This Sunday the second chapter of the new season of ?? Contra Vent i Marea ??, where we learned the story of Nathalie and Chary, two sisters who made a very special promise to their father, who had just been diagnosed with aggressive cancer: they would marry their respective boyfriends at the same time, for him to fulfill the dream of taking his two daughters to the altar ?? Sadly, fate snatched them from their father earlier than expected and they were unable to fulfill this great longing.
But the dream of getting married came back only a month later, after Nathalie, the older sister, received news that changed her life completely: a tumor of almost 17 centimeters was growing in her womb ?? Doctors diagnosed him with stage 4 cancer. Time began to run against him and so his sister Chary, promised him that they would fulfill this dream before it was too late.
Was that how the team of ?? Against Wind and Tide ?? he undertook an epic task for these two sisters to fulfill their promise to arrive at the altar together and, to fulfill it, he organized a spectacular double marriage order, in Farellones, where to the rhythm of Nicolás Àlbers and Carolina Soto, the bride and groom arrived in surprise to offer their hand to their respective brides. And after culminating this exciting moment with a helicopter ride through Santiago.
But not everything was smiles, as Pancho Saavedra took Nathalie where Dr. Rubén Urrejola, a renowned oncologist, who treated her to resolve doubts and to confirm to our girlfriend that the only alternative for her to stay alive is to undergo a complex operation of more than 15 hours, where they will have to remove her tumor and all organs that are engaged. And for that you will have to lose weight to be a risk patient.
?? You know what infuriates me, is the lack of answers and the lack of clarity towards patients. It can’t be that because it has come down to our program, it can’t be that because we take her to a doctor for a second opinion, we are finding out about this super raw reality. How can it be that three years ago he was not given the result of a biopsy after his operation? What are we talking about ???, were the words of an indignant Pancho Saavedra.
That’s why the Channel 13 driver, along with the two sisters, went to the hospital where they operated on Nathalie in 2017, to look for answers after not receiving the biopsy exams. It was in this place where Pancho Saavedra had a tense confrontation with the hospital authorities who finally apologized to the bride of this chapter and promised to review all the documents again.
Towards the end, ?? Against Wind and Tide ?? celebrated the first double marriage in program history alongside Nathalie and Chardy, who arrived at the altar together. Then, in one of the most touching moments of the episode, the two sisters went to the cemetery to visit their late father and show him that their dream had come true.
After a few weeks, Pancho Saavedra reunited with the sisters to ask Nathalie how she was doing in her weight loss process, but she didn’t get a very auspicious answer. That’s why the team decided to help her with a personal trainer and enrolling in a gym so she can achieve the goal and thus undergo the urgent operation she needs to perform.
?? The end of each of the stories is always uncertain, we don’t have a written ending and anything can happen. In this case, the end is open because the bride, in order to undergo the operation she needs (to remove a 17-centimeter tumor she has in her stomach) must lose weight and, as long as she does not, they can not to operate. Then we decided to finish the story openly because we will soon have a chapter where we will make updates of all the stories and of each of the pairs of Contra Vent and Marea. Will it be on this occasion when the public, months later, was able to find out everything that happened in the lives of these brides ??, Marianao Gallardo, executive producer of ?? Against Wind and Tide ??.
