But this Tuesday, April 18, she finally broke the silence in an Instagram story to explain that she was going through a new important ordeal. “Hello everyone, (…) I’m sorry if I don’t answer everyone individually it’s just impossible with treatments and baby. So I’m making a little message here to tell you that last Tuesday’s chemo was less harsh than the previous one. I really think that acupuncture and magnetism really helped me,” she confided.
And to add: “At D+7, the side effects are still a bit there (nausea, headaches, fatigue) but overall it’s fine, nothing to do with the previous chemo. Today it’s been 3 months + a day since this cancer was diagnosed and I have an important exam this afternoon I will find out if the treatments are working for now I will keep you posted. Thank you all for your kindness”. Its subscribers now hope that their favorite weather presenter will soon announce great news for a bright future in the company of her little girl.
