In a social media post, Anita He updated the health status of his father, Mauro Machado, who had a stroke earlier this week. The singer also revealed that her father had lung cancer, but confirmed that the tumor was successfully removed during surgery.
– is over! Last week, I got stuck on one thing that could be holding back my strength. my family. My dad (my best friend) had a sudden stroke earlier in the week and then things changed very quickly. Anita said the amazing doctor Ludmila Hajjar decided to examine not only her brain, but her entire body and found lung cancer.
In the fight against cancer, the singer’s father received special support. Mauro Machado, a motorsport enthusiast, received a video containing a message of support from British driver Lewis Hamilton, seven-time Formula 1 champion, and Anita posted her father’s reaction, and also thanked the Mercedes driver, who is her longtime friend.
– The cancer was completely removed and today after all the new tests my dad is 100% cured. Miracles are possible. Thank you thank you thank you! (Also to Lewis Hamilton, my dad’s biggest idol, who helped him send a video of him on the day of his surgery to make him think positively and believe in the cure.) I never felt so sad then … but now … I never felt so happy – he said.
