The author and presenter Ece Vahapoğlu announced that she has been undergoing cancer treatment for two months. Vahapoğlu, who revealed that she started chemotherapy after being diagnosed with rectal cancer, said, "Even someone as healthy as I am can face this… Please do not neglect your check-ups."
Author and television presenter Ece Vahapoğlu announced through a post on her social media account that she has been battling rectal cancer for the past two months. Vahapoğlu expressed that she felt the need to make the announcement herself due to the increasing number of phone calls she received. She shared details and her feelings about the cancer process with the public in a sincere manner.
My life has been going on between treatments for a while now (for two months). On the day the schools opened, I learned that I had 'rectal cancer' during a colonoscopy I had; after calmly getting through the shock of that first week, my chemotherapy treatment began. Thank God, the 3rd chemo was completed this week. I am fine. You know me; no matter what life brings, I always give thanks; I stand strong.
"DON'T SKIP YOUR CHECK-UPS"
Known for her discipline in sports, nutrition, yoga, and meditation, Vahapoğlu emphasized that despite her healthy lifestyle, getting cancer once again showed how vital regular health check-ups are. Vahapoğlu continued her words as follows, "Thank God, the 3rd chemo was completed this week. I am fine. You know me; no matter what life brings, I always give thanks; I stand strong. I did not see the tumor as an enemy; I believed there would be a thorough cleansing. I lost my mother and father one after the other. Even someone who lives as healthily as I do, eats balanced, exercises, and does not skip yoga and meditation can face this… Don't skip your check-ups.
"I AM CONTINUING MY LIFE WITHOUT DELAYING IT"
Vahapoğlu, who stated that the treatment process is ongoing and that she rests from time to time, also explained that she has not taken a break from her daily life and projects. She announced that her new book has been published during this period and that a television program she had previously accepted an offer for will soon start on a new channel.
