Sofia Vergara got cancer when she was 28 years old

This summer, “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson (45) told that he had received detected skin cancer – for the second time.

First time he was treated for the disease was in 2015, and six years later the cancer returned.

On Instagram, Ferguson, who has the role of Mitchell Pritchett in the popular TV series, took the opportunity to reassure fans – in addition to encouraging them to check themselves regularly.

«A reminder to keep up with visits to the dermatologist … Especially if you are as light in complexion as me. It always ends up that they take something from me when I visit. Today they took a piece of skin cancer that they found. Do not be worried, it was discovered early and will go very well “, he wrote in the post, before he came up with another call:

«Use sunscreen. Sun factor 1000 for me ».

Tried to stay calm

Now Jesse reveals Tyler Fergusons “Modern Family” colleague, Sofia Vergara (49), that she too has had cancer. It reports People Monday.

It was when the organization “Stand Up To Cancer” held a charity event this weekend that the Hollywood star eased the veil on the cancer diagnosis she received already in her late 20s.

– When I was on a routine visit to the doctor as a 28-year-old, the doctor found a lump on my throat. They took a series of tests and finally they told me I had thyroid cancer, shared the actor, according to the website and continued:

– When you are young and hear the word “cancer” your mind spins, but I tried not to panic, and decided to learn more about this.

Vergara went on to say that she read every single book she came across on the subject.

– I was lucky to discover it early, and had good support from the doctors, and most importantly, from my family. I learned a lot during that period, not only about thyroid cancer, but also that when the crisis occurs, we stand stronger together, she pointed out, writes People.

The 49-year-old, who is married to “Magic Mike” handsome Joe Manganiello (44), also shared a photo from the “Stand Up To Cancer” event with his nearly 23 million Instagram followers.

“So happy to be a part of this !!” she wrote, urging fans to donate money to the charity.

In 2011, Vergara opened up about why she had kept the cancer a secret for a long time.

– It’s not fun to have cancer. You do not want to think about anything else when you go through it, she explained to the magazine Health.
