“To everyone texting, my mom is fine, everything is going to be fine.” That was how Francisco Gil, Preta Gil’s son, comforted fans of the artist who found out she had bowel cancer.
Preta herself, 48, used social networks this Tuesday (10) to tell everyone that she had received the positive diagnosis. She was hospitalized for six days at ClÃnica 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 remain calm and confident”, he published.
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.
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.
