Sergio Peris-Mencheta surprised everyone a few weeks ago by announcing that he had been diagnosed with cancer and was receiving treatment, waiting for a bone marrow transplant. The actor, who had to be admitted urgently to a hospital in Los Angeles, wanted to tell about his situation to avoid speculation about his condition and, in addition, encourage the donation of bone marrow and stem cells.
A few weeks later, the 48-year-old actor and theater director has reappeared to update his health. At the moment, he is receiving treatment in the United States, where he lives much of the year due to his projects. From there he shared a very revealing image, with which he revealed some details of the process he is experiencing.

In the middle of the second cycle. We continue step by step,” he writes in his message, hinting that he has already started his chemotherapy treatments and perhaps the consequences of his hair loss are imminent.
The actor also took the opportunity to reflect after his friend Nico Entel shared an image of him from a few hours ago on his Instagram account. In the photograph, you can see the obvious physical change of the actor, much thinner.
