The Globo TV journalist was fired last December after being diagnosed with aggressive cancer in the tonsil region
Television reporter for TV Globo for over 20 years, Genilson Araujo worried viewers after being absent from Good morning RJ at the beginning of last December. The 64-year-old journalist had to take time off from his morning shift after he was diagnosed with aggressive cancer in the tonsil region. In an interview, Genilson spoke about the sudden surgery and treatment he underwent, as well as his return to ‘Globocop.’
At Audiência Carioca, Genilson provided more details about the diagnosis and the emergency surgery, which took place two days after receiving confirmation of the disease. In the report, the reporter stated that he believed it was tonsillitis.
“I had aggressive cancer removed from one of my tonsils. It took two days between diagnosis and surgery, because there was no time to waste. I received full support, love and comfort from family, friends and from Globo. Now everything is fine. I came out of the surgery well, without any kind of after-effects”, reiterated Genilson, who explained that he will continue treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
According to the journalist, the treatments will not interfere with his return to the screen, scheduled for January 22nd. “I am leaving on a pre-planned vacation. The quick and precise diagnosis, combined with the surgery, was important in my experience. I am very grateful for everyone’s love and prayers. This spiritual strength was felt and fundamental during this whole process,” concluded.
A point of reference in daily journalism, Genilson has 25 years of experience covering the cities of Rio de Janeiro. He also worked at Sistema Globo de Rádio, where he worked at CBN, Beat 98 and Rádio Globo.
