Announcer Elizabeth “La Negra” Vernaci said that they had to remove a malignant tumor and, after the intervention, she is undergoing a chemotherapy process. In response to questions from his listeners, he explained: “I had checkups, unfortunately they went wrong, I had to have surgery for a tumor that was malignant and, now, I have to start chemo.”
“It’s a shame, I want to kill myself, I’m not going to kill myself, I’m not going to die,” Vernaci explained, faithful to his style, and added: “But, obviously I’m going through a complex situation, which means that perhaps I’m going to be a a little more irascible. I’m sorry! It’s going to happen, I’m very sorry.”
“Thank God it has already left my body, it is no longer there, it did not go to any lymph nodes and it did not reach anywhere. However, as a matter of prevention and to ensure that it does not happen to me again, they are going to do chemo,” the host explained, and spoke about her emotions: “What is happening to me with chemo?” He asked himself and continued, “It scares me, obviously. Nobody likes to go through chemo because you know everything that is going to happen. Different things happen to everyone, I don’t know what is going to happen to me. I have no idea! “It is the first time that I have no idea what is going to happen to me.”
“I don’t know what I’m going to find in myself, or what part of me I’m going to connect with. I’m probably going to make myself much more vulnerable, which is something I don’t allow myself to do much of and it’s not one of the things I do, I won’t come to work several times,” he explained, although he explained that the doctors advised him to continue with his routine. Faced with the advice of professionals, the announcer reflected: “I don’t know if I’m going to feel good, if I’m going to be vomiting, if losing my hair is going to make me not want to be seen. I want to convey that, with chemo, what one knows is that with the horrible side effects, which weaken you, lower your defenses and make your hair fall out; They are what prevent these cells from becoming cancerous again,” he added.
“There are two months in which we are going to have to dance and when we have to dance I never take my body out. “I dance,” he concluded.
