Last May marked a before and after in the life of Manu Sánchez. The renowned host of the program La afternoon,here andnow on Canal Sur announced at that time that he was suffering from cancer, and that he had to temporarily stop his work activity. Since then, the support received by the world of communication in Spain has been immense, just as it has been in his most personal environment. In particular, his fiancée, Lorena Sánchez.
The communicator's partner published a heartfelt message of encouragement through her Instagram profile, highlighting the deep reflection that her husband made on the Hora 25 program this past Tuesday. “The hardest thing of all was accepting my own death. This is the great exercise, the great psychological pirouette. Realize that this can end at any moment,” she declared, comparing life to an exam where we are not aware that, when we least expect it, they ask to hand it in.
“You are the focus that projects, transforms and illuminates us. How lucky we are,” Lorena indicated in her attached message. The publication was soon filled with responses, leaving their grain of sand, sending encouragement to the family. “How right you are. We do not realize that life is only one and at any moment it can end. How glad I am to see you this well, to enjoy every moment with your beautiful family, to be happy and to live every moment,” reflected one user.
Other well-known figures from his work environment spoke out to send their love to the presenter. “You are light. How lucky my friend is,” said Toñi Moreno. Roberto Leal, presenter of Pasapalabra, launched a simple but powerful “Avanti”, while Marisa Jara vindicated Sánchez's words: “Totally. That's how it is. How great you are, Manu.” Some words that the affected person himself also wanted to convey about his partner.
“She, always her. The one that never fails. I love you, I need you and boy do I love you. Thank you for not letting me go! Happy now that the goal is near. For that and much more… Now more than ever… Her,” she indicated in a joint publication on October 16. Immeasurable support to overcome a difficult situation, which she discovered last April, two days after her daughter Leonor was born. It was then that she was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
This past Tuesday, as confirmed on Hora 25, Manu Sánchez underwent his last surgical operation to remove “all the affected lymph nodes in his neck.” During his interview, the Canal Sur presenter provided more examples of reflection and wisdom for the listeners present: “In life it is worth moving forward, to keep fighting, if you have to learn to walk again, to speak again, to being in places again and in a different way because you learn.”
