At the end of last year, Cristina Medina, known for playing Nines in The one that is cominghe announced that he had been detected with breast cancer. The actress then began the respective treatment to cure this type of ailments for which she came to lose her hair. A few weeks ago, Medina herself shared on Instagram the rush she felt when it came to showing her hairless head in public. However, he said in social networks that he felt that he could be an example for people who suffer from the same ailment and in the end he managed to arm himself with the courage to go out on the street and make his case visible.
Now, after finishing the chemotherapy and the radio, the interpreter wanted to share a reflection on how she feels after finishing the whole process in case there are other people who have the same feeling. Medina has told in an Instagram video that he is in hormonal treatment and that as a result of that his joints hurt a lot. But it’s not the only setback he’s encountering. The actress has confessed that now is when she is releasing all the emotions that she has repressed during these months.
Cristina Medina talks about what she feels in a new Instagram video
“When they diagnose you and you enter the process of doctors and treatment, they destroy you”, says the Gaditana in the reflection. Now is when the feelings of sadness, anxiety and fear that he has repressed since he was diagnosed with cancer have come to him. The actress reveals in the video that she has come to the conclusion that once the worst has happened she is living a kind of mourning for the person she was before the illness and that she knows she will never return.
In this sense, he also speaks of a phrase that other people who have passed the disease tell him:”when everything passes, you will be the improved version of yourself.” But Medina is not so positive about it and he says that at the moment he does not feel an improved version because he feels that his previous version is destroyed by the hard times he has had to go through.
Of course, Cristina Medina wanted to end her reflection with a message of hope and said that perhaps in a few months, when she feels more recovered, the Medina of yesteryear will return and with everything she has learned these months she will create a new version of herself. In addition, he wanted to make visible that it is okay not to “feel happy having finished the treatment” and feel “like a cat in a bag”, because the process that cancer patients go through is a process that wears out a lot. “People who fucking insist that we’re okay when we’re not, if they don’t want to hear the truth, don’t ask. Normally, they are people who are not in your day to day, because if not, they know perfectly well that you are not”, concludes Medina his reflection.
