Argentine television host Marcelo โ€œTetoโ€ Medina shared an update on his health, revealing he is beginning his seventh round of chemotherapy for colon cancer. Diagnosed in January and operated on shortly after, Medina's cancer had developed metastasis in his liver. He detailed his treatment plan on Instagram, explaining that doctors have added another round of chemotherapy before further studies are conducted.

Medina conveyed a message of faith and resilience, urging patience and adherence to medical advice. "It is fundamental to know how to get through this stage, to be calm, to accept what the doctors say, to do things right, that everything will be fine," he stated. He also thanked his followers for their support and shared stories of recovery, emphasizing the importance of a positive outlook.

Despite his ongoing health battle, Medina continues to offer motivational talks online. This health update comes amidst previous legal challenges, including accusations of belonging to an illicit association and charges of repeated sexual abuse and coercive threats, for which he was released from custody.
