“Hello everyone, this isn't a TikTok, it's a 'Sick Tok,'” she said, maintaining the humor that characterizes her. “I'm in the hospital because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday. They caught it very early,” he added.
“It's very strange because I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but you know… it was a surprise,” explained Micucci, who also commented positively. “I also assume that things like this happen. So I’m left with the good news that they caught it early and removed it and I’m fine.”
The actress also reflected on her fate. “It's been a little trip, but I'll probably make slow progress for a few weeks, but then I'll come back with everything,” he said, later admitting that he was particularly looking forward to pursuing one hobby again: painting. “Why do I keep talking? Because I'm high!” she joked, giving the camera a thumbs up.
It also included a video of Micucci walking slowly around the hospital in a gown while being hooked up to an IV. In the comments section, the star responded to a fan who asked her if she had any symptoms that made her decide to get checked.
