Eva La Trailera actress Edith González revealed that she has cancer. She took to Instagram to share the news that she ended at the hospital due to strong pain in her abdomen. According to her post, she had surgery to remove cancerous tissues, luckily they were completely removed.
“As part of the process, I will have to receive treatment for a couple of months. I am strong, full of life and working,” she says. “I only hope that you join me with your love and respect. I’m grateful for your interest in my health and I will continue to keep you informed in my social media pages and I won’t give any more information on the subject.”

González did not reveal what kind of cancer she has, but based on the location and symptoms, she can have a variety of different types of cancers. Soft tissue sarcomas for example grow in the back of the abdomen and the tumors can cause pain. According to the American Cancer Society, these can grow large enough for the tumor to be felt in the abdomen.
If you have any of the following problems, see a doctor right away:
- A new lump or a lump that is growing (anywhere on your body)
- Abdominal pain that is getting worse
- Blood in your stool or vomit
- Black, tarry stools (when bleeding happens in the stomach or bowels, the blood can turn black as it is digested, and it may make the stool very black and sticky)
These symptoms are more often caused by things other than sarcoma, but they still need to be checked out by a doctor. We’re so glad that González caught the cancer early and we wish her a speedy recovery.
