Goedele Liekens has skin cancer: ‘The bad days are getting more frequent’ | Entertainment

entertainment">“You know, it is not in my nature to disguise things. And I want to tell you myself. I have skin cancer ”, begins Gudula her post on the social platform. “It started a few months ago with one of those weird stains that dermatologists have been warning about for years. That stain was removed immediately. When that turned out not to be enough, an operation was carried out to cut the thing out quite deep. ”

entertainment">The operation turned out to be carried out too late, because the cancer cells had now spread to her glands. “From there the road to further metastases is of course open. ‘Once a melanoma is inside, it makes strange jumps,’ said the oncologist. ”

entertainment">Although the Goedele treatment process is difficult, fortunately the cancer is treatable. “There are good days when I live happily and energetically as if nothing is wrong. Then I force myself to enjoy while I can. There are bad days when the side effects of that treatment leave me exhausted, nauseous and sick. Unfortunately, the bad days are becoming more frequent and I am forced to put my activities on the back burner for some time: both in the federal parliament and in the media. ”

entertainment">Gudula is not going to throw in the towel. “Giving up is not my best quality, you know that. So hey cancer, you picked the wrong bitch! ”

entertainment">She closes the message with the advice to have skin blemishes tested.
