A video shared on social media showed the experienced Mexican football coach ringing the hospital’s traditional bell, a symbol marking the completion of cancer treatment. Family members and close friends applauded and embraced Romano during the emotional moment.
The sound of this bell represents much more than the end of a treatment; it represents 35 days of courage, 35 days of struggle, 35 days of faith, 35 days holding hands. Today we ring it with hearts full of gratitude because God sustained us when we were afraid and gave us strength when we thought we did not have it. Today we are not celebrating only the end of a treatment, we are celebrating life, strength and the resilience of a warrior.

Enjoy it very much, I am sending you a big hug. I love you.” Christian Martinoli and Matías Vuoso also congratulated Romano and praised his strength and determination.
