I'm happy to see him smiling even if he is completely unrecognizable. He also can barely talk. Roger Ebert- the best movie reviewer and most known has been fighting after cancer surgery here is some news :
Ebert plans to be at his film festival
April 25, 2007
Roger Ebert plans to attend his annual festival for overlooked movies this week, returning to public view for the first time since having cancer surgery. The 64-year-old film critic had surgery June 16 to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland and emergency surgery July 1 after a blood vessel burst near the site of the operation. In yesterday's Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert wrote that the cancer of the salivary gland had spread to his right lower jaw. A segment of the mandible was removed, and two operations to replace that segment were both unsuccessful. A tracheostomy, which opens an airway through an incision in the windpipe, was done, meaning Ebert cannot speak. "The doctors now plan an approach that does not involve the risk of unplanned bleeding," he wrote. "If all goes well, my speech will be restored." (AP)
