The thyroid cancer sparked the most emotional story Sofia Vergara, 50, has to share on this day. The actress shared an hour ago, on her Instagram account, a unique image that captures the scar that this disease left on his neck 22 years ago.
“At 28 years old, Cancer It wasn’t a word I expected to hear. It was just a routine checkup. But the doctors found a lump in my throat and that word became part of my story. I spent countless hours in radiation treatments and eventually surgery. Today, I can call myself a cancer survivor.”, indicates the Colombian artist in that post.
“This was my first acting class after diagnosis and treatment, and seeing the scar on my throat reminds me how blessed I felt that day, and every day since. I am lucky and grateful to be able to share my story and say ‘early prevention is so important!’ Schedule your annual checkup for this year if you haven’t already done so.”.
This confession was also made a year ago during Stand Up To Cancer, a television marathon of the program saturday night, which aimed fundraising for the fight against cancer and for research into this same disease. There he commented: “I was lucky to have caught it early and to have the support of my doctors and, most importantly, my family… I learned a lot during that time, not just about thyroid cancer. I also learned that, in times of crisis, we are better together.”
Sofia discovered that he had cancer when he accompanied his son Manolo González to an endocrine consultation. She had had no previous symptoms or discomforts before, published the portal popular voice.
Sofía makes this revelation today in full World Cancer Day, which the World Health Organization commemorates every February 4 to raise awareness about this disease. (I)
