It was a lesson about the process that a person with cancer goes through. Julia Otero recounted her experience in El Hormiguero: how was the treatment she has undergone in the last year to treat her colon cancer. HHe spoke of “selfish cells”, of the “chemo poison”, of “scissorhand doctors” and the forgiveness he asked his body.
The journalist opened the channel to explain how she received the harsh news. “You spend your whole life ahead of you, yes, but the past life does not pass you by, the future life passes you, that you have dreamed that you still have”, he assured.
In addition, he explained that the first thing he thought of was his family: “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 even open... in so many things. It is melancholy of the future, rather than the past.”
“I want to make it clear that I am not the flag of anything and the standard of nothing, that I am one more patient with cancer, who has spent 11 hard months, like so many others,” said Otero, who wanted to emphasize that “to communicate that one has a disease that 300,000 compatriots have each year is fine.
In addition, he took the opportunity to explain how cancer works in a didactic way: “The selfish cells reproduce at an enormous speed and what chemo is looking for is that speed. Why do we say that cancer is 4 or 5 years? Because some of those cells may have escaped.”
Fully recovered and, once again leading Julia en la Onda, yesterday she got more than six million viewers to stop by ‘El Hormiguero’ to listen his didactic lesson on anatomy and life.
