TV presenter Einat Erlich, who revealed her brain cancer diagnosis last month, 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 her efforts to maintain a positive outlook.
"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 strength found in 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, including a special mask for precision, a familiar blanket, a blue duck toy, and a Book of Psalms. She also listens to a mood-lifting playlist after each treatment. She spends her afternoons with her daughters, Libi and Mia, her partner Johnny, and close friends, choosing activities that make her feel good.
Reflecting on her body image 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, she shared her experience of losing a third of her hair due to electrode adhesive from the surgery, treating the situation with humor and prioritizing more important matters.
Erlich concluded her post by thanking the medical staff at Ichilov for their compassion. She ended with the defiant phrase, "F*** statistics," referencing a previous post where she joked about having fewer bikini photos on her page after her diagnosis.
