Paola Marella had pancreatic cancer: her husband’s message on social media

(ANSA) – In December 2021, Paola Marella was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, more precisely a ductal adenocarcinoma with metastases. The husband of the architect and television presenter who died at 61 wrote it in a story on his Instagram profile “to clarify” the causes of her death and above all “because, first of all, she would never have wanted women affected by breast cancer to see this sad event as a reason for despair or fear”.
After the diagnosis, Nico said, came a cycle of 38 chemotherapies in 24 months, surgery, more radiation therapy and eight cycles of targeted therapy in the United States.
“Twelve days ago, unfortunately, the announcement of the inevitable. Determined, never complaining, and always smiling with friends, colleagues and relatives, Paola never wanted to stop. Her career path – she recalled – as well as her social story published until a few days ago, are the fruit of her determination, her desire to live and to transmit all the positivity that has always characterized her”. “A spur for all those she met and who faced the same ordeal. This – she concluded – was the dazzling light that Paola emanated”. (ANSA).
