Preta Gil’s doctor gives his opinion on the singer’s health: ‘It’s a little more worrying’

The recent revelation that Preta Gilwas delivered with bowel cancer brought out a wave of solidarity and concern, not only among his fans, but also among his medical team. The singer and presenter, known for her strength and charisma, has faced this return of the disease in four places on her body: two lymph nodes, a metastasis in the peritoneum and a nodule in the ureter.

In a recent statement, Blackexpressed with her followers the struggle that began with initial symptoms, which led her to see a specialist. In an interview with CARAS Magazine, the oncologist Jorge Abissamra, explains and highlighted why it will be a little more complicated for her as she has returned in four places.

“Preta Gil’s illness, according to the information we had, that she passed on to us [por redes sociais ou imprensa]it is a disease that is a little more worrying, because it has spread to other places. And then, as it left that initial location, it is in fact a disease that is a concern for the medical team. It’s not the same treatment, because the treatment she had previously ended up not having the expected results, because the disease returned. So, most likely, the team that is taking care of her, which is a very capable team, will choose other drugs to treat her from now on.”

The doctor explained that lymph nodes, also known as tongues, are points in our immune system that can indicate cancer recurrence. They are usually the first places where the disease manifests or returns, as the body tries to fight tumor cells in these regions.

Initially, the immune system holds off the disease, but eventually it may fail, resulting in enlargement of the lymph node, which becomes a conglomerate of cancerous cells. Therefore, the singer needs specialized medical treatment and care.

An artist who has always been an active voice in the fight for social causes now finds himself in a personal battle. By sharing her experience, she not only empowers her own journey, but also inspires many others not to ignore their body’s signals. The community engagement around her is a testament to her impact and the connection she has created with her fans over the years.

“She broke paradigms when she went, exposed herself and showed what she was feeling, what she was suffering, she encouraged many patients, mainly through the colostomy bag. I don’t know the details of her illness, but she probably had adenocarcinoma of intestinal colon, which is the most common disease of the gastrointestinal tract and which is an aggressive disease like others of the gastrointestinal tract, but the most common, most common disease”.
