 (44) lowered her profile and a couple of years ago she settled in the United States United.

In one of her last television appearances, through a mobile phone for

America

at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, who was the champion of Dancing for a Dream 2007 revealed that she had fallen in love with a Rosario doctor who lived abroad and was starting a new life, far from Argentina.

With little exposure in the networks, Celina "lost track", as they say in journalistic jargon.

However, this Friday the 5th, his return to the journalistic radar was completely unthinkable, painful and moving.

It is that Rucci was encouraged to tell something that few, or perhaps only her intimates, knew: during the last months she had to battle against a cancer that put her life in check and keeps her still under cancer treatment.

The curious thing, moreover, is the reason why she was encouraged to make her situation public, a decision she made after an outing with friends in which she suffered an (at least for her) uncomfortable accident.

"2020 was a surprise for everyone. For me it was a great challenge, which by my own decision I decided to hide. The reasons were various, I had gone to another country, I was far from my affections and I did not want them to carry more worries. That was my plan, to keep it a secret, until yesterday something happened to me that saddened me. So today, I take courage and tell everyone who wants to know it, "Celina begins her long text that was accompanied by a video that shows a sequence of images showing the cancer passing through your body.

Celina Rucci as a panelist in "Incorrect", the program that Moria Casán had on the America screen, in 2019.

The beginning of his story is located at the end of May, when the coronavirus was stealing everyone's attention: "On May 28 I went to a control for an unusual event that was happening to me. That same day I was diagnosed Acute myeloid leukemia, and in a few hours I was hospitalized urgently in the best hospital in New York, "explains Celina.

And there she adds, including her partner in the alternatives: "We immediately began treatment to defeat this disease. I was accompanied at all times by my man, who deserves a chapter apart from how great and angel he is."

"I spent

many days hospitalized, with chemo and everything

. I always took it with a winning attitude, and my mind was sure that I was going to be able to do this. And so it was, after six months of treatments, chemo, punctures and thousands of pills. On November 23, my doctor told me that there were no longer any traces of cancer cells, which is supposed to be very good, but you still can't claim victory because with this type of cancer you never know, "Celina said later, giving account of the drive that characterizes it.

Celina Rucci shared a video showing her fight against leukemia.

"All this that I summarize in a couple of lines was very intense and it cost me a lot to hide it for my networks and followers, I did not want the people who love me and follow me for a long time to see me weak or fragile, because that image was never me, and I preferred to keep it a secret, "he added.


However, everything changed this week, with Celina already back in Buenos Aires, when she had to live that episode that she announced at the start that had "saddened" her.


"I returned to Argentina, where I was able to meet my people again and show them that I am very well and that I am still the same lioness," the star began by saying.

And finally he explained, with his usual sincerity: "Yesterday I went out to dinner with friends, we were happy, celebrating life. We started dancing and in a sudden movement my wig (which I am wearing due to the chemo) came off".

"I felt so vulnerable that I could not return to the place. They told me it was nothing, but I felt that I can no longer hide what had happened to me. For the first time I had shown myself sick in the eyes of others and all this The armor that I have been building since I was a child to be able to survive in this world collapsed in a second, "lamented Celina.

And he concluded, with courage: "I no longer want to continue like this, and that is why I am freeing myself today."

Rucci's shocking testimony made her receive all kinds of comments of approval and admiration, with signs of affection coming from all her followers and also from figures in the environment who were not aware of her situation, transmitting the necessary push to move forward.
