• She said the therapies are heavy yet she is not desperate, is responding well, and is wearing a wig during treatment.
• The TV appearance followed a Sept. 29 Instagram post after four months of silence, which showed her in a wheelchair with her daughter Verdiana.
• Bonaccorti referenced Eleonora Giorgi’s case, noting the same organ is affected and calling the situation difficult.
• Coverage also recalls her prior major heart operation two years ago, when four bypasses were implanted.
