family moved to the Baltic states. It seemed that she was on the mend: the singer began to regain her vision, partially lost due to the tumor, she noticeably lost weight, stood on her feet and could move around without a wheelchair. However, doctors warned that after radiation therapy, Zhanna may experience complications - post-radiation changes in the brain. And so it happened. The disease has returned. No treatment helped anymore.

Friske struggled with a brain tumor for almost two years, and for the last three months she no longer regained consciousness. Zhanna died in her house near Moscow on Monday, June 15, at 22:30. For a year and a half, she tried to defeat brain cancer - she was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis in early 2014. However, as LifeNews learned, Zhanna Friske’s attending doctors said that she was brought to die at a cancer center in Moscow. Even then, Friske became blind and was in extremely serious condition. Doctors told investigators that the council refused Zhanna Friske treatment due to high risks.

The singer’s husband, Dmitry Shepelev, according to LifeNews, left Zhanna Friske two days before her death and went to Bulgaria, taking his son Plato with him. Doctors warned him that he might not see his wife alive, but Dmitry still flew abroad.

In the LifeNews studio, Otar Kushanashvili expressed condolences to the family of Zhanna Friske and paid tribute to Olga Orlova, the singer’s friend, who remained with her until the last minute. Otar Kushanashvili is sure that Zhanna always, even knowing about her incurable illness, remained the embodiment of love for life solely for the sake of her son Plato, her husband and family.

Moscow says goodbye to Zhanna Friske


A long line of fans of the singer formed near the Crocus City Hall concert hall, many of them holding flowers.

Farewell to singer Zhanna Friske, who died at the age of 41, is taking place in the Moscow Crocus City Hall concert hall.

The coffin was placed in the hall of the concert hall. There are vases with flowers and wreaths around the coffin. Music plays, and photographs and footage from the singer’s videos are shown on the screen. Jeanne's relatives are near the coffin.

Singers Olga Orlova, Anna Semenovich, Diana Gurtskaya, Ksenia Novikova, singers Dmitry Malikov, Igor Nikolaev, Sergey Lazarev, Mitya Fomin, trainer Edgard Zapashny and many others came to say goodbye to Zhanna Friske.

Hundreds of people have already said goodbye to the singer, they are coming in an endless stream. The tables in front of the coffin are littered with flowers. The farewell will last until 20.00.

About three thousand people came to say goodbye to Zhanna Friske


In Moscow, at least 3 thousand people came to say goodbye to singer Zhanna Friske. TASS reports this.

The famous Russian singer Zhanna Friske died on the night of June 16 at the age of 41 due to brain cancer.

Dmitry Shepelev: “I proposed to Zhanna. And we wanted to get married!”

>The popular TV presenter, the father of the singer’s child, told KP about the last days of the woman he loved.

“Zhanna remains an absolute, pure, unique happiness for me,” her common-law husband, the famous TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev, wrote in his blog after the death of Zhanna Friske.

For two years, Dima, together with Zhanna’s relatives, fought for her life. Alas, the miracle that everyone so wanted to believe in did not happen.

Dmitry Shepelev was not present at the farewell ceremony for Zhanna. At these moments, Dima was with their two-year-old son Plato in Bulgaria, where he left shortly before Zhanna left.

The Komsomolskaya Pravda website managed to talk with Dmitry when he flew to Moscow to say goodbye to the woman he loved and the mother of his son at the funeral.

“I was waiting for my father to arrive to look after Plato.”

— Dima, we bring you condolences from the journalists and readers of KP.

- Thank you. Thank you.

— Your fans are wondering why you weren’t at the farewell ceremony for Zhanna today?

“A few hours ago I was with our child in Bulgaria. And he waited for his grandfather, my father, to come to us at the first opportunity in order to keep an eye on Plato and not leave him alone with the nanny.

The child must be supervised. For us it is very important.

As soon as my father arrived, this happened several hours ago, I immediately

flew to Moscow. Yesterday there was a ceremony for Jeanne's fans. Public ceremony. Today it is much more intimate: liturgy, funeral service and burial. This morning I will be with my beloved woman.

— And they also discussed on the Internet why you flew to Bulgaria on the eve of Zhanna’s departure. I take it because of my son? So that Plato would not be present at his mother’s last moments?

“It was known a month ago that I would take the child to the sea.” Tickets were purchased and visas were issued. During this time we understood that anything could happen. But none of the doctors, neither in Russia, nor in Germany, nor in America, from those with whom I consulted, could say when trouble might happen. It was clear that Zhanna was in critical condition, but no one could predict anything.

