Daniel Aminati’s wife Patrice has metastases in her lungs. Now she reports on the painful cancer treatment in an emotional post.
Moderator Daniel Aminati announced in mid-March that his wife Patrice would continue to fight cancer. Metastases had formed in the lungs. At the beginning of 2023, Patrice Aminati was diagnosed with black skin cancer, and in the fall it was initially said that she was free of metastases. In an Instagram post, Patrice Aminati spoke out again for the first time.
With a series of pictures that show her visibly exhausted in the hospital and with her family, she thanks them for the well-wishes and writes: “I’m sorry that I can’t answer straight away. I wasn’t and am not able to do that today.” Patrice Aminati further adds: “Those affected know that if a cancer patient doesn’t come forward, if he is quiet, if he says nothing, then it’s bad. I’ve had a difficult time behind me. With pain that was unimaginable for me.” To see all photos, you must click to the right on the Instagram post.
She actually thought she was healthy and didn’t notice “that metastases had developed in the head and lungs.” The “(pain) problem” is not the cancer, because you can’t feel it “at my stage of the disease (yet), but the therapy, from radiation to immunotherapy,” explains the 29-year-old.
“Horrible side effects”
“I am grateful for the new, Nobel Prize-winning therapy. Because I want to live.” However, she was not aware of the “horrific side effects that this therapy would entail”. “There is nothing to sugarcoat here. I know there are those affected who feel the same way as me – others are a little more lucky. I lost my hearing and sight because of the pain. Every possible effort was made to stabilize me. There are no words for that.”
Once the side effects have subsided, therapy will continue. “When I say I’m grateful for it, it’s true. Because I want to live. Life has never seemed so precious to me, so worth living.” At the same time, she is scared and afraid of the infusions, “which no longer want to go into a vein. It’s as if the body, soaked in medication, is defending itself.” Patrice Aminati sends the message to all those affected and their relatives: “Stay strong, be courageous, stick together. Just like us: my Daniel, my family and above all my mom.”
“You are so strong”
Numerous well wishes and kind words were collected in the comment column of the post. “I can hardly imagine how hard this fight must be, but you will do it!” wrote one user. “I wish you so much that you get your old life back soon. Without pain, worries and fears,” said another person. Another comment reads: “You are so strong and doing so well.”
Prominent companions also spoke up. “I wish you all the strength in the world with all my heart,” wrote influencer Sophia Thiel. Moderator Rebecca Mir commented: “I’m sending you a lot of strength and love.”
Daniel and Patrice Aminati met in 2018 and married civilly in April 2022. Their daughter was born in August 2022.
