Last November on Afternoon 5 Eleonora Giorgi revealed that doctors diagnosed her with pancreatic cancer. The famous actress was yesterday from Nunzia De Girolamo on Estate in Diretta and explained that she will have to undergo another cycle of chemotherapy and that this time her hair could fall out. Eleonora Giorgi confessed that this is a period of fragility for her and that every now and then she has moments of weakness, especially when she thinks that she could leave and leave her children and grandchild.
“Now that I am very ill I need kindness. If one has to leave the scene he must do so with goodness. I have a new hair look. Do you see my hair less thick? After six months of chemo, they didn’t fall out, now I’ve changed chemo and now it seems they might fall out. So I went blonde and said ‘if my hair is going to fall out, let it fall out blonde’. I went and said ‘make me blonde’. Now they have to fall and I’m preparing some headbands with fringe.
I have been living surrounded by love for months and since I spoke about the disease thousands of people have written to me. A group of people who give me gifts, stay close to me, write to me. Then even in the clinics I found staff of very human, patient, sweet people. They are in the hands of science, because every day there are breakthroughs. Talking about it certainly helps. Also because there is an unacceptable amount of young people in my situation, in the end I am old. If I didn’t have my grandson and children I would say ‘patience’.
What if I reacted strongly? Let’s say I challenge evil, like with hair. Do they fall? They fall blonde! But he is terrible, pancreatic cancer is this. He is in your blood when they operate on you, he begins to travel, he goes to sow. So we had to change chemo, another very robust one. This is because we must prevent him from taking root elsewhere. But laughing is important. How am I eight months after diagnosis? I’m a bit fragile, I confess, I have moments of weakness. I cry tears of blood when I think I might leave and I think of my children and grandson. We all have an expiration date.”