This could go on for days, weeks, months. And, of course, no one made any plans. It's all in the family... Let me speak on behalf of the whole family. We agree on the main thing: the child should not suffer. And, if possible, the child should have a full summer. Therefore, we knew in advance that on the 14th, on Sunday, he would fly away to rest.

And you must understand, I spent these two years with Zhanna, without leaving... And I followed her everywhere she was. Because I knew that my loved one needed support. And the fact that this happened due to this, I will say, is nothing other than a monstrous coincidence of circumstances; there is no other way to call it. Of course, if I had a choice, I would want to be with her at these moments. The fact that this happened within 24 hours after we left with the child is nothing more than a coincidence. On the other hand, I am calm for my son and am very glad that all these tragic events are bypassing him. I don't think it's right for him to be there.

“You have to fight even if it’s a game with death”

— The trouble that came to your house is familiar to many. For example, my aunt also died from a similar disease. And there are many such tragedies in the families of KP readers. The question arises: is it really impossible to be cured in Russia, but only abroad there are these miraculous vaccines that can prolong the life of our loved ones for some period of time...

— Russian doctors do a great job. And first of all, I would like to thank the dozens of Russian doctors who were responsive to us. Many people helped us absolutely free of charge.

And they did a lot for our family. More than they should have.

Therefore, first of all, I must say words of gratitude. There are some circumstances that ordinary doctors cannot change. A much more serious question is what treatment is available in Russia...

And, believe me, the treatment that exists now can help a lot of people. But Russian doctors are not omnipotent. There are technologies that, unfortunately, are not available to Russia. For example, only in America. Or in Israel.

This is also no secret. That's why we face the circumstances we face. You can get treatment in Russia. The most important thing is to fight. From the very beginning to the very end. Even if it's a game with death, in my opinion.

— Yesterday there was a very warm farewell ceremony. And it seemed to many that Zhanna saw all the fans who came to say goodbye to her. It is difficult to talk about Zhanna in the past tense. Tell me, did she want to return to the stage? What plans did she have?

- You know, our son has always been a priority for us. This is undoubtedly the most important thing that happened in my life and hers. Therefore, the most important thing we talked about, the most important thing for us, is how we will raise our child. This is exactly what she dreamed about. And that’s exactly what she was talking about. I think that this is much stronger, much greater happiness than going on stage. Although, of course, performing made her happy, because she was born for this.

“The memory of a loved one is the strongest motivation”

- And you wanted to get married, as far as I understand...

- We discussed this. I proposed to her.

— In an interview with KP, you once said that sometimes it’s not you, but Zhanna who supports you and finds wise words. Did she say something about a possible departure or was the topic never brought up?

- No, we never discussed this.

— I know that you are now planning to open an information fund for people who, like Zhanna, are struggling with this serious diagnosis, brain cancer. Are you doing this in memory of Zhanna?

MOSCOW, June 18, 2015, 07:03 - REGNUM Dmitry Shepelev, the common-law husband of Zhanna Friske, told at the Burgas airport (Bulgaria) why he was not at Crocus City Hall, where a farewell to the singer took place on June 17.

According to him, he had to wait in Bulgaria for the arrival of his father, grandfather Plato, who was supposed to stay with the 2-year-old boy. After that, he was only able to get tickets for the evening flight. At the same time, he denied claims that even before departure he knew that Zhanna would die in the coming days: the trip with Plato to the sea was planned a month ago.

“I will probably regret for the rest of my life that this coincided. There can be no question of any escape or the fact that I took the child from Zhanna,” Shepelev told Super.

According to Shepelev, on June 18 the most important events for the family and for him will take place: liturgy, funeral service, funeral.

Zhanna Friske died on the evening of June 15 at her parents' house in the Moscow region. The singer's father said that she had been in a coma for the last three months.

Red roses and a funeral cortege - Zhanna Friske was seen off on her last journey

Singer Zhanna Friske, who died at the age of 41 after a long illness, was buried on Thursday at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery in Balashikha, near Moscow.

On her page on the social network Facebook, Natalya Friske published one of the last photos during her lifetime. The photo published on social networks shows Zhanna, Natalya and their mother Olga holding Zhanna Friske’s son Platon in her arms. Zhanna Friske smiles in this photo, using her signature smile - fans familiar with Zhanna’s biography until the last days of her life suggest that the photo of Zhanna Friske was already taken in the Baltics, where Zhanna was rehabilitated after America, reports Lady.Mail.Ru.

