Preta Gil is hospitalized in Rio’s hospital for tests

Preta Gil was admitted again on Wednesday (2) in Rio de Janeiro. The hospitalization occurred two weeks after she was admitted to a hospital in Salvador, Bahia, due to a urinary tract infection.

According to her advisory, the singer is fine, but had to be hospitalized to perform tests and receive medications that can only be administered in a hospital environment, due to the fact that she is an cancer patient. The team did not disclose the name of the hospital in Rio and reported that Preta should be discharged in the coming days.

Preta Gil received the diagnosis of bowel cancer in January 2023. In December of the same year, he announced the end of treatment after undergoing surgery to reconstruct part of the intestinal tract and said he would continue in the process of rehabilitation. Despite the remission of cancer, the singer explained that she would remain under observation for the next five years.

In August 2024, Preta posted an Instagram video revealing that the disease had returned in four body locations: two lymph nodes, a peritoneum metastasis and a nodule in the ureter. In December, he underwent surgery of approximately 21 hours for tumor removal and had to place a definitive colostomy bag.

“I’m getting used to my colostomy bag. I had to put this time this time, not provisional as it was last year. I will be forever with this bag, and I am very grateful to it,” he explained.

Recently, the singer said she will travel to the United States to continue treatment. “Here in Brazil, we have done everything we could. My chances of healing are outside the country, so I can go back and do what I love,” said Preta during a participation in Domingão with Huck last Sunday (30).
