Ana Rosa Quintana has left the audience speechless during the morning of this Tuesday. The presenter opened ‘El Programa de Ana Rosa’ with an unexpected speech in which she revealed that she is temporarily withdrawing from the morning format because they have detected a carcinoma in one breast.
Despite being localized and without metastasis, she has communicated in the first person that she has to undergo complicated treatment, which will take her away from the small screen for a while.
Today will be a date that the protagonist will not forget. Neither the one of October 18, 2018. Just three years ago Ana Rosa Quintana revealed in full direct and on the occasion of ‘Breast Cancer Day, which she had suffered from breast cancer in 2010 after detecting a small tumor on her left breast.
A piece of news that she kept secret over time so as not to create a public alarm: “It was in July 2010, just when I was starting my vacation.”
“I didn’t need chemotherapy, but I did need radiation therapy. I did not take a day off “, she said at the time.
A tumor located in a “complicated place” that was detected when the presenter went to a clinic for a routine mammogram:
“I did not count it, because my children were six years old and my mother was still living, and I did not want to worry them. I promised myself that I would not reveal it until she missed me. Now I want to say it, but I know there are other, tougher cancers. The prognosis was the best possible and I decided that it did not exist in my life. But I encourage all women to have checkups, do not be afraid, that every day there is a better prognosis for cancer.”
Encouraging all women to follow in her footsteps, Ana Rosa Quintana, always with a positive attitude, revealed her commitment to the disease without imagining that now, three years later, the damned cancer would knock on her door again:
“Eight years have passed, I get my checkups every six months or a year. I’m already discharged, but I keep doing them because I want to. Let’s get on with our life, which is having fun, living, but we must remember that anyone can get cancer.”