Zhanna Friske’s friend and Plato’s godmother also publishes numerous archival photos on social networks in which Zhanna Friske is still full of life and enthusiasm to reach new heights of Russian show business. However, relatives do not have photographs of Zhanna Friske directly in the last days of her life, since, as Zhanna’s father Vladimir Borisovich Friske told reporters, for the last three months she has been a bright Russian singer.

Let us remind you that at 22:30 Moscow time in the house of his parents, located in Balashikha. The last two years of her life, the Russian singer struggled with an inoperable brain tumor (glioblastoma), which could not be dealt with either in the USA, China, or the Russian Federation - Zhanna tried her best to overcome the cancer, she wanted to live and made plans for the future. In particular, together with her husband Friske, she helped people with cancer, but she did not have time to bring her plans to life.

Natalya Friske, after the death of her star sister, told reporters that lately it had been extremely difficult for Zhanna: since the condition of the beloved singer of millions of Russians and fans from neighboring countries has recently deteriorated sharply. It was reported that Zhanna saw practically nothing in the last months of her life - her father said that she understood what the deterioration of her health would lead to, therefore, preparing for death. Orlova refutes these data; in her opinion, Zhanna supposedly believed in her recovery until the very end, made grandiose plans and was full of optimism until the illness put her to bed in an unconscious state.

On June 15, after several months of such torment, Zhanna Friske died. Her family organized June 17, 2015 in memory of Frisk; relatives and over 3,000 fans of the singer gathered in the capital’s Crocus City Hall. at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery.

An innovative Russian oncologist explained whether it is possible to spot cancer in time, who can do it and how, whether it makes sense to collect millions of rubles for treatment, and is there a chance to survive?

“Cancer of the poor” and “cancer of the rich”, “disease of offended people” and generational curse. All these are not myths or fairy tales, but a cruel reality that every third Russian will face. After this interview, your life will not be the same: someone will think about their lifestyle, someone will begin to frantically undergo oncology tests, and someone - it is possible - will give up and begin to enjoy every day they live. An oncologist, candidate of medical sciences, spoke in an interview with URA.Ru about why Zhanna Friske’s death was a foregone conclusion, why Russia will never get rid of “Apanasenko syndrome” and why everyone needs to do three things right tomorrow.Pavel Popov.

— Pavel Borisovich, the first question is the simplest and most difficult at the same time: why does cancer occur?

“I am of the opinion that cancer is a mechanism of self-destruction. Nature has created many such mechanisms, including atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus and many other diseases. The evolutionary feasibility of such a mechanism lies in the fact that it allows for a change of generations and a reduction in intraspecific competition. Nature is interested in subjects of active reproductive age, and as soon as this age ends (for a person this is 30-40 years), a timer is turned on, which begins to implement the genetic mechanism of self-destruction. Therefore, the percentage of malignant tumors begins to increase exponentially after 40 years. In the language of science, this is called “phenoptosis” - the hypothesis of programmed death.

— Has science come to a consensus about the causes of cancer? Or is this just one of the hypotheses?

— In science, by definition, there cannot be a consensus, otherwise it is not science, but religion. But the facts that are now known allow us to substantiate the opinion that I expressed - this is phenoptosis. You can disagree with him, you can criticize him, but there is no criticism that could completely refute him. This is at least indicated by the fact that

Oncogenes - DNA fragments that encode products necessary for the formation of a malignant tumor - are also involved in other biological processes. Without them, the human body would not have developed from the very beginning.

This means that the entire mechanism of carcinogenesis was created specifically by evolution. At least the previously existing opinion that a malignant tumor is the result of a random genetic failure does not stand up to criticism. In order for a cell to become malignant, six mutations must occur in it successively, which is impossible from the point of view of probability theory.

— If we agree that nature regulates the number of individuals past reproductive age, then why is cancer so common among young people, in children? There are plenty of examples...

— Here you need to understand that only certain types of cancer have become “younger.” For example, cervical cancer has become younger because it is directly linked to the human papillomavirus (HPV). Since people become sexually active much earlier than, say, 30-50 years ago, and maintain many chaotic relationships, many women become infected at the age of 15-17. Within ten years, the virus is guaranteed to trigger the genetic code of cancer, and if we add this period to the average age of onset of sexual activity, then we have the incidence of cervical cancer among women under thirty years of age. For stomach and breast cancer, the average age of its manifestation (manifestation) remains approximately the same as twenty years ago.

