Egyptian artist Yasser El-Tobgy revealed the details of the difficult health ordeal he experienced over the past months.

The Egyptian comedian appeared on the podcast "Shagget El-Taawon", broadcast on YouTube, alongside his colleague artist Hossam Dagher, to talk about his artistic career.

But El-Tobgy was surprised by a question from his colleague about the details of his health ordeal and what he had been through in recent months. He hesitated to talk about it, indicating that he had not intended to discuss what happened.

However, his colleague Hossam Dagher's desire to reassure his fans prompted El-Tobgy to speak. He mentioned that he had been receiving treatment for a disease called diverticulosis, and after completing the treatment phase, the doctor told him he had overcome the crisis. Despite this, El-Tobgy still felt that he was still sick, but he decided to be satisfied with what his treating physician told him.

On one occasion, El-Tobgy met a surgeon he had not seen in 10 years, as he went to him with his wife so that she could undergo tests. When the doctor saw him, he was astonished by his significant weight loss and asked him about the reasons, whether it was due to a new role he was playing or not, and asked him to have a colonoscopy, insisting that he undergo the procedure.

When El-Tobgy postponed the procedure, the doctor contacted him and asked him to have the colonoscopy and send the results to him. After the colonoscopy, the Egyptian artist tried to contact the lab to find out the result, but he did not get a clear answer about the result of the procedure.

He later learned that his wife and brother had known the result of the tissue analysis and hid it from him. Due to his insistence on contacting the lab, the responsible person told him that the result had already been sent to his family. Then they told him that he had a cancerous tumor, which caused him a great shock.

El-Tobgy could not contain himself during the interview, and tears streamed down his face as he spoke about this health setback, revealing that throughout this ordeal he was thinking about his children and family.

The Actors' Syndicate supported Yasser El-Tobgy during this ordeal, and the head of the syndicate, Ashraf Zaki, recommended an oncologist to perform surgery that lasted about 7 hours.
