Julia Otero’s exciting visit to ‘El Hormiguero’ after overcoming cancer: “The future life passes you by”

After return to the radio and almost a year after announcing that he had cancer, Julia Otero visited ‘El Hormiguero’ this Tuesday, where he offered an exciting interview that began with this message: “I want to make it clear that I I am not a flag for anything and a banner for nothing, that I am one more patient of cancer, who has had a hard 11 months, like so many others”.

In this sense, the announcer has emphasized that “today 800 Spaniards have been diagnosed with cancer” and that “every year almost 300,000 Spaniards have cancer“. “I am not different from them,” he insisted.

In addition, Otero has shared how he reacted in the time you received the diagnosis. “Your whole life passes you by, yes, but the past life does not pass you by, future life happens to you, that you have dreamed that you still have”, he recounted, specifying that “it is not the past that comes back”, but “the melancholy of the future for which you may not be present“.

“You start to think about your children, about the grandchildren that you won’t see anyway, about the house you’re building in the country that you won’t open anyway… in so many things. It’s melancholy of the future, more than of the past”, has illustrated.

During her conversation with Pablo Motos, the journalist also said that it was not easy to announce her illness to her listeners, although she pointed out that “communicating that one has a disease that 300,000 compatriots have each year is fine”.

In addition, he has shared some advice for those who have a loved one with cancer, recommending that they do not minimize but do not dramatize the situation either. “The best is always the truth and if you really don’t know what to say, say you don’t know what to say“, The radio announcer has recommended, who has also revealed that COVID-19 passed this Christmas.

“I have passed the COVID with the great luck that I have been asymptomatic”, he recounted, focusing on the importance of the vaccine: “It is not a lot of luck, it is a lot of wisdom and a lot of science, three doses of vaccine, that’s the key“.
