Josh Lenartowicz Diagnosed With Life-Threatening Disease
This year Olympia was planned as an intriguing event with a harsh battle for the crown. Everyone was eager to see the competition between Phil Heath and Shawn Rhoden, the return of Kai Greene, an upgraded physique of Big Ramy. Unfortunately, we won?t see anything of these.
Most of the top Open Weight division representatives are not going to compete this year. Moreover, Josh Lenartowicz is also not in the list of 2019 contestants. What has happened to a promising sportsman with great ambitions?
Josh confessed that the reason for his being out of contest was his health issues. Later Josh explained that he was diagnosed with dangerous form of brain tumor that formed on his skull. Josh also mentioned that his brother used to have the same diagnosis, that?s why he could understand what to do with that.
Doctors planned an operation to remove the tumor. Josh planned to spend some days in a hospital, however, his plans were destroyed with severe complication after surgery. It resulted into a come that lasted almost for a week.
Now Josh is recovering and feeling well. While he plans to come back to training in the nearest future, he decided to postpone his career goals for the next year, so now he has time to recover and be with his family. That?s quite a wise decision as doctors need time to be sure Josh is ok. Moreover, it?s necessary to find out what can provoke the tumor growth and remove these factors in order to avoid backset.
Fans of the bodybuilder hope that the sportsman will be able to compete in the nearest future and will return to the Olympia contest in 2020.
