The actor Sergio Peris-Mencheta has announced on his social networks that he is undergoing chemotherapy treatment and waiting for a bone marrow transplant. After an emotional text on Instagram in which he celebrated the good luck he has had in his life, Peris-Mencheta acknowledged that this time “the dice have not come out in his favor” and that he suffers from cancer.

“I am in a place that only those who have been there know. I feel vulnerable and terrified and small like never before, and For the last few months I have been taking stock of every step I take on this earth.“explained the artist, also known for being a professional rugby player and capital of the youth team of this sport.

Thus, he has assured that he is aware that it is not in his power to cure himself of the disease: “I know that life takes the reins and there is a part in which all I can do is trust and let myself go. But I have pockets full of dice that I rub over and over again. “I’ve always been a six-year-old kind of guy and I’m not going to stop now,” she added.

The artist gave an emotional speech in which he celebrated that he has always “obtained the good things in life.” “I’ve always felt guilty about it.it is a really annoying feeling of undeserving, which has accompanied me since my first call-up with the Spanish Rugby Team, back in 1991, and which has never left me,” he confessed.

However, he recalled that he has worked on television “all over the world”, most of the time to play characters “mainstream, heroic and larger than life.” “I have worked in films in different languages, in front of people who until then, for me, only existed on a BETAMAX tape that I rented at “Acuario”, the video store in my neighborhood.

I have won and organized competitions and worked with the brightest theatrical minds, playing fascinating characters. I have directed, created, told stories that I needed to tell on board my ‘Pirate Ship’“, he said.

“I have played a lot, and although I have lost, I win more in general, with the right luck always on my side, along with that feeling of guilt“, he added before confessing that he was suffering from an illness.
