TV presenter Einat Erlich, who revealed last month she was diagnosed with brain cancer, shared an update on her condition with Instagram followers on Saturday. After completing her first two weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatments at Ichilov Hospital, Erlich described her new daily routine, physical challenges, and how she maintains her spirits.
"I finished the first two weeks of treatments. Radiation, chemo. The whole shebang. And knock on wood, I'm doing well. Everything is fine," Erlich wrote. She acknowledged the fear associated with her diagnosis but emphasized the power of love. Despite experiencing nausea, fatigue, and frequent hospital visits, she is focused on building a joyful routine surrounded by loved ones.
Erlich detailed small rituals that accompany her radiation sessions, which require a special mask for precision. These include a familiar blanket, a blue duck toy, a Book of Psalms, and a mood-lifting playlist. She also makes an effort to spend time with her daughters, Libi and Mia, her partner Johnny, and close friends.
Reflecting on her body after the illness, Erlich expressed self-appreciation, stating, "I feel strong and powerful. Inside and out. I love myself. Finally." She had previously revealed her diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive malignant brain tumor, and a successful surgery to remove it at Ichilov Hospital in September.
Earlier this month, Erlich also discussed losing a third of her hair due to the surgery, where electrode adhesive got tangled. She approached this with humor, prioritizing more important matters over appearance. She concluded her latest post by thanking the Ichilov medical team for their compassion and ended with the defiant phrase, "F*** statistics."
