Antonella Elia and breast cancer: “A mutilation that has marked me forever”

He had first mentioned it during a confrontation with Samantha De Grenet in the house of Big Brother Vip, but only now Antonella Elia focuses on the breast cancer that hit her a few years ago, telling about herself in a long post on Instagram, which follows an interview with Panorama. «In 2016 I found out that I have a tumor. An “in situ” carcinoma. “A bomb that can explode at any moment” they told me », wrote Elia on her social account.

«I was operated on with the removal of a 4 cm breast quadrant.

I am quartered, a mutilation that has marked me forever, that has struck me in my femininity “, the showgirl continued, stressing that she has no intention of suing those who attacked her for her statements on the disease, with clear reference to Benedicta Boccoli (one of the few to know the truth, according to Elia). He calls him “The intruder”, cancer, speaks to those who live it: “There is no shame in being sick, early diagnosis can save lives: prevention, mammography, screening are essential, and I who have come out of it are here to testify” , has continued.

It all started with a gaffe in the house GF Vip 5. Elia, during a confrontation, had told De Grenet: “You are a little fat, you are giving in to the weight of age”, without knowing what a tumor had fought years before, which left traces in the body. “I have great respect for your illness, of which I knew nothing”, the columnist was later justified, “Mine was a goliardic joke to dissolve a pathetic quarrel unleashed without my being able to argue the reasons for my fury. Do not exploit the disease ». It’s still: “I would never allow myself to laugh at the pain, I felt it on my skin even though I have never said it before».

It was his secret, as he reiterated in the interview, the only one he wanted to keep to himself. Now that everyone knows everything, who knows, the program could turn towards a season of new correctness, in ways and in words.