And one more point: the development of medicine has led to the fact that We have practically eradicated infant mortality. As a result, natural selection no longer operates during the birth and nursing stages. Even over the last ten to twenty years, medicine has made a great leap forward, and now even the most non-viable babies are nursed, which has significantly changed the structure of the population.

A paradox emerges: the higher the level of development of medicine, the lower the health of the nation. By eliminating natural selection factors, we create bionegative selection, since these children live to adulthood and leave offspring.

It sounds harsh, but high infant mortality rates in the early 20th century meant that adults were generally healthier.

In addition, the structure of population mortality has changed. In the first half of the 20th century, the main causes of death were infections, hunger and war injuries; accordingly, the proportion of cancer diseases was several times lower. Nowadays, lethal factors such as infections, famine and war injuries have been minimized in developed countries, and their place has been taken by cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In countries with low living standards, people still die mainly from infections, hunger and war.

— The conclusion arises that common forms of cancer are provoked by the development of medicine. Let's record this. The question is different. People are very afraid of cancer, so they come up with all sorts of myths that somehow explain its appearance. For example, “cancer is a disease of offended people.” Can thoughts, actions, moods provoke thought cancer?

“Unfortunately or fortunately, we do not have such control over our body that we can, with the power of thought or anything else, prevent cancer or cause it. Only the genetic constitution and a number of different factors are at work here. In fact, oncology is an illustration of the folk wisdom about “it was written in the family.” Cancer can be predicted: for example, if previous generations suffered from cancer, then, most likely, phenoptosis will work in a similar way in their descendants. But there is no guarantee that atherosclerosis will not work earlier. But a person has no power to choose his own ending. Unless he is an alcoholic or a drug addict, that is, he wants to destroy himself long before his cancerous phenoptosis works.

As for the “offended people,” let’s see who is usually offended among us. These are people after forty years of age with midlife crisis syndrome - they are the ones who fall into the age category when phenoptosis begins to work. And if our pessimistic friend over forty dies of cancer, then a person far from medicine and science can connect these two factors.

— Does the psychological mood somehow affect the outcome of treatment? It’s also a popular myth: believe in the best and you will be cured. And if he was not cured and died, it means he gave up.

“My experience with chemotherapy has shown that if a person is at the stage when the generalization of the process has begun, then neither nutrition, nor lifestyle, nor psychological attitude can change the inevitable ending. Alas. Moreover, the treatment that is sometimes used in the hope of a miracle tends to bring the end closer rather than delay it. When Zhanna Friske went to America, I already knew the ending of this trip and even predicted when it would all end. There is no magic: there are statistical data on how long a patient lives after being diagnosed with glioblastoma. A year or two depending on how he was treated.

— By the way, speaking of Zhanna Friske. After her death, there was another surge in myth-making: even in the federal press they began to use the terminology “cancer of the rich” and “cancer of the poor” - they say, expensive anti-aging procedures are to blame.

— “Cancer of the rich” and “cancer of the poor” certainly exist. Only it is expressed exclusively in how the patient will feel during the illness. A rich person can afford expensive treatment, decent care, and some last joys in life. But the poor one doesn’t. But the ending will be the same for both, believe me. If this cancer is treated at all, such as basal cell carcinoma (one of the types of skin cancer - ed.), then the poor will be treated “cheaply and cheerfully” - with short-focus X-rays, and the rich will pay for photodynamic therapy from their own funds. But if the problem does not have a solution within the limits of scientific knowledge of today, as is the case with pancreatic cancer, then the rich cannot “buy off”.

Just remember Apple founder Steve Jobs; his entire fortune did not help him overcome the disease.

— What about nutrition and bad habits? Lists of “carcinogenic” products are published on the Internet every now and then—it’s scary to read.

— Nitrites, which are a mandatory additive in sausages, increase the likelihood of developing stomach and colon cancer by two to three times. So it’s not safe to eat smoked meats and sausage every day. Products intensely fried in fats cause approximately the same harm. If we talk about vegetarianism, then those who do not eat meat are much more likely to develop stomach cancer due to gastritis. Yes, vegetarians are more likely to experience gastritis when they eat plant foods that do not contain buffer proteins that neutralize the effects of acids on the mucous membrane. But there is a nuance: those who do not eat vegetables at all are more likely to get colon cancer.

