I remember the doctor saying to me, \u2018Jeff, you\u2019ve got to fight. You\u2019re not fighting.\u2019 But I didn\u2019t get it anymore. I just didn\u2019t know how to do that. I was in surrender mode,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>Small Goals and a Gift of Recovery<\/h3>\n<p>During his recovery, Bridges set <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/want-to-avoid-developing-a-fatty-liver-its-time-to-get-physical\/\" title=\"Want to Avoid Developing a Fatty Liver? It\u2019s Time to Get Physical\">small goals<\/a> for himself, such as standing for a minute or walking five feet. \u201cA lot of getting better was a matter of setting really small goals,\u201d he said. \u201cThen I began to think of my recovery as a gift being presented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his initial fears of returning to work, Bridges eventually made a comeback and finished filming a project. \u201cI come back to work, and, man, it was like a dream, as if we\u2019d just had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-gates-had-agreement-with-wife-he-could-spend-one-weekend-each-year-with-former-girlfriend\/\" title=\"Bill Gates Had Agreement With Wife He Could Spend One Weekend Each Year With Former Girlfriend\">long weekend<\/a> or something. I was seeing all the same faces in the cast and crew. Very bizarre. Everybody showed such dedication and hung in. We finished it. I appreciate that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>Hope for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Bridges\u2019 cancer is now in remission, and he received treatment with \u201cconvalescent plasma\u201d containing COVID viral antibodies. He hopes to continue working and enjoying life. \u201cMaybe I can [work again]. I have to admit that I was still frightened of going back to work,\u201d he said. \u201cBut eventually that became, \u2018Maybe I can.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1684938422021000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2-zHdFAayHoZkU-_PcCeh4\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Jeff Bridges\u2019 cancer tumor has shrunk to the size of a marble.<\/li>\n<li>COVID-19 was a tougher battle for Bridges than cancer.<\/li>\n<li>Setting small goals helped Bridges during his recovery.<\/li>\n<li>Bridges hopes to continue working and enjoying life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Jeff Bridges shared an update on his lymphoma battle, revealing that his cancer has shrunk from a &#8220;9-by-12 inch tumor&#8221; to the size of a marble.
