Sara Carbonero used the occasion of her birthday to share a meaningful message, especially for people fighting cancer.
Sara Carbonero is known in the Spanish-speaking world as a sports reporter and TV host, as well as for her involvement in fashion. She’s also a cancer survivor, and on February 3 this year, she used the occasion of her birthday to share a meaningful message. Her words are an encouragement for many people, especially people who are fighting cancer.
"Scars that are smiling on my skin."
She posted this next to an image that puts the focus on her beauty—not just on her face or her body, but specifically on her body that has been pierced by a scalpel.
At 38 years old, Sara has two sons, Martin and Lucas, who are now 7 and 5 years-old. In 2019, doctors diagnosed her with ovarian cancer. She had to undergo surgery and received chemotherapy. Thousands of people were attentively following her situation. Many people prayed for her. There was an abundance of good will and of affection that was greater than the "haters" and the envy that celebrities often inspire.
Her birthday message aims to encourage not only the sick but also all those who suffer low self-esteem, those who are suffering a physical wound and those who carry wounds in the soul. (Who doesn’t?)
And her assessment is this:

Messages of support

Among them, there’s one particularly worth reading, from a doctor who is an activist in favor of cancer patients. “Spiriman,” Jesús Candel (that's his real name), writes to her:
Spiriman knows what he is talking about. He’s not only a doctor, but now an oncology patient battling lung cancer. Let us pray for him and all those fighting sickness and disease.
