On Sunday, the second episode of the new season of ‘Contra Viento y Marea’ aired, where we learned the story of Nathalie and Chary, two sisters who made a very special promise to their father, recently diagnosed with aggressive cancer: they marry their respective boyfriends so that he could fulfill the dream of bringing his two daughters to the altar? Unfortunately, fate took their father away from them sooner than expected and they could not fulfill this great desire.
But the dream of getting married didn’t return until a month later, after Nathalie, the older sister, got news that completely changed her life: a tumor measuring nearly 6 inches was growing in her abdomen? Doctors diagnosed him with stage four cancer. Time was running against him and so his sister Chary promised him that they would fulfill this dream before it was too late.
So it was that the team of ‘Contra Viento y Marea’ took on an epic task for these two sisters to fulfill the promise to come together at the altar and to fulfill it she organized a spectacular double marriage request. in Farellones, where to the rhythm of Nicolás Álamos and Carolina Soto, the bride. and the groom arrived as a surprise to propose to her, shaking hands with their respective girlfriends. And round off this exciting moment with a helicopter flight over Santiago.
But not all was a smile, as Pancho Saavedra took Nathalie to see Dr. Rubén Urrejola, a renowned oncologist, who treated her to clear doubts and to confirm to our friend that the only alternative for her to stay alive is to undergo a complex operation of more. than 15 hours, where they have to remove your tumor and all affected organs. And for that, you have to lose weight because you are a high-risk patient.
You know what makes me angry is the lack of answers and the lack of clarity to patients. It cannot be that because she has reached our program, it cannot be that because we are taking her to a doctor for a second opinion, we are learning about this super raw reality. How is it possible they didn’t give him a biopsy result three years ago after his surgery? What are we talking about ??? were the words of an indignant Pancho Saavedra.
That’s why the Channel 13 driver, along with the two sisters, went to the hospital where Nathalie was undergoing surgery in 2017 to seek answers after failing to undergo biopsy tests. It was in this spot where Pancho Saavedra had a tense confrontation with the hospital authorities who eventually apologized to this chapter’s girlfriend and promised to review all the documents.
At the end,? Against wind and tide? celebrated the first double marriage in the show’s history with Nathalie and Chardy, walking down the aisle together. Then, in one of the episode’s most moving moments, both sisters went to the cemetery to visit their late father and show him that his dream came true.
After a few weeks, Pancho Saavedra met the sisters again to ask Nathalie about her weight loss, but she did not receive a very favorable response. So the team decided to help her with a personal trainer and gym registration so she can reach the goal and undergo the urgent surgery she needs to perform.
“The end of each of the stories is always uncertain, we don’t have a written ending and anything can happen. In this case, the end is open because in order for the bride to have the surgery she needs (to remove a 6-inch tumor she has in her stomach), she must lose weight and, as long as she doesn’t, she cannot work. So we decided to end the story in an open way, because soon we will have a chapter where we will update all the stories and each of the couples from Contra Viento y Marea. It will be at that time that the public, months later, will learn all about what has happened in the lives of these brides, ”said Marianao Gallardo, executive producer of“ Contra Viento y Marea ”.
