A huge scar, which every day reminds her how lucky she is and how much she is loved: Gabriella Labate’s story
Gabriella Labate she returned to talk about her illness and how Raf’s support has always helped her overcome everything. The Italian showgirl and actress has a scar that starts from her chest and reaches up to her groin. Every day she reminds her of that period of life when everything seemed dark.
I would have done without it. But in life I am also grateful for this pain. It reminds me that, while the world around me leaves me dismayed, I am lucky. And for this fortune I am grateful to the family I come from and to the one I built with Raffaele.
Raf, full name Raffaele Riefoli and Gabriella Labate are married in 1996 and since that day they have never abandoned each other. They shared everything for 35 years (including the previous years of dating).
The Italian actress spoke about her illness in her Nudes novel. Fortunately, in addition to that very long scar, her illness has left her with no health problems.
Apart from this huge scar, because they had to remove a mass that had reached my heart from the uterus. I call him “My Monster”. It is a very rare pathology. Raffaele lived with me, night and day, on the tenth floor of the Gemelli Polyclinic for months. But perhaps certain messages arrive to make you fully understand the beauty of what you have.
He had already spoken about it to very true, in front of the cameras of Silvia Toffanin. Gabriella felt a strange sensation inside her, she called it “Like a tear”. So, asking for help from a friend who is a sonographer, she discovered that something was wrong.
They hospitalized me urgently for a vena cava. I didn’t notice anything. After the CT scan, they tell me that that wasn’t the only problem. I had a large mass on both my uterus and right ovary. Alien, as I call it, had branched out, through the ovarian veins into all the vessels, all the way to the heart. It had to be removed immediately.
The showgirl was forced to remove her uterus and ovaries and undergo another cardiac surgery. It’s been hellish months, but today she’s fine and when she looks at that big scar, she thanks her life for giving her her family and her possibility of continuing to love her.