With a low dietary fiber content, problems with stool and chronic colitis occur, which is also a background for the formation of malignant tumors in the intestines. However, we must understand that this probability is not too high. I’ll tell you honestly: you shouldn’t worry so much about food, its harmfulness and usefulness. There are no foods that can insure you against cancer. And there are no diseases that are guaranteed to cause cancer if you maintain moderation in your diet and create a balanced diet. AND, Of course, statistically, lung cancer occurs more often in smokers. Make a choice.

— Excess weight is also called one of the factors causing cancer. This is true?

- They call it, yes. However, there is no reliable relationship. Within their age group, thin people get sick just as often as obese people.

— Oncologists voice the same idea: cancer is curable, but in the early stages. But identifying it at these stages is quite difficult. What's the difficulty? Lack of diagnosis or careless attitude of people towards their health?

— Oncologists are absolutely right, cancer is indeed curable at an early stage, only they are slyly silent about what this stage is and what is meant by cure. If we talk about a complete cure, then cancer is 100% curable only at stage zero (non-invasive cancer), when the tumor is a thin film within the upper layer of the skin or mucous membrane. The thickness of such a film is less than a millimeter. And already at the first stage of cancer, when the tumor grows only a few millimeters deep, the process of dissemination begins - circulating tumor cells appear in the blood. Some of them parachute from the bloodstream into the tissue of the lymph nodes, liver, lungs, bones, and brain and create new colonies there - micrometastases, which are so small that they cannot be detected during normal examination, for example, with ultrasound or computed tomography. According to the data I received, melanoma is in the lead (due to its high mortality rate, skin melanoma is called the “queen” of malignant tumors); already at a thickness of 1.6 mm, micrometastases are present in every fifth patient.

So, when they say that at the first and second stages cancer is curable, it does not mean cure, but remission - a clear interval from 1 to 5 years (depending on your luck), after which in 80% of patients the disease recurs in the form of growing metastases, and the ending is known to everyone. And at the “zero” stage, the cancer does not bother the patient and he does not seek help.

The statistics I collected say that more than half of patients seek medical help in advanced stages. Although it is not difficult to make a visual diagnosis, outpatient doctors, who are the first to see patients, extremely rarely recognize this tumor even at stages 1-2, not to mention “zero”.

I have encountered cases where a local physician mistook a palm-sized melanoma for a birthmark. This is due to the low level of professionalism.

If this is the case with the early detection of cancer of external localization, then is it surprising that cancer of the esophagus, stomach cancer or other internal organs is detected obviously late: such a tumor at an early stage does not cause any inconvenience to the patient and can only be detected by chance, during an endoscopic examination . But which of us just goes for an endoscopy once a year? No one.

— What about tumor markers? Will they help detect cancer?

— Firstly, tumor markers are not early means of detecting a tumor. I think that this type of diagnosis works when we are talking about dissemination (spread - editor's note) of the tumor. According to the data I received, in 80% of cases, an elevated melanoma tumor marker indicates tumor dissemination. However, there is a benefit from this tool, since it allows you to evaluate the treatment process over time, to see whether the tumor is progressing or whether the treatment is moving toward remission. But, for example, in case of prostate cancer, the PSA tumor marker makes it possible to detect prostate cancer earlier than ultrasound.

— Only in Russia, with our diagnostic system, is it difficult to detect a tumor in the early stages? Or in other countries too? Do you have statistics?

— In general, cancer statistics in Russia are the most dishonest due to a number of circumstances, and we, oncologists, know this very well. The percentage may be underestimated at the request of the regional or city administration to demonstrate the success of officials in the fight against cancer.

I know of a completely anecdotal case in which a high-ranking official ordered the registration of deaths of cancer patients in affiliated funeral homes in a neighboring region in order to demonstrate a decrease in mortality in his own, supposedly as a result of skillful management of health care. Everything was fine until a scandal broke out in the neighboring region: the mortality rate there doubled!

Foreign statistics in this sense are much more honest. In America, with all its diagnosis and treatment, 95% of patients die from esophageal cancer. The reason is the same as ours - late detection. This is an international problem. And this is connected not so much with the development of technology, but with the mentality of people.

The average Russian goes to the doctor when something hurts; few people take care of their health.

In Germany, due to voluntary medical examination, there is statistically more cancer detected at an early stage, and the highest percentage of remissions for stomach cancer is in Japan - they buy a gastroscope for a family there. Do you know people who would go to the doctor and regularly have gastroscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy?

In Russia, prevention is as follows: they hand out brochures in clinics that describe the symptoms of cancer - weight loss, poor appetite, constant pain. A person with cancer has some pain and loses weight, which means that the disease has gone too far. And you no longer need to go to a doctor, but to a priest.

