Sara Carbonero that’s it recoveredbut she still has very much in mind what she suffered in 2019. Then, she was diagnosed with a malignant ovarian tumor during a routine check-up, an instant in which his life changed. She did it forever. Five years later she has not been the same, but how did she experience that stage in which she distanced herself from the media to focus solely on your health?
The journalist has photographed herself in front of the mirror to reveal what she sees when she looks in the mirror. A reflection that, in her case, helps her become aware and that more than 1,800 days later this serves to improve her self-esteem.
This is what she herself reveals, who, for the first time, says that she ran away from mirrors for months. She refused to see the more fragile version of herself, the one that, by the way, coincided with her sessions of chemotherapy. At that time, she was in Porto (Portugal), with her two children and away from her job, which she abandoned after requesting a temporary leave at Mediaset.
“My son told me I didn’t look like me”
“Due to life, I have already gone through times in which I ran away from them because I did not recognize the person who showed me the reflection, I even went three or four months without looking at myself in one. In one of those, at the end of the sixth and last cycle of chemotherapy, I was in bed, unable to move, and my oldest son lay down with me. After looking at me carefully, very strangely, he told me: “Mom, it’s just that you have gray eyebrows and you don’t look like yourself.””” Sara begins by saying.
Iker Casillas’ ex lost her characteristic hair. As with many other patients, chemotherapy drugs They attack fast-growing cells, including hair roots. A very striking image for Sara and her family considering that she had even been the image of a well-known shampoo brand.
The conversation between Sara Carbonero and her son that has moved everyone
“At that time, precisely because I didn’t look at myself, I didn’t know that I had lost all the hair on my eyebrows, which are what frame the look and give personality to the face. I didn’t really know how to get out of there and it occurred to me to tell him: And eyelashes? Have you seen that I have only one survivor left? A! The bravest!! He tried to rip it away from me, of course, laughing and we started a pillow fight and then on to something else,” explains Sara.
Although it may have been an uncomfortable and even traumatic conversation at the time, she and her son learned from that stage. Months full of setbacks in which everyone repeated the same wish: for Sara to be cured and everything would be like before. Fortunately it was fulfilled.
“To this day, they proudly tell their friends when Mom had hair “like a boy.” The day they saw me like that for the first time, I brought them some puzzles to divert their attention, as the psychologist told me. But it didn’t work, as the song says: They didn’t take their eyes off me, even running some shy tears down her cheeks. Then, we started looking for photos of cute actresses and singers with short hair and we started with the puzzle,” she says.
It was not easy to deal with his new image. Accustomed to being praised and hired by different campaigns, she felt vulnerable overnight. Not only for her, but for her two little ones, who did not let go of her hand for even a moment. Perhaps because they did not gauge her severity, but they were the first to encourage her, no matter where her illness was.
“The laughter came when that same summer a shampoo commercial that I recorded months before appeared on TV with my long hair moving back and forth. The last straw. This served to make the dwarfs imitate me and encourage me: “You’ll be back at it soon, mom.” “And also, you will no longer have gray eyebrows.”concludes Sara Carbonero in her last post.
