In his youth, he wanted to be a sports journalist. His adoptive aunt, the poet Joanna Kulmowa, who noticed his acting talent, dissuaded him from his plans. Wysocki decided to try and apply to the PWST. Although he failed the first exam, a year later he managed to get into university and got first place. He made his debut on stage at the age of 22. Today, viewers know him from such productions as “Klan”, “Miodowe lata”, “Ranczo”, “M jak miłość” and “Na Wspólnej”.
Wojciech Wysocki struggled with testicular cancer twice. Today he talks honestly about the disease
Wojciech Wysocki was only 35 years old when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. , as he himself admitted, he refused to talk about it for a long time, although when promoting preventive tests or conducting interviews, he openly talks about what he experienced. – I don’t like to show off the fact that I suffered from cancer, because I have been healthy for 23 years. But if someone asks, I answer. Although I also had to mature to this – he said in 2022 in an interview. He thought it was a sign of pride to talk about your recovery. Eventually it dawned on him that it was helping others. – I decided that it was worth speaking publicly on this matter. Today I treat it as a kind of mission – he added.
He found out about it by accident when he went to the clinic, what he thought was a minor thing. Enlarged lymph nodes aroused the doctor’s suspicions. It turned out to be right, because the cause was testicular cancer. Wysocki faced the disease twice. 11 years after the first diagnosis, the cancer returned. He received the diagnosis the day after the actor’s daughter was born. – I remember that phone call and my own horror. Because there is always terror at the beginning. And then I decided to fight – he said
Wojciech Wysocki: did the disease almost destroy his career? “Nobody wanted to hire an actor undergoing treatment”
He had to undergo chemotherapy again and his lymph node was removed. When he was first diagnosed with cancer, he did not interrupt his professional career, and no one caused him any problems. The second time there were problems. – Nobody wanted to take the risk and hire an actor who was undergoing treatment. It could have gotten worse and I wouldn’t have made it to the set. So it was better to thank me in advance – he revealed in Plejada. – The most important thing is money. You can’t be sick, weak or disabled, he added.
Fortunately, everything ended well, although he will have to undergo regular tests and take medications for the rest of his life. – You need to do such tests for the rest of your life, just like brushing your teeth every day. Some of my colleagues, which really annoys me, are surprised that I have to take medications for the rest of my life. Yet there are several things you do for the rest of your life. We eat and sleep, so we can also take medications. You have to come to terms with it – in “Your Empire”.
