Newcastle winger Jonas Gutierrez has revealed he is having treatment
after being diagnosed with testicular cancer in his native Argentina.
Gutierrez
said he has undergone chemotherapy, after having surgery following the
discovery of a tumour, which was first noticed last year.
This is really sad,he is a guy a have watched for a longtime now,starting from his La Liga days.
Mr Jonas we at Thegoalmac wishes you quick recovery,you can definitely win this match against Cancer,yes you can,continue to see what he told reporters...
The 33-year-old told Argentine TV show "Indirecto" on TyC Sports:
"When I was told I had cancer, I went home in tears. In May 2013, I felt
very tough pains on my testicle. After some wrong diagnosis, an
ultrasound detected the tumour.
"I came here and I assumed the
costs despite having a contract with Newcastle. Money is not important.
What is important is my health. I had to start chemotherapy."
Gutierrez,
who has made 22 appearances for his country, said several national
colleagues, including close friend and Newcastle teammate Fabricio
Coloccini, have been a great help.
He added: "This is the most
difficult match I've ever played. You start thinking about important
things when you have problems like this one. Some guys like [Gabriel]
Heinze gave me strength.
"After surgery, I told [Ezequiel]
Lavezzi, [Martin] Demichelis and Coloccini, who is very close to me.
We've played together at Newcastle for six years and he calls me. He is
almost a member of my family.
"I decided to reveal all this
because I think this is a difficult moment, but there is nothing wrong
with this. These things may help other people."
Gutierrez joined
Newcastle from Mallorca in July 2008 and became a fans' favourite when
he played a starring role in helping the club win the Championship in
his second season in the north-east.
However, he was largely
unused by manager Alan Pardew last season and was allowed to join
Norwich on loan for the second half of last season, where he made his
last league appearance in the Canaries' 1-0 defeat to West Brom in
April.
He took to Twitter to express his gratitude to well-wishers late on Tuesday night.
