Famous dignified millions of anonymous patients when talking about cancer openly

Every year, from 600,000 to 700,000 Brazilians receive a diagnosis of cancer. Most of them will fight the disease anonymity, using Sus.

A small portion are the celebrities that are treated in the most modern hospitals in the country. This group now joins the presenter and Chef Edudes for 51 years and Chef Edu Guedes, made for the removal of nodules in the pancreas.

His first public manifestation after the revelation of the disease brings a strong message to all patients in a similar situation. “This is not the end, but the beginning.”

The same optimism shared by Ana Maria Braga, 76 years old. The TV star is a five -time sample: he won cancer five times. Use the gigantic visibility of its program at Globo to interview the doctors who guide prevention and treatment.

At the moment, we follow the battle of Preta Gil, 50 years old, confident that an experimental protocol in the United States will bring healing. On social networks, it shows its strength and also the fragility imposed by the disease. It is honestly demonstrated, being a reflection of millions of women and men in war against cancer.

Anyone, famous or unknown, has the right not to expose themselves. For many, privacy is essential. But when a celebrity openly comments cancer, he loves himself when he provides a public service. It gives image and voice to the multiple feelings experienced by all patients, such as fear, pain and hope.

There is still a taboo to talk about cancer and hateful prejudices against people in terms of care. Therefore, when an artist reminds us that anyone of us can happen, humanizes the condition of those who are challenged to face the disease.
