She wore a hope green dress for her interview with Silvia Toffanin. Carolina Marconi today she returned as a winner in Verissimo’s living room, where she wanted to tell about her last year, the fight against cancer, the joys and the darkest moments of this journey that, despite everything, gave her a new consciousness.
Carolina Marconi, her last year between fights and victories
Carolina Marconi was able to narrate her battle with cancer this past year with great sensitivity. His Instagram profile has become a kind of travel diary to put on paper all the emotions related to her battle with cancer, to find the support of others and to give strength to many who, like her, have faced the disease.
Now that the worst is over, Marconi is reclaiming her life as she said, beaming and smiling in Silvia Toffanin’s living room: “Today I’m excited, I’m happy and I’m fine“. A state of mind that cannot be ignored: With a bright eye, Carolina has traced her last year, a “troubled” period as she defined it herself, the period in which she fought tooth and nail for his life. In fact, was he only operated on April 6th a year ago to remove this vicious and aggressive knot that was accidentally discovered when it appeared the preliminary examinations for the assisted fertilization procedure.
The news came like a bolt from the blue, however never thought of giving up: “I don’t even know where I get the strength from, in some situations it just comes. I’m very emotional, but I’m struggling and I keep going,” she said. A few months ago she finished her cycle of chemotherapy: Looking back, she said she was amazed at her journey, at the courage she had to face such a difficult battle: “For Carolina a year ago, I would say no fear to have that everything will be fine. Of course I’ve changed, or rather, I’ve stayed the same as before, but with a different attitude towards life. Enjoying the moment: Life is now“.
Carolina Marconi, the failed adoption and the bitterness
Although Carolina is happy to be over all the suffering associated with the disease, one wish she still wants to fulfill is to become a mother. She managed to freeze only one egg, but before resorting to assisted fertilization, she dreamed would be to adopt a childwhich unfortunately has not yet been approved as a former cancer patient.
“With Alessandro We immediately thought of adopting a child. We also asked about the rented womb, but I prefer to give a new life to a child who deserves it – he explained -. Unfortunately I have to wait because I had a tumour, we’re talking about 5 years. It’s absurd: if you’ve had cancer, you can’t apply for a mortgage, get a loan, or adopt a child. There is discrimination.”
However, the showgirl has no intention of giving up: It is ready to fight for the right to oncological oblivion, which could allow those cured of cancer (as is already the case in other European countries) to face the future with serenity, without the shadow of the disease. “I am not my tumor, we all deserve to have a family. Today I’m healthy!” she said.
And she said she was hopeful for the future: “Alessandro and I have a lot of love to give: I hope to be able to adopt a child and then start one with peace of mind.”
