One year after your cancer diagnosis
Antonio Ibez ad through Instagram that suffers a cancer in july 2021, how I told in a long publication. Another stage in my life. A month ago, a liquid runs through my body to heal me. That uncertainty that you become friends with also grew; very different from the one that I, as an actor and painter, used to say was almost always with me.fear at first. Today I don’t have him anymore, maybe there will be some day I know, I don’t know… Whatever he feels, I’ll let him be and hug him. Days go by and everything is more calm, at peace… controlled, I know what this is about and what I’m facing. lymphoma.I got some nerves that ran through my body (they seemed endless) like when lightning or thunder crosses the sky. I almost peed on myself. Chemo. The images of the love of my life, my mom, my father, my sister, my friends s, from the shootings, painting in the studio, the classmates, cstings… They went through my head as if it were a trailer. I couldn’t hit “Skip Ad”. That kind of “selfishness” of why am I appeared; I guess normal in this process. The hair: See you later! I’ve always wanted to shave my head and I haven’t done it because… -And if they call me for a project and I don’t give the profile? Bah. Well, that’s what it is, hehe, she was honest.
I had been learning to live in the now for a long time, sometimes it is difficult, yes, but try it! All this reaffirms me that in life things are as they are, they happen because they have to happen. Experiences prepare you for many things; for this one, for example, not so much. But I am stronger than ever to face this and everything that comes I feel very good! With courage, with an energy that has taken over my body, mind and soul even more. I didn’t need to value everything I have, feel, want and enjoy in life. I’m still learning. Don’t take anything so seriously. Don’t leave him, I’ll call you tomorrow. Not that coffee. Not even the date you had weeks ago. If you feel like saying I love you, do it. Who cares! Go crazy for and with your dreams, take them to the extreme! Fight for them! We already know that the “no” is already there, so go ahead and take the dance away from us. Enjoy as if there were no tomorrow! P.S. Include a + dose of LOVE in everything you do Try it! You will tell me, he says goodbye.
His death has caused great commotion among several of the celebrities with whom he had worked. One of those who publicly expressed it has been nacho warriorsactor who gives life to Coque in the one that is coming. What a rage… It seems that the bad guys never leave and you leave very soon. The last time I saw you, you were very well. I keep that memory. How unfair! He posted on social media.
also the presenter Jaime Cantizano was devastated by Ibez’s untimely death. A few years ago I suggested that he paint me the water of Bolonia Beach in the fall and he got down to it. I was born nearby and I remembered a lot about that sea. We talk many times about how to reflect it, we laugh at the way we had to transport the huge canvas to the studio or then take it home, we also laugh at the adventure of on-site retouching… His painting is in the main entrance of my house , he explained. In these months he asked him and his answer was always serene. That was Antony. He also kept that light that characterized him. It is a very sad moment for those of us who knew him well, but as @antonibanez used to say: Look for me in them. RIP, finished.
