Overview
- Gottschalk told Bild that a whole-body PET scan on Thursday found no signs of remaining cancer in his body.
- His wife Karina called the result a “kleines Wunder” and said she acted as his health manager during months of treatment and care.
- The finding follows a year that began with a diagnosis of epitheloid angiosarcoma and included two operations, about 33 radiation sessions and three weeks of rehabilitation.
- Doctors use PET scans to detect metabolic activity that can indicate tumors, and the clear result supports the earlier report in July that he was, at the moment, cancer-free.
- Gottschalk has stepped back from TV since the diagnosis, says he is not yet fully fit but improves week by week, and he will remain under medical monitoring as he recovers.
