Simony, former member of Balão Mágico, shared the good news in a video posted on social media on Tuesday, March 31. Alongside oncologist Fernando Maluf, she celebrated the PET scan results indicating complete remission.
"Hello, I'm Fernando Maluf, oncologist. [...] Simony's PET scan [...] shows complete remission. What does that mean? Complete disappearance of the tumor," the doctor stated in the video, noting the treatment involving immunotherapy sessions.
Visibly emotional, Simony recalled being told her case was incurable. "So if you're watching us today, lying in bed saying you have no salvation, you do," the singer said, encouraging those battling the disease.