— There is an opinion that Israeli clinics are actively lobbying for, noting that treatment protocols in Russia are outdated, and diagnostics are a complete disaster. What do you say about this?

— I have never seen treatment protocols that are more outdated than in Israel anywhere. Here's a good example: in 2004, a patient came to me for consultation about colonorectal cancer. We recommended removing the affected area of ​​the intestine and administering chemotherapy according to the most modern regimen at that time. The patient, believing that they would not give good advice in Russia, flew to Israel. There he was operated on and prescribed chemotherapy according to a scheme as old as time. When the patient showed my recommendation to the Israeli oncologists, they told him that they were treating according to their standard, and the recommended Russian regimen was only undergoing clinical testing in Israel.

The situation is similar with the treatment of melanoma in Israel. Even for melanoma with a Breslow tumor thickness of more than four millimeters, they offer wide excision. So that you understand, the peculiarity of melanoma is that when its thickness reaches four millimeters, the probability of micrometastases appearing in the body is more than 80%. And as soon as we excise the tumor, their rapid growth begins and the patient dies two to three years, or even within a year after the operation. This explosive metastasis can be prevented using photodynamic therapy developed in Russia, which is still not included in the standards of Israeli medicine.

In general, if we compare Russian and Israeli medicine, our diagnostics and treatment are in no way inferior to their foreign counterparts.

Another thing is that the budget of chemotherapy departments does not allow treating all patients with medications at a cost of 200-300 thousand per course. But if a person has money for treatment in Germany or Israel, he can purchase medicines at his own expense and inject them into a vein in Russian clinics, which in the end will cost less, since living in a foreign clinic costs a lot of money, and the prices for instrumental diagnostics , for example, computed tomography, are simply fabulous.

“But people who have been rejected by domestic medicine often go to Israel and Germany for treatment...

“I refused because nothing could be done.” How many people do you know who recovered from such a situation and lived happily ever after? Let's at least remember the celebrities who, having a lot of money and connections, went to foreign clinics for treatment. Alexander Abdulov, Mikhail Kozakov, Raisa Gorbacheva, Zhanna Friske - there is not a single one miraculously cured. Nor are they among those patients with advanced cancer who raise money for their treatment on the Internet.

Simply because it is useless, unfortunately - in the last stages, cancer cannot be cured. It is impossible not only to change the ending, but often even to delay it.

Here is an example from my practice: relatives of a patient with stomach cancer, whose metastases had welded the entire intestine into a tight cocoon, the so-called peritoneal carcinomatosis, came to me for consultation. My verdict: symptomatic therapy and adequate pain relief are all that can be done to help him. In search of the last hope, the patient’s wife turned to an Israeli clinic, where, after examining the discharge documents, they cheerfully told her: “Bring it, we’ll treat you.” The examination, tests, etc. cost fifteen thousand euros, one course of chemistry - the same amount. The patient became worse, and then the cheerful Israeli doctors advised his relatives to take him home to die while he was still able to move, since transporting the “200 load” would cost more.

Another example. A patient with melanoma of the lower third of the trachea, which German doctors refused, after using photodynamic therapy in Russia, went home after the operation. The problem, a dead end for German oncologists in the hospital, was solved in our clinic on an outpatient basis, at minimal cost!

“I recently read about a project that I found interesting: you take a test that, taking into account all factors - age, bad habits, heredity - determines the likelihood that you will get cancer. Then you install the application on your phone and you receive reminders based on the test results. Does it have an effect?

— The probability of dying from cancer is 30% - this is the general statistical probability. In people with elevated risk factors, this probability is higher, but even with the worst heredity it cannot be said that the probability will be, for example, 50%. It simply increases the likelihood that it is not atherosclerosis that will cause your end. This means that no online tests can even approximately determine what your personal likelihood of getting cancer is. And even more so, no application will diagnose you - only a highly qualified specialist. The latter is of key importance because the outpatient doctor may miss early cancer.

Of course, there is a lot of speculation on the topic of early cancer diagnosis - all kinds of programs, applications, diagnoses from photographs. But all this is, in a certain sense, profanation, because a well-trained oncologist will be able to make an accurate diagnosis in a minute with a verification rate of 98%. And the most sophisticated computer with a digital camera makes a diagnosis from a photo with a verification of 50-70% and spends an order of magnitude more time on it.

