Cuando aún no nos habíamos recuperado de un susto, la vida nos ha vuelto a sorprender. Esta vez me ha tocado a mí, esa dichosa palabra de 6 letras que todavía me cuesta escribir. Hace unos días en una revisión, los médicos me vieron un tumor maligno de ovario y ya he sido operada. Todo ha salido muy bien, afortunadamente lo hemos pillado muy a tiempo pero todavía me quedan unos meses de lucha mientras sigo el tratamiento correspondiente. Estoy tranquila y con la confianza de que todo va a salir bien. Sé que el camino será duro pero también que tendrá un final feliz. Cuento con el apoyo de mi familia y amigos y con un gran equipo médico. Aprovecho para pedir desde aquí a mis compañeros periodistas el respeto y la comprensión con los que siempre me habéis tratado, especialmente en estos momentos tan difíciles y delicados para mí y mi familia.
