“I'm recovering from cancer so it wasn't an easy time but now everything is fine, I'm slowly recovering.” Paola Perego returns to television, in the living room of very true on Canale 5, to tell how he learned of his illness and what happened next. In January, the presenter shared a post on social media revealing that she had undergone a “partial nephrectomy for a tumor”, thanking the doctor who operated on her. “I made this post, just with a piece of writing, not because I like to share private moments of my life, but to remind myself how important prevention is,” he explains today on television , “I wanted to do it for this reason: if I hadn't “If I hadn't done the tests, I wouldn't have discovered that I had kidney cancer and it would have gotten bigger”, emphasizing how point she is “privileged” to be able to afford private exams every year. Perhaps, he says today, less than a month after the operation, the worst did not happen when the diagnosis was made, but afterwards.
“They noticed something was wrong during a check-up, they immediately did another test and the diagnosis came straight away: carcinoma. Except that I didn't understand straight away, I realized it after the operation”, he admits in front of Silvia Toffanin's audience, “before, I was joking, maybe like everyone else , I thought it couldn't happen to me. And now I'm coming to terms with the fact that I had cancer, and it's not easy. It's so fresh that I still don't understand much about it. They tell me it's normal. Now I started thinking, “If my body is producing cancer cells, it might continue to do so.” “I am lucky to have doctor friends, I was operated on immediately and by very good professionals, and now I can even talk about it on TV.” He then recounts an episode which well describes his attitude towards the disease: “I underwent a partial nephrectomy, because it was a small cancer. Before going under the knife, I told my children that I had a benign cyst: but what is curious is that they were the ones who told me, I don't remember.”
