The blogger's lover, choreographer Luis Squicciarini, spoke about her condition and support during the fight against cancer. What is known about Chekalina's health, her return to active life and the criminal case is in the Izvestia material.
Lercek has completed a course of chemotherapy
Chekalina is undergoing treatment for stage IV stomach cancer. The blogger was diagnosed at the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology. Initially, her symptoms were associated with renal colic.
To date, Chekalina has completed radiation therapy and has also undergone nine courses of chemotherapy. Squicciarini announced the completion of this stage of treatment on July 15. Despite the end of chemotherapy, the blogger's treatment continues. According to the choreographer, now Chekalina needs to undergo immune and targeted therapy every two weeks.
Squicciarini noted that the blogger maintains a positive attitude even during periods of physical weakness.
"I want to say that I am proud of Leroy. She's just great, she's always smiling, always positive, even when she has little energy, even when she's having a hard time. She's always there," he said.
How Luis Squicciarini supports Lercek
During treatment, Squicciarini stays close to Cecaline and tries to support her. After completing the last course of chemotherapy, he presented his beloved with a bouquet of peony-shaped roses.
The choreographer also showed how they watched the 2026 FIFA World Cup match together. In the published footage, Chekalina, with an ultra-short haircut, rejoiced at the victory of the Argentine national team in the semifinals.
After the end of radiation therapy, doctors allowed the blogger moderate physical activity. She started practicing Argentine tango again, which she called part of her recovery.
"For me, tango is not just a dance, it's movement, it's music, it's life, it's my way of healing," Chekalina shared.
The blogger noted that the classes help her to distract from the treatment and related experiences. According to her, while dancing, she focuses on movement and interaction with her partner and forgets about problems for a while.
The new Lercek project
Despite the treatment, Chekalina continues to engage in professional projects. She launched the women's clothing brand LEA and participated in the creation of the first collection at various stages of therapy.
The project became one of the areas that allowed the blogger to remain active while fighting the disease.
What is known about the Lercek criminal case
At the same time, the criminal case against Valeria Chekalina continues. She is accused of illegally transferring more than 250 million rubles abroad.
During the investigation, the Gagarin District Court of Moscow allowed the blogger to change his address. In mid-July, the motion to reopen the case was dismissed.
Earlier, Valeria Chekalina and her ex-husband Artem Chekalin fully paid off their debts to the Federal Tax Service. Its size was 175 million rubles. To pay off the debt, the family had to sell the mansion.
