Singer Preta Gil, 48, used social media this Tuesday (10) to tell fans that she has bowel cancer. She was hospitalized for six days at Clínica São Vicente, in Rio, due to a discomfort she felt and, after tests, she discovered the disease.
“Thank God, today I received a definitive diagnosis. I have an adenocarcinoma in the final portion of the intestine. I start my treatment next Monday [16] and I count on everyone’s energy to keep calm and confident.
Initially, the singer’s family had said that she had been hospitalized on January 5 due to a persistent migraine attack, which made doctors recommend a series of tests. “The resonance of the head did not give anything, everything is fine. Her intestine is stuck, maybe she has to do a wash and then go back home”, said Flora Gil, wife of Gilberto Gil, father of the singer.
After confirming that the singer has cancer, relatives and celebrities sent messages of support. Love you sister!!! Let’s go together and hand in hand”, wrote Bela Gil on the singer’s Instagram. A close friend of the singer, Carolina Dieckmann told the F5 who spent the whole week with her. “It was a shock, but Pretinha is very strong and has a lot of faith.
According to Sobed (Brazilian Society of Digestive Endoscopy), adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that can affect various segments of the digestive tract, including the large intestine. It usually appears as a small polyp that in about ten years grows in size and evolves into adenocarcinoma.
