Overview
- Salas announced in early June that she will soon undergo a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy on the advice of her oncologist as a preventive step against a return of hormone-related breast cancer.
- The surgery had been scheduled and postponed at least twice for health reasons, and her medical team now says she has the necessary stability to proceed.
- She will keep her uterus because doctors say the hormones most linked to her cancer are produced in the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
- Salas remains on a regimen of monthly medication and injections with monthly blood tests to monitor liver function and immune cell counts, and some common medicines are restricted because they can lower her defenses.
- Salas cited her son and husband as central reasons for continuing treatment, thanked the public for support, and is slated to appear at a June 20 show at the Gran Teatro Nacional as she prepares for the procedure.
