Novel, political science degree, happens to be a journalist. I have written for newspapers, weeklies, websites and agencies, mostly news and entertainment.
Eleonora Giorgi arrives at the studios of very correctsmiling and head held high, ready to tell a story Silvia Toffaninfrom the diagnosis, or rather, as she bluntly defines it, from the sentence hanging over her head, but also from how lucky she was still able to feel about the reactions of affection and support that her revelation evoked.
In fact, a few days ago, the actress said she was impressed a pancreatic tumorand the news deeply shocked the public and of course his immediate family two sons, Andrea Rizzoli and Paolo Ciavarro.
Eleonora Giorgi talked about the conflicting feelings of this very special moment in her life in the Sunday, December 3rd episode of Verissimo.
“I said it publicly in an interview a few days ago and was very happy afterwards. I shared this ‘sentence’ because it is a sentence, but I also realized how lucky I am. There are many people who, when they receive this… Same message, then I go home alone, but I was flooded by an avalanche of love. I’m also here to say thank you.”
The actress then says that she did it discovered his illness completely by accidentduring a routine examination. “I went for a breast ultrasound and at one point I started coughing. The sonographer asked me, ‘What’s that cough?’ You need to get a CT scan immediately.” I’m a bit crazy about these things, I check myself often. I had a CT scan and there were nodules, an interstitial shadow, I thought the problem was in the lungs, etc. Instead the doctor told me “pancreas”.
A very aggressive pathology, news that would shock anyone. In a few days Eleonora Giorgi will begin her therapeutic journey: “I don’t have any metastases, so an operation is possible. Chemotherapy has to be done first, then comes surgery, then recovery. I believe in science and trust it.” “Since they made this diagnosis, I have felt like a character in a movie, as if I were playing a patient, one shot at a time,” admits Eleonora Giorgi. “I have a wink that you have no idea about, but I want to be a consolation: I want to continue playing the role of the sick person. I hope to use my experience to bring companionship and comfort to the public, to the sick.” “
However, the actress does not hide her understandable fears: “Today I’m afraid because I have a perfect body, because in life I had to learn to do without a lot of things, but I didn’t want to learn to do without them.” My physicality, mine 70 year old beauty. This makes a big impression on me, but I will fight. Then there are positives because I have a sense of humor: He will put the blonde Marylin wig on me. I know I’ll be exhausted, I know I’ll be sick, I’ll stay at home, I’ll look for my grandson without scaring him,” adding: “I have full confidence, but I’m worried about the operation .”
Her two sons Andrea and Paolo joined her in Verissimo’s studio: “They call me in the morning. I am a fatalist, but when I saw her, I became aware of her pain, her fear.” The confirmation of fear, but also of the desire to support the mother’s difficult struggle in some way, can be found in the words of Paolo Ciavarro : “They were tough moments. I cried a lot, but now we are ready to fight.”
