Bored and depressed – “For the series: an update that nobody asked me. I’m bored and even a little depressed, but that’s normal because seven days have passed since my surgery and I’m a very active and independent person,” begins Bianca Balti , who is hitting social media with a flashy hat on her head to hide her not-exactly-styled hair (as she herself states). “The idea that my time of being dependent on others isn’t even over, or that that time hasn’t even ended, makes me a little sad. I’m more tired than usual and I find it really difficult to rest,” she says.
Longing for normality – “From a medical point of view, the pain is practically non-existent or at least very manageable. I still have the drains, I’m going to see the doctor tomorrow and we hope that she will take them off,” says Bianca Balti. “I’m going to ask her a lot of questions like: When can I start driving? When can I start lifting weights? When can I start exercising? I’m bored of moving my body too much”. She can’t wait to get back to normal and put this bad time behind her.
The diagnosis of the genetic mutation BRCA1 – Bianca Balti, 38, had been diagnosed with the genetic mutation (BRCA) and decided to intervene. “I am hospitalized for preventive removal of breast tissue. And now that I can no longer hold back, I turn to you out of selfishness. To hear how brave I am, that I’m doing the right thing, that I’m an inspiration for it because I’ve lost the feeling that brought me here, I’ve lost myself in self-pity,” she told her followers before the surgery.
Removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes – Also to prevent the risk of cancer, Bianca Balti had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in the fall. “The idea of going through menopause at 38 isn’t attractive,” she confided before the surgery, but said she was determined in her choice so she wouldn’t regret it in the future. She also resorted to freezing her eggs in order not to rule out the possibility of becoming a mother again after Matilde (15) and Mia (7). “My hope is to be able to freeze 5 eggs which, along with the other 5 I froze last year, would give me a good chance of a successful pregnancy in the future,” she said.
