The tumor recurred three times (the last in 2013) and three times “I was afraid of dying”. But even if they removed her ovaries, Emma Brown continues to dream of becoming a mother. «I haven’t had time to freeze my eggs but I might still be able to have children. I have a uterus,” the singer told “Hyenas”, then defining as “a huge bitch” the fact that in Italy single women cannot have children through assisted fertilization. “I am 39 years old and have all the tools to be a mother: economic, psychological, family support, but since I don’t have a partner, I cannot have the right to become a mother.”
In the service that will be broadcast in the April 16 episode Marrone retraced the stages of her illness, from the accidental discovery of cancer in 2009 to the operation in which her ovaries were removed. «A friend of mine, a work colleague, had to have a gynecological examination and had asked me to accompany her. Once there, she proposed that I do the same visit, assuring me that the doctor was good. I saw her face change color and from there it was hell.” After the first, terrible diagnosis, in 2010 she arrived “Friends” and even though the audition went terribly (“I was in a difficult, complicated phase. I was still recovering physically from the first cancer that had struck me in that period, I had also lost hope and faith a little in life, in general »), the victory of the talent show of Maria De Filippi gave her notoriety.
But a new pain was around the corner: in September 2022 the beloved dad Rosario – the one who had always supported and encouraged her to follow her passion for music – passed away due to leukemia. «I was on the sofa, the phone rang and it was my brother. I understood everything immediately – he said Emma, remembering the moment when she was given the bad news – . I could hear the screams of my mother and my brother saying “Chicca go home, dad’s no longer here” and then, oh well, hell.”
