Helen Mirren’s stepson and the son of her husband Taylor Hackford, Rio Hackford passed away at the age of 51, and the actress stated that her heart was broken by this big tragedy. She and her husband issued a joint statement for fans and the media, emphasizing that Rio has always been a true example of nobility.
"Many are mourning him now, but many are also celebrating that they were lucky enough to meet him," they said in a statement. Rio suffered from melanoma of the eye, a very aggressive cancer that is deadly if it spreads to other parts of the body. That's why Helen and Taylor emphasize: "We ask everyone who reads this to go for an eye examination at least once a year. Such an examination can save you from this cancer."
Rio was also an actor, and many other Hollywood celebrities are saying goodbye to their favorite colleague. "He was a true titan of goodness, love, class, courage. He was cool. A legend" wrote Renee Zellweger.
Eye cancer is a rare form of cancer and often does not give clear signals, but if you notice this in the eye, go to the doctor immediately. One of the eye cancers, melanoma of the eye, gives almost no symptoms and is difficult to detect until the disease progresses. However, if the symptoms of eye cancer begin to manifest, they are most often seen in the iris of the eye. One of the symptoms is a dark spot in the growing iris.
Melanoma of the eye can exist without any symptoms, and the first problems are loss of peripheral vision, slightly weaker vision in one eye, or a change in shadows and light, especially in the form of wavy lines. Every change and stain on the eye must be examined by a doctor.
