Telecinco presenter
Ana Rosa Quintana
will momentarily leave her morning show to treat breast cancer.
This was announced this Tuesday by the
host
of
The AR program
who since 2005 has directed this time slot on the Mediaset channel.
"Today I want to say goodbye for a season,
I hope it is not very long, but I have been found to have breast cancer,
" said the journalist who also pointed out that this is "the hardest thing" that has happened in her life, although suffered a similar problem 10 years ago.
Patricia Pardo,
substitute for the Madrilenian during the summer period, will now take over from the program during her recovery process.
"Normally I have not missed my appointment with you and I am so grateful to all of you who have followed us here that I have to share this with everyone. They
have detected a carcinoma in a breast, but fortunately it is localized and there are no metastases"
, Quintana has indicated that in his more than 40 years in the journalistic profession he has worked in RNE, TVE, Cope, Antena 3 Radio and Telecinco.
The Telecinco presenter has emerged as one of the television morning fixtures, but her beginnings were glued to the morning radio waves of Radio Nacional de España.
In 1982, after a stint on Radio Intercontinental, he presented the nightly edition of the Telediario on La 1.
Just a year later, the journalist moved to New York where she worked
as a correspondent for Cadena Cope and
Tiempo
magazine
.
And in 1994 he made the final leap to television with Telecinco, where he presented the trial program Verdict and the space Never is late.
In 1997, Quintana signed for Antena 3 to present the program
Sincerely Ana Rosa Quintana
and that same year he joined Rosa Villacastín in the pink press with the tabletop magazine
Extra Rosa
.
In 1998, he will leave this program to present
Sabor a ti
that in 2004 will not be renewed.
In January 2005, the Madrilenian will return to Telecinco and will settle in the morning slot to compete with María Teresa Campos, brand new signing for that slot of Antena 3. A journey that has lasted for the last 16 years with
The AR program
, until this moment when the disease will force her to be away for some time to undergo "intense treatment."
The presenter already knows the process because, as she herself has related, in July 2010 she already underwent an operation for "a grade 1 cancer".
"I had a good diagnosis and I decided that it did not exist in my life," said the journalist, who assured that she felt "calm" and
reminded women "of the importance of not skipping even a review
.
"
"I trust my doctors and I hope that everything ends with a happy ending because fortunately research and medicine have advanced a lot in breast cancer," said Quintana, who pointed out that his last week has been "rare" having to be absent before several programs and not presenting the Friday before the bridge.
The departure of Ana Rosa Quinta occurs almost at the same time in which another historical one of the media in Spain, Julia Otero, announced the end of her treatment precisely for another cancer.
The presenter of
Julia en la Onda,
in the afternoons of Onda Cero, left the program at the end of February to treat the disease and just nine months later she will be able to be back in the radio space of the Atresmedia station.
