Ana Obregón grants one of the most personal interviews to ‘My house is yours’. Among the topics they discussed, the presenter and new investigator of ‘Mask Singer’ spoke with Bertín Osborne on Monday about how she felt after the death of her son: “When you lose a child you feel infinite pain, which has no limits, and also infinite love.“.

The actress also recalled how her son’s tumor was detected, revealing that Alex Lecquio has been suffering from stomach pain for the three months prior to that moment: “They said it was gastroenteritis. After filming ‘Paquita Salas’, I was eating in restaurant when he called me. He told me he was terrible. We went to a hospital for tests. They asked me if he had eaten because they had to take him to the operating roomAna Obregón assured, also remembering that she immediately called Alessandro Lecquio, Alex’s father: “He has always been there.”

After being wheeled into the operating room at midnight, Obregón recalls how the doctor came minutes later from the room, asking him to sit down: “He told me that my son had a tumor. He did not know what to do. Wait. My sedated son arrives and I call Alessandro to tell him that I’m crying like a cupcake and that he didn’t understand what was happening. He couldn’t come anymore. I asked him what would he tell him if he woke up and he told me not to say anything to him.”

“That has been one of the hardest moments. I was awake looking at him and, in the morning, the father came and we told him. Then, the doctor told us that it could be benign, and there we saw hope. They did a biopsy, but It took 10 days. Those were tremendous days, because it’s like waiting for your death sentence, and They call me and tell me that he is bad and very aggressive. That’s when I told myself not to cry and be strong. Let’s fight now. I was strong there when my son needed me, not now“.

In those hard moments, Ana Obregón remembers that she used her strength so that Alex would not see her badly when it came to communicating this news: “At that moment I was in bed and, at that moment, I had done all my adrenaline as a mother and I said The father came crying and I sent him to my sister’s house, since nobody was going to cry there in front of him. Alex came in and I told him with a cigarette in the mother. He always remembered that. He asked me if it was going to work. I told him yes, and that’s what annoys me the most, but well…“

At that moment, the presenter learned that the type of cancer that Álex had been diagnosed with could be treated with proton therapy, receiving the recommendation to travel to New York to receive it after asking the prestigious oncologist Josep Anselga for advice: “I went with My son’s biopsy was in the suitcase. Me, him and the father left, who left everything at that time. He spoke with Ana Rosa and she understood, and so we arrived there with all hope. We had 7 months there. We did 10 and 12 hour chemo in the hospitalhe”

“In total, he did more than 100 chemo, but every day he came with him and that sense of humor, which is the greatest lesson in love that can be given. She saw him so strongly. I was so cute. Then at night I cried like a cupcake in the room, but in the morning I put on makeup because I had to see myself,” said the actress, who said that the strength that her son had in those moments was what “killed” her: “She deserved to be here. That’s how my six months in New York went.”

In addition to telling what also happened with the lodging in the Big Apple, Obregón also wondered how he was able to have the strength to handle those moments: “An adrenaline rush comes out. I remember that we started chemo and we had to leave urgently at night because I had 39ºC of fever. We looked for a taxi and, when we arrived, the hospital was full. We spent the night in the corridor. And of those many “.