— Well, well, if things are going well with diagnosis and treatment in Russia, then with palliative care it’s a complete disaster. There are still no federal programs to support hopeless patients, and there are very few hospices. Do you think something will change in this direction?

- Honestly? Nothing will change. Firstly, not a single budget includes an item on “assistance for the dying” - it is too expensive. Secondly, the topic of death is still absolutely taboo for our society. People simply don't want to know that 4 out of 5 cancer center patients will die within a few years.

Until recently, as you remember, the patient was not even told about his diagnosis. Even now, when asked by a patient how long he has left to live, some oncologists shyly turn away. In order for the issue of supporting hopeless cancer patients to be resolved at the federal level, so that comfortable conditions are created for them, the appropriate atmosphere that should be in a hospice - we need to start discussing issues of death directly and bluntly.

— What do you usually advise relatives whose loved ones will soon pass away?

“It often happens that you look at tomography and tests and realize that the patient has less than a year left. No treatment will help, no matter where it is carried out. I could tell the relatives of the patient: “Take him to rest in Antalya or the Maldives while the person is active and can enjoy the world around him, because then there is a known ending.” But I know that my words will not be heeded. They will drag you around to other doctors, magicians, wizards, and will take you to Israel. In due time, the person will die anyway and they won’t even be able to extend his life.

But aggressive treatment methods can add torment to a person exhausted by the disease. In the terminal stage, a person needs nothing except painkillers. But before going to bed, an incurable patient has six months to a year in reserve, when he is still somatically active and the symptoms of the disease do not overwhelm him. Therefore, I recommend that the patient put things in order and communicate with loved ones whom the patient rarely saw.

But people rarely listen to my advice and spend the rest of their lives in clinics for useless and painful treatment.

— By the way, about pain relief. The term “Apanasenko syndrome” has already appeared, when a person commits suicide due to the fact that he could not get pain relief. After a series of such terrible cases, officials announced that they would try to solve the problem, but literally in August there was a wild story in Chelyabinsk when pediatric oncology patients could not be provided with morphine. Is anything being done to solve this problem?

- Nothing. Neither after Apanasenko’s suicide, nor after other cases, the procedure for issuing painkillers did not change. This is due to a contrived system that is supposed to prevent these funds from ending up on the black market. But all over the world, doctors who have a diploma and practice have the right to prescribe such drugs. There are violations, but they are few in number: after all, doctors for the most part are responsible and decent people. If it were possible to return such a system (and it once was), such cases as with Apanasenko would not have happened. But I don’t believe that the Federal Drug Control Service will allow this, because it is easier to twist the arms of doctors than to block billions of drug traffic.

— So there are still stories about how relatives of cancer patients buy heroin from gypsies?

- Anything can happen. But basically the person groans in pain, and his family goes crazy.

- What a nightmare. Tell us better what to do to avoid such a fate.

- First of all, don’t panic. Cancerophobia is also an extreme, there is little benefit or joy from it. Remember that the highest incidence of cancer occurs after 60 years of age. This means that if you are young, you should not constantly exhaust yourself with examinations without special indications. If there are indications (bad heredity, underlying gastrointestinal or respiratory tract diseases), it is advisable to undergo gastroscopy or bronchoscopy once a year. And a colonoscopy if there is a family history of colitis and colon cancer. Everyone else can do it less often.

Women should visit a gynecologist once every six months and demand an extended colposcopy of the cervix - this is like the “Our Father”. If there are any neoplasms on the skin or mucous membranes, you should consult a doctor, and only a highly qualified one. For women over 35 years of age, it is advisable to visit a mammologist once a year and have a mammogram. Cancer prevention brochures often recommend self-diagnosis—that is, palpating the breasts yourself. However, a retrospective analysis shows that such diagnostics are of no use. For men over forty, I would recommend taking the PSA tumor marker.

Contrary to popular belief, the time interval between the stage of cancer that can be cured and the hopeless stage is not six months or a year. This is five, or even ten years. This means that there is enough time to identify most tumors at an early stage, when the outcome of treatment can be optimistic. And remember that science does not stand still. For example, photodynamic therapy, which was introduced into treatment standards four years ago, makes it possible to defeat cancer in the early stages without losing an organ. Be attentive to your health.

A serious illness has changed the beautiful singer beyond recognition

A serious illness has changed the beautiful singer beyond recognition

For several weeks, Zhanna FRISKE underwent treatment at the Memorial Cancer Center. Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Having completed all the necessary procedures, the singer flew to Los Angeles. The day before, American paparazzi photographed the artist during a walk: Zhanna was sitting in a wheelchair, which was rolled down the street by her assistant.

