The singer comments on the filter in relationships caused by the disease and announces involvement in the cancer cause in an interview with JP’s Patrícia Calderón
While recovering from bowel cancer treatment, Simony spoke with presenter Patrícia Calderón of “Jornal da Manhã Interviews”, from Jovem Pan News Fortaleza.
The 46-year-old singer has revealed the impact of the diagnosis on her emotional state. “I have always been attached to my body. For me, as for anyone else, discovering cancer was like drowning in an ocean,” she said.
Even though she was treated by a reputable team in a top tech hospital, she collapsed. “As much as we read (about disease), we are afraid of dying. It is very close to death, to finitude.”
Simony commented on the excessive weight thrown on the shoulders of someone who always looks strong. “We have to demystify that women are supposed to be super powerful. When we have a disease like that, we want to be held.
At the moment, he adjusts to the new reality. She doesn’t romanticize healing. “You have to take exams every 3 months. He is discharged only after 5 years. You have to get used to living this post-cancer life, which is not the same. Change everything, change your way of thinking, change your hair… You change inside and out,” he says.
Mother of 4, the artist has just released the e-book ‘One Day at a Time’, featuring a report on her battle with cancer and reflections on this transformative experience.
“I don’t make long-term plans anymore. Not because I think I’m going to die, I don’t. I think it’s important to live in the present. It’s life, suddenly you’re gone. The most important thing is that you know that you don’t control anything.”
When asked by Patrícia Calderón about the support of relatives and friends during treatment, Simony admitted to disappointments.
“It’s a watershed. In that moment you see who really loves you, he’s on your side, he loves you, he suffers with you or at least tries to understand. The masks are off.”
In addition to resuming her career, the singer intends to use her media exposure to help other cancer patients, especially those dependent on the SUS (Unified Health System).
“I want to get involved in the cause, use my voice that reaches many places, so that I can improve the oncology area. The person who has cancer can’t wait a day longer,” she says.
“We have to push the prevention button. People won’t get so sick anymore if they are able to prevent it. The government would spend less.”
