Singer João Neto, duo of singer Frederico, revealed this Wednesday afternoon (16) that he is undergoing treatment to cure thyroid cancer. He said he received the diagnosis in December 2021 after a series of routine tests.
The announcement was made through the duo’s social media. According to João Neto, he decided to talk about it to alert fans about the disease and advise them to be tested constantly.
“I decided to share this moment with you,” said the musician. “It’s a silent disease, I’ve never felt anything at all, and I would like to leave a warning to everyone to take care of themselves. Do routine exams, it’s too bad to be taken by surprise like I was.”
The singer also said that he will undergo surgery to remove the tumor. The procedure should take place at the Hospital de Amor (formerly the Barretos Cancer Hospital), in the interior of São Paulo.
“I really count on everyone’s prayers, on the positive thinking of each one of you”, said João Neto. “I’m going to stay in a hospital that is a reference in the world and God willing, everything will be fine.”
The publication received several responses with messages of support for the singer. Among them, some colleagues such as Claudia Leitte, João Bosco (Vinicius’ duo), Wanessa, Lucio Mauro Filho and the duo Maria Cecilia and Rodolfo.
