The interview
Costantino Vitagliano talks about his illness: “I thought I would die”
Costantino Vitagliano speaks for the first time to Verissimo about his health problems: “I said to myself: ‘I’m about to die and they don’t want to tell me’. I thought I had a tumor, then the diagnosis came”
Costantino Vitagliano speaks for the first time to Verissimo about his illness: “I had broken a tendon, playing with my daughter on the sofa. One evening I went for a check-up and the doctor had me do an ultrasound: a spot on the abdominal aorta”.
From there, a long hospital stay began for Costantino Vitagliano, 49 years old: “I was hospitalized in the oncology surgery department. I did 29 days of tests without getting an answer because they couldn’t understand what I had.”
Costantino Vitagliano admits that he thought the worst: “I thought I was dying. I said to myself: ‘I’m about to die and they don’t want to tell me’. Given the ward, I was sure I had a tumor.”
After a month the diagnosis arrived: “I have an autoimmune disease that leads me to have this mass that endangers my abdominal aorta. So there’s no telling what could happen to me at any moment.”
To date, there is no cure for Costantino Vitagliano’s illness: “I am constantly on medication, we are trying things out.”
