<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Artist Edward sparked widespread sympathy after speaking for the first time about his difficult health condition in a recent interview on the "Sahibet Al-Saada" program with actress Esaad Younes. He spoke about the most difficult phase of his life that he has recently been going through.</p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);"><strong>The sudden change due to the series "Sh Sh"</strong></span></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Edward revealed that his health struggles began when director Mohamed Sami offered him a new role in the series "Esh Esh" during last Ramadan. To appear different, Edward decided to follow a weight-loss program, starting with weight-loss injections under medical supervision. Over time, he decided to take another type of injection without medical supervision, which caused unexpected health complications. </p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:768/439;" src="https://media.gemini.media/img//original/2025/7/7/2025_7_7_0_23_23_163.webp" alt="" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="background-color:unset;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">You can follow the news and</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-ads"><span lang="ar">announcements of celebrities</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">and all their</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/exclusive-content"><span lang="ar">exclusive content</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">that you can only find through the Special application, which is</span></span><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar"><span lang="ar">a social networking application</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">with special and unique features, as it includes a podcast that provides many unique features, as you can launch</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/podcast-and-voice-recording"><span lang="ar">a podcast</span></a> <span style="background-color:unset;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">with your friends or listen to others, and it also provides information about</span></span> the <span style="background-color:unset;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;"><span lang="ar">various</span></span> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbsial.com/ar/features/celebrity-collectibles"><span lang="ar">possessions of celebrities</span></a> .</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);"><strong>Serious health complications: temporary stomach paralysis and cancer detection</strong></span></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The incorrect use of the injection caused temporary stomach paralysis. During medical examinations, doctors accidentally discovered a cyst on his kidney. After further testing, it was determined he had stage 1 kidney cancer, and the doctor ordered a kidney removal operation.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Edward spoke of the shock he experienced when he learned he had cancer, having felt completely healthy before these discoveries. He added that his psychological state deteriorated, leading him to suffer a heart attack, after which he was rushed to the hospital where he underwent a catheterization procedure to insert stents in his heart. This was the most difficult stage of his life, as he was on the verge of death from the stroke.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Despite the health challenges he faced, Edward expressed the wisdom he gained from the experience. Discovering his heart problems before the kidney removal surgery saved his life, as he could have suffered complications during the operation due to his undetected heart problems. </p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:346/346;" src="https://vid.alarabiya.net/images/2024/12/15/6c33f712-89ad-4da4-896c-28dcb05052e8/6c33f712-89ad-4da4-896c-28dcb05052e8.jpg?crop=1:1&width=1000" alt="" ></figure><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);"><strong>Edward prefers not to reveal his health condition to the public.</strong></span></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> During this difficult period, Edward was careful not to discuss his health condition for fear of causing concern to his fans or changing their perception of him. He added that he avoided answering the public's questions about his health, preferring to remain silent.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Edward expressed his deep gratitude for the support of his fellow actors, who stood by him throughout his health ordeal. Most notable among these was Mustafa Qamar, who stayed by his side throughout his hospitalization; actress Mai Omar, who sent him to the United States for medical advice; and director Mohamed Sami, who offered to travel on a private plane for treatment. He also mentioned several of his colleagues, such as Ahmed El-Sakka, Basem Samra, and Ahmed El-Saadany, who also supported him during this critical period. </p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:750/450;" src="https://www.mobtada.com/resize?src=uploads/images/2025/07/17517457463.jpeg&w=750&h=450&zc=0&q=70" alt="" ></figure>
