Fred Roldán was admitted to intensive care on March 11 for suffering from aggressive neck cancer, so Lupita Sandoval, the actor's wife, asked for support in obtaining blood donors, a request to which his colleagues in the art field joined.
The actor's health update is that he is very serious and in a very critical situation, but he has not presented other complications during his hospitalization. On the day his condition became known, his wife explained that he had respiratory assistance and was sedated.
“He's in a very critical stage, if he's serious, he's in intensive care, he's been there all week. It is the second relapse that she has because she has very aggressive cancer in her neck, it has become very bad,” said Lupita Sandoval, the actress who has been married to Fred for more than 30 years on her social networks.
On March 16, Lupita Sandoval shared with the Ventaneando program that cancer began in the tongue and was eradicated with chemotherapy in 2021, however her husband's neck began to swell and the diagnosis was another cancer.
The actor and playwright is hospitalized in Médica Sur, a hospital located in the Tlalpan mayor's office in Mexico City; it is now known that the costs of his treatment amounted to more than 100,000 pesos, so Lupita Sandoval had to win the penalty and seek financial assistance from other actors and the general public.
Although the Mexican comedian and writer had mentioned that they did not need external help for the medical emergency, she explained in Venga la Alegría that the need was very strong and the bills high, so she decided to open a bank account to receive donations. :
“In the past few days, they asked me and said that we didn't need money, that the problem was opening his account to be able to use it but not even opening his account, so that's why I dared, I swear I was reluctant, but I think that shame has to be put aside when the need is strong,” the actress said in Come the Joy.
Through her Instagram account, Lupita Sandoval released the account number, bank and other information for people who wish to donate. “It's time to return to him and his family their overflowing love and generosity on stage. At this point along the way, TODO SUMA”, can be read in an image.
The account is in the name of Federico Samuel Roldán Dow and it belongs to Inbursa bank. Its number is 50036435015 and the CLABE is 036180500364350152.
Lupita Sandoval explained that sometimes, people believe that artists always have the financial means to attend to themselves without worries, but that in this case it is not the case, because the savings they had as a result of their career were overwhelmed:
“It's about 100 thousand pesos, for us it's too much. There are times when you say or think 'oh, they are artists and they have a lot of money', there will be those who have it, we are working people who do have to eat well and live well, but until there. We are very forward-thinking, he has been very forward-thinking,” he added.
In his biographical book, Fred Roldán named himself El señor teatro, because in his career he has given life to more than 50 characters, one of the best known being Pinocchio.
The actor has repeatedly demonstrated his passion for the performing arts, as he started working at the age of six playing a clown. In addition, he is director of the Roldán Sandoval Cultural Center.
“I have never said this. My dad didn't want me to be an artist, my father was the manager of a cinema and theater operator, thanks to this, he could watch the movies he wanted, “there I made my debut, I grew up feeling everything. Obviously, Mom sang beautifully and was a frustrated actress, because she had six children and she did everything to avoid it, but I think he was to blame for my decision.”, explained El señor teatro when he turned 56, that is, half a century of artistic career.
