The actress received all the doses for Covid listed for her age group and recovered well when she contracted it.
In 2015, Susana Vieira was diagnosed with CLL Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and has been living with the disease ever since, which is chronic.
During her participation in the Altas Horas program in 2020, she spoke about the problem and gave more details.
“The doctor said coldly, ‘You have lymphocytic leukemia’. And then I asked, ‘How many months do I have?’. Then he gave me a message that’s good on the one hand and not on the other: that my leukemia is inoperable, it’s chronic, so I have cancer like it’s a bomb inside me, but it encourages me to say I’m going to win, this isn’t mine,” he said.
“I have hemolytic anemia, two rare and serious diseases, but with my joy and good humor I can even play with it. I can go on living and it’s that joy that keeps me sane,” he said.
