Pablo Motos' program on Antena 3 has opened with this group of women, who have made their choreography go viral to ask for more research into the illness they suffer from.
They proposed it, and they have fulfilled it. This Monday, March 8, International Women's Day, several women from the Metastatic Breast Cancer Association have opened 'El Hormiguero' with their now famous dance and have had Pablo Motos himself, the host of the program, participate.
They did so amidst applause from the attendees and collaborators of the program and to the rhythm of the catchy music that the association popularized and which was later echoed by the staff of the Oncology day hospital at the heliport of the Miguel Servet Hospital in Zaragoza and the team. led by the Zaragoza researcher Alberto Jiménez Schuhmacher.
Pilar Fernández, president of the Association and oncology patient, visibly moved, reminded all the women with metastases that they want to “make known the reality” that they live, a chilling reality that means that 20% of these oncology patients “do not “They have a solution.” “We are the other part of the women with breast cancer, the ones who die,” she indicated.
Fernández has also expressed that metastatic breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women between 35 and 50 years old, and that with current treatments their life expectancy "is five years."
However, the presence of 'Las Pilateras', a group of members from Villarrubia de los Ojos (Ciudad Real), representatives of the association in the Antena 3 program, has not had a pessimistic character. They have not brought, in their own words, a “defeatist” message. “We want to live, and the best way to claim our right to life is to dance.” Do not stop the Music!
