Blogger Valeria Chekalina (also known as Lercek) was hospitalized in an oncological center with stage four cancer. She is undergoing chemotherapy. All the details are in the Izvestia article.

Diagnosis and hospitalization

A critical deterioration in Chekalina's condition occurred after the birth of her fourth child. After giving birth on February 26, the blogger was admitted to the intensive care unit. During a medical examination, doctors discovered a malignant neoplasm and the presence of metastases.

The disease has spread to vital body systems, affecting, in addition to the stomach, the spine. Because of this, Lercek needed urgent surgery. She is currently experiencing severe pain, which doctors use powerful painkillers to relieve.

The therapy process

On the evening of March 12, the blogger was transferred to the state cancer center for an intensive course of chemotherapy. The institution's specialists are currently selecting the optimal strategy for further treatment. The Chekalina family intends to continue fighting the disease, despite the severity of the diagnosis.

In the clinic, the blogger is supported by an Argentine dancer and the father of her fourth child, Luis Squicciarini. He confirmed Lercek's willingness to receive treatment and her determination. In his social networks, he revealed details of the health status of a loved one.

"My strongest, most radiant and beloved girl has stage four stomach cancer with metastases in her spine, legs and possibly lungs. The diagnosis has already been confirmed," Luis Squicciarini said.

Opinions in the blogger's environment

Chekalina's friends and colleagues express their support on social media. A friend of the blogger, Alina Akilova, was one of the first to confirm information about the spread of metastases in the body. TV presenter Victoria Bonya also commented on the situation, linking the severity of the condition to the lack of timely medical monitoring.

According to Bonya, a year ago the court refused the opportunity to undergo the necessary examination. According to her, the blogger's health required constant monitoring by specialists.

"Lerchek has metastases in her lungs. At the same time, the court denied her the opportunity to go for an examination a year ago, although her health required constant monitoring," the TV presenter said.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
