“I never gave up on anything, no matter what it was,” confessed Maria Polyzou.
Maria Polyzou spoke from the heart about the battle she courageously fought with cancer when she was invited to Studio 4, on Friday afternoon, to Nancy Zampetoglou and Thanasis Anagnostopoulos on ERT.
“In this picture from the hospital I am after chemotherapy, just before Christmas. You had to manage all this festive atmosphere and you had to come in and out on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve and naturally deal with exhaustion.
Great exhaustion but continued to train and run normally. I had the physical endurance and ran up to 20 kilometers the day after chemotherapy. I never gave up on anything, no matter what it was,” explained the well-known champion at first.
“With my family, there was a lot of love, although I didn’t want to spoil this child’s freedom. I remember one time he said to me “mom, should I go out at night?
Am I not being a good daughter if I go out when you just came from the hospital?” .Terrible? “No, my child, of course you will get out! Since I’m fine” I answered her”.
“Whatever comes your way in life, you have to find a way to overcome it and not give up on a difficulty because you won’t get anywhere. Stay firm in your goal. It is very important to always know where you are walking, where you are going and what you want to conquer.
If along the way a problem is encountered or someone questions you, let them. We don’t all have the same horizons.
You have to have a very good concentration on your goal, work hard and leave nothing to chance,” said Maria Polyzou in the ERT magazine.
