Helena Costa was on this Friday, July 23rd, on the Cristina ComVida program. The actress was present to recall the stage in which she battled lung cancer, last April.
In a conversation with Cristina Ferreira, Helena Costa began by recalling that the symptoms manifested themselves during the recording of TVI’s soap opera Amar Demis and that after they were finished, she decided to take the tests:
“I was suffocating (…) I thought it was from fatigue (…) when the telenovela ended, I said:“ I’m going to get tested ”(…) I was immediately told asthma (…) but they prescribed me medications, but this is not a result (. ..) we did a computed tomography when the diagnosis was not diagnosed “– he explained, noting that, on the suspicion of the doctor, they decided to conduct a bronchoscopy with a biopsy:
“I didn’t want it to be something more serious (…) but what was reported that day was a carcinoid tumor, a question mark (…) then you just cry (…) everyone knows lung cancer is destructive (…) I could not help but avoid negative thoughts, this is impossible (…) my daughters, I wanted to know about myself… “– he admitted in tears. “It’s just because who will love my daughters as much as I do? Nothing else, they won’t have a mother. “collapsed later.
“I am in the process of recovery (…)”
Helena Costa then explained that she had half of her lung removed and that she had decided to write down a few moments before the operation, as she could not escape the worst thoughts:
“I was not here, I was not in this world (…) before the operation, the person thinks he will die (…) as soon as I wake up after the operation (…) this is “good, I have already recovered” (…) now he is alive, I will live to the fullest, I will like everything “, she admitted, noting, however, that only after a few weeks she received the desired result: she recovered.
Recall that Helena Costa is the mother of two-year-old twins Mercedes and Maria do Mar.
