One of the doctors who follows Preta Gil’s cancer treatmentthe cardiologist Roberto Kalil highlighted to CNN how the optimism demonstrated by the singer is important in the fight against the disease.
“She is an extremely optimistic patient, and that helps with the treatment,” said Kalil.
The cardiologist presents the CNN Vital Signs – Dr. Kalil Interviewwhich airs every Saturday on CNN.
Cancer returns
The singer explained in a video that the disease returned and spread to four different places. This month, it was one year since she underwent successful surgery for colorectal cancer.
Preta explains that she was in remission, but the cancer can relapse (return) within a period of about five years. “Not only in my case, but in the case of 40% of people who have primary cancer. And that’s what happened to me, my cancer came back,” she said.
She explained the places where the disease settled this time: “I have two lymph nodes, I have a metastasis that is in the peritoneum and I have a nodule, a lesion in the ureter.”
The singer was at the hospital for her routine exams when she was surprised with the diagnosis of recurrence.
After the first cycle of treatment, Preta Gil has been at home since Monday (26). She explained that she will have to rest at home for about 12 days before returning to the hospital.
Presenting your home program
The singer hosted her television show on the Multishow channel, TVZ, from home on Monday night.
On her Instagram profile, Gilberto Gil’s daughter showed details of the structure set up in her home in São Paulo to be present at the show. “Live, TVZ, I’m going in, hey guys, from home,” she wrote on social media.
Next, Preta took the opportunity to say that everything went well with the change in the way the program is presented: “We found a way, I’m here at home, in São Paulo, presenting TVZ, and Gominho is there, in the studio.”
“We have a light here, a lot of love in our hearts, a lot of desire to participate in this program. I have a feeling that it will work out this way, don’t you think, Multishow? I feel like I’m in the studio,” he said.
