- Interview Manu Sánchez: "Television does not create assholes, it discovers them"
The comedian Manu Sánchez has revealed that he suffers from testicular germ cancer that was diagnosed on April 19 and that has forced him to go through the operating room. The Sevillian artist has told in the Canal Sur program La Tarde, aquí y ahora, together with Juan y Medio and Eva Ruiz, that he has been receiving chemotherapy for three weeks and that the treatment, which will last another nine, will force him to stop his professional activity.
Sánchez, 37, has assured that he has chosen this way of making his health problem public "because in all houses good things do not always happen, and I wanted to tell what it is, and that nobody tells what it is not." The Malaga singer Diana Navarro will be in charge of temporarily replacing him in the program Tierra de Talento on Canal Sur.
Manu Sánchez explained that he is being subjected to a "very powerful" treatment, because "removing the fat mess, the rest is very good" and all the tests "are positive". "I'm looking forward to the general election, to August, to a fat mess," he joked, and gave some details of his disease, testicular germ cancer, which, in his case, "only has metastases in the lymph nodes": "My oncologist has told me that I have a good chance of cure."
Always in a tone of good humor, although he acknowledged that the interview could have been suspended if he was not well, he thanked the work of the oncology team of the Virgen del Rocío hospital: "We are lucky to have a public health that is a reference in the world. We don't know how lucky we are. There are reasons to break down, but even with what I have now I keep repeating to myself how lucky we are."
