Overview
- Dahlmann first disclosed a liver tumour in mid-June and surgeons completed a two-stage treatment at the University Medical Center Mainz that removed the cancerous right liver lobe.
- Surgeons split the liver to stimulate regrowth and the remaining left lobe expanded about 263 percent in ten days, enabling the second operation to remove the tumour.
- He remains hospitalized in his third week of care and reports feeling “very, very weak” after two major operations, during which doctors also drained roughly 1.5 liters of fluid from his lung.
- Follow-up exams revealed narrowed coronary arteries, so physicians have scheduled a heart catheterization and may place stents to restore blood flow and lower the risk of heart attack.
- This is Dahlmann’s fourth cancer diagnosis, which he and family link to an inherited repair‑gene defect; he has paused broadcast work and is keeping followers updated from the clinic.
