Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can has opened up about his battle with thyroid cancer, which was discovered after joining Juventus from Liverpool in 2018.
I had thyroid cancer and needed urgent surgery. A lot has changed in my life. You can have a lot of money, you can have everything, but health is the most important thing. This is part of life and I suggest everyone to get tested. No matter how healthy a person considers himself, if you learn these things in time, treatment can be effective.
I am very grateful to the Juventus doctors. I received a call two months after my physical visit to the club. I didn’t know what was going on, I didn’t even know what a thyroid gland was, and I never thought I had cancer. It was worth moving to Turin just for that.
