Gianluca Vialli gets all-clear from pancreatic cancer
Gianluca Vialli has revealed that he has recovered from pancreatic cancer after undergoing a gruelling 17 months of chemotherapy.
The former Chelsea manager, who made his name as a striker at Sampdoria, before joining Juventus was first cleared of cancer some time in 2017, revealing his initial struggle with the illness a year later.
He later revealed that he was still suffering in 2019, but is delighted to announce now that his tests have shown that he is cancer-free.
“I am fine,” Vialli told La Repubblica.
” In December I finished 17 months of chemotherapy, one cycle of eight months and another of nine. It was difficult, even for someone as tough as me, both physically and mentally.”
“The tests showed no sign of the illness. I am happy, even if I say that under my breath to be on the safe side.
“Regaining my health means seeing myself in the mirror again, seeing the hair grow, not having to draw eyebrows on with a pencil. In that respect, I feel very fortunate compared to many others.”
