Overview
- Plevisani spoke on Magaly Medina’s podcast on Thursday and gave a first‑person account of her eldest daughter Camila’s illness and death, renewing public attention to a long‑running family loss.
- She said Camila first complained of headaches at age seven, an MRI found a brain lesion, doctors diagnosed cancer, and treatment including chemotherapy lasted about three years before Camila died in 2003.
- Plevisani told the program she traveled for surgery to Johns Hopkins and that a leading neurosurgeon there confirmed the cancer, a detail reported by some outlets that comes from her own account.
- She described baking as the refuge that kept her going during grief, saying she would cook at night, feed dozens of people and keep a promise to her other children to stay present for them.
- The interview has been picked up by Peruvian media because Plevisani is a high‑profile pastry chef, entrepreneur and charity ambassador, and no new medical or legal developments were reported in the coverage.
