Samantha De Grenet talks about her fight against cancer: “I locked myself in the bathroom crying”

Over two years ago Samantha De Grenet he had chosen the living room of very true to reveal who he was battling breast cancer. Now the fifty-two-year-old showgirl, always from her friend Silvia Toffanin, wanted to tell hers about her battle against disease. Included the psychological side of that battle: «When we talk about cancer, we talk about what physically happens. But little is said about the whole psychological part, which is sometimes even difficult to explain. The body changes, the way you face life changes, you no longer look in the mirror, because you don’t like what you see, you don’t recognize yourself and you don’t want to accept yourself».

She, in those moments, to hide her pain from those close to her she locked herself in the bathroom and cried: «The people next to you suffer your mood swings, your sadness, even if you try in every way to hide them, but it’s not like you can do it all day. Like this you lock yourself in the bathroom to cry, then you go out and carry onbecause you realize that you are extremely lucky to have people close to you who love you and help you overcome the disease».

Among those people are of course i parents by Samantha. To which the showgirl two years ago he hadn’t told the whole truth: «For a parent to have a daughter who tells you “I’m sick, I have to have an operation”, is not a good thing. I wanted them to know what was going on, because I didn’t want them to feel left out by telling them later. But I told him very lightly, as if it were nonsense. In reality, it wasn’t a walk in the park and in any case it wasn’t a good time for them either”. The former model has always had her husband Luca Barbato and the seventeen-year-old son Brandowith her in the living room of very true, for the first time in front of the cameras. Also thanks to their love she was able to move forward.

Samantha still today cannot consider herself out of danger: «I still have my journey to do. Five years have to go by and I have two to go of therapy. She will come out slowly ». There is still a long way to go but from a psychological point of view the situation has improved a lot: «I learned to accept myself and I accepted that I have a different body than I had before. That’s okay, I hide the flaw and highlight the part that’s better, I’ve really made peace with myself. I look at myself and I’m happy with what I see, because i’m a good personI am a real person and for me this is fundamental».