It is known that the singer is courageously fighting a serious illness. Doctors gave the singer a disappointing diagnosis: an inoperable brain tumor. The singer herself refused the operation so as not to harm her child - when the artist found out about her illness, she was pregnant. And only after the birth of Plato, Zhanna completed the entire necessary course of procedures, including chemotherapy. Unfortunately, a fatal illness changed the beautiful singer beyond recognition. However, according to her loved ones, Zhanna is a real fighter: she never gives up and always finds the strength to go to the end.

While walking around Los Angeles, the artist was accompanied by two assistants. Until recently, Zhanna had two people close to her in New York: a friend and a common-law spouse. Every day they took Zhanna to the oncology center for procedures. However, Dmitry was recently forced to return to Moscow to film in the new season of the “Property of the Republic” program. Zhanna's treatment requires large expenses, and Shepelev needs to earn a living. To be closer to his son Plato, Dmitry temporarily settled with his parents Friske ().

“I learned about my daughter’s illness two months after the birth of my grandson,” Zhanna’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, told Express Gazeta. “My daughter began to have terrible headaches. I was one of the last to know about everything. Zhanna didn’t want to upset me, she said: “Daddy, I’m fine.” I understood everything only when I arrived in the States. Zhanna is a very strong person - I have never seen her cry in my life. Even when she was little, I would scold her, but she would grit her teeth and remain silent.

- Why wasn’t Zhanna’s personal gynecologist Semyon Tsinker in the know?

The daughter did not have time to tell him. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital, she was in a coma. - Vladimir Borisovich, is it still possible to have the operation, what do the doctors say?- We went through all Moscow specialized hospitals: from the Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute to the Blokhin Cancer Center. No one can guarantee that the daughter will not die in the event of surgery. Zhanna refused the operation, and this is her decision...()

Protecting the feelings of her parents, the singer did not tell them the main thing: she learned about the tumor during pregnancy, when the tumor could be removed. Why did Zhanna wait until the situation where the tumor could not be operated on? Because of the unborn child,” the artist’s close friend Tatyana barely holds back tears. - Doctors suggested a course of chemotherapy, but how could Zhannochka risk the health of her son, whom she had dreamed of for so many years?!

You should have seen her pregnant - it seemed that there was no happier person in the world. She talked about leaving the stage and planned to give birth to a second or third baby. But she didn’t even manage to nurse her son - after giving birth, she gave him to his parents. In January, Zhanna came to Moscow - despite the fact that she could no longer get up, she herself wanted to take the baby to her parents. It’s a pity that the son didn’t recognize his mother - Zhannochka has changed a lot. This winter the guys wanted to baptize Platosha, but, as far as I know, it didn’t work out.

The name of Zhanna Friske became widely recognizable when she left the Blestyashchie team and began a solo career. But, unfortunately, her star went out too early. Zhanna was diagnosed with an incurable disease, which ended her life at the very dawn of her youth. The singer was a sex symbol, the dream of millions of men, always irresistible and beautiful. Women tried to follow her example and be like her. The last photos of Zhanna Friske, taken before her death, amazed everyone. It was impossible to believe that the disease had changed her beyond recognition.

Zhanna left at the peak of her career. In a fairly short period of time, she managed to achieve not only as a singer, but also as an actress. Despite her outward tenderness and fragility, the young beautiful woman was incredibly strong and resilient. She never gave in to difficulties; it seemed to temper her, but in no way made her embittered.

Relatives and friends could not believe that Zhanna was seriously ill. They believed until the very end that she would be able to overcome the disease and return to her old life and on stage. But, unfortunately, the miracle did not happen and everyone’s beloved Zhanna passed away.

Zhanna Friske's fight for life

Already at a fairly adult age, Zhanna learned from her parents that she had a twin brother who died in the seventh month from asphyxia. This happened at birth. A few months later, Zhanna was born; she was born weak and weighed only 1380 grams.

The girl was a fighter by nature and achieved everything herself. She took on any job. But, being a creative person, she took part in various castings, so in fact, she ended up in the “Brilliant” group. Over time, as often happens, she grew out of this project and went “free swimming”, building a solo career. The name of Zhanna Friske soon became known to everyone.

Her personal life was constantly discussed in the press, but she preferred not to talk about it until she met. It was with him that they were going to get married in Miami, but it didn’t come to the wedding ceremony. Zhanna Friske, who never left the TV screens, suddenly disappeared.


 Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev
