flower’s fight
Since then, he began his fight, the one he is carrying out victoriously against cancer. He has already finished his chemotherapies, now he is waiting for the surgery.
This Wednesday, in dialogue with Caracol Radio, he recounted details of this process, and also spoke of the evolution of his son.
“It has been one after another, after another, but as I tell my son, I can’t say it was a bad year, because in the end it could have been worse. It’s staying with us that we are alive, together and fighting,” he commented.
“One thinks that it is something distant… It is very hard to see that so many women suffer from the same thing,” she added.
He said that after routine tests he found out about the cancer. At first they did not see anything, but after insisting, the doctors discovered a mass. “It was because of a feeling from Egan, he told me to go to checkups, he insisted. I told him to wait to get out of his own and he put me in control. My dad had cancer, but there was no history of breast cancer in the family,” he said. .
“Everything was fast, I was diagnosed and less than a month I was already undergoing chemotherapies. We did not give the cancer a chance to advance.”
His and Egan’s evolution
“I still need the surgery, but I was able to endure the qimios, which is something very strong,” commented Flor regarding the process.
In recent days, Egan himself broke the news on networks, celebrating the end of his mother’s chemotherapy.
“You cling to life, you think you didn’t do enough for me. You value life… I never had pain. chemo? It didn’t hurt me at all”.
Already on the evolution of Egan, Flor commented that every day she feels more proud, surprised and blessed.
“That boy… every day he surprised us with something, when he walked for the first time… Then the bicycle, the next day, did something else, for more pain, which was too much, he never gave up, he never said I’m going to I’m going to die or I’m going to be in a wheelchair.
“Missing two chemo, he arrived from Europe, they operated on him to remove something from his knee and the next day he was already walking normally. That motivated me, if my son did not complain, I was not going to do it,” he added.
Finally, he commented on Egan’s new stage as a gregarious, something he was not used to: “He says that he enjoys the same because it blesses him a lot to be there, even if he is a gregarious, the fact of walking is a blessing. If he has to be a gregarious, he does it with love and affection. He says, ‘Someday I’ll win races again’, he’s ambitious. He is aware that he is going slowly.”
