Carlos Villagrán, the famous Quico actor in “El Chavo del Ocho”, was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. According to various portals, the 79-year-old interpreter’s entourage has decided to stay away from the cameras at this difficult time.
At almost 80 years of age, Carlos Villagrán still maintains that spark that has characterized him throughout his career. And although he seemed away from the press after coming out of an operation, the native of Querétaro showed that he was happy after undergoing his surgery without major complications.
“I just had prostate surgery and nothing else”Villagrán stressed to different media after coming out of his surgery.
Along these lines, the Aztec actor was grateful for leaving the operating room without any incident. “It is the only operation I have, I came out of it, I thanked God.”
CARLOS VILLAGRAN: THE FAMOUS INTERPRETER OF QUICO HAS CANCER
When besieged by the press, one of the recurring topics was the inheritance and the will that Villagrán had to leave while he was alive. In this regard, the Mexican actor revealed that he had given up doing it out of fear, despite the risk that his heirs could face.
“I haven’t made my will yet. It’s irresponsible on my part, I know. But I’m afraid to make my will.”held. “According to Murphy’s theory, as soon as you say one thing, it changes everything. So, I keep thinking about it a little more”.
It is worth highlighting that cancer in the Villagrán environment is not a new disease. In mid-July, Vanesa, the artist’s daughter, underwent treatment against this disease that included doses of chemotherapy and surgery.
Fortunately, the 40-year-old woman managed to document the entire combative process against the disease and on October 20, she announced that she had won the battle against cancer.
Now it is Villagrán Sr. who must face the details of this cruel disease that terrifies his life and the hopes of his fans. Let us remember that the actor had started the farewell tour of his iconic character in 2023 dressed in a sailor suit.
It was at the beginning of the year that the 79-year-old actor announced the end of his tours with this famous television personality. “The time has come to say goodbye to the people, goodbye to everyone. Because of my age, out of respect for me, out of respect for people, out of respect for everyone. “I am old enough to retire.”the Mexican said to the morning newspaper “Hoy Día”.
It is clear that, beyond the character, today it is necessary to preserve the health of human beings. Lots of strength, dear Quico!
WHAT IS PROSTATE CANCER?
According to the American Cancer Society portal, prostate cancer develops when prostate cells begin to proliferate uncontrollably. The prostate is a gland present exclusively in men, and its function is to produce part of the seminal fluid.
The prostate is below the bladder (the hollow organ where urine is stored) and in front of the rectum (the last part of the intestines). Just behind the prostate are glands called seminal vesicles, which produce most of the semen fluid. The urethrawhich is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body through the penis, runs through the center of the prostate.
Some research indicates that prostate cancer may originate from a precancerous condition, although this is not yet fully understood. These conditions are sometimes identified during a prostate biopsy, a procedure in which small samples of the prostate are removed to test for the presence of cancer.
