Sergio Peris-Mencheta faces one of the most difficult battles of his life since he shared his cancer diagnosis on January 22. In the midst of this difficult moment, the actor has not missed the opportunity to be transparent with his followers, explaining that he is undergoing chemotherapy treatment and waiting for a bone marrow transplant.
With the frankness that characterizes him, the interpreter has shared a message with his followers to clarify any misunderstanding about his treatment in the United States, emphasizing that his preference has always been the Spanish Public Health Service, of which he declares himself a “firm defender.”
“Perhaps I shouldn’t justify anything, but now that I still have some extra energy, here are some considerations that would be good to bring to light to avoid misunderstandings and respond to the incipient trolling,” the interpreter wrote on his social networks. To shed light on what happened to him, Peres-Mencheta, 48, explained that his intention was to return to Spain for treatment, but a last-minute renal colic forced him to be admitted urgently to the City Of Hope Hospital. from California, preventing any short or medium term travel.
This situation has forced him to remain in the United States, where, thanks to his membership in the North American Actors Union (SAG), he has health insurance that covers a large part of his medical expenses. If it had not been for the fact that she is in such a delicate situation, Peris-Mencheta has assured that she would have chosen to receive health care in Spain. Despite this justification, a good number of followers have reminded him that he should not explain what he does with his life.
It is not the first scare that the Madrid native has given his followers regarding his health; A year ago, he worried more than one by publishing a photo from a hospital in Madrid. Although on that occasion he did not go into details about what was happening to him, this time he preferred to be totally transparent about his fight against cancer and the steps he is following to undergo a bone marrow transplant.
In these complicated moments, Peris-Mencheta has taken advantage of his post to share his feelings about this difficult stage: he feels “vulnerable, terrified and small.” Despite the fear, he at the same time is full of hope and will to defeat the disease.
