(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 24 - Italian rapper Fedez on Thursday
confirmed that the operation he had at the San Raffaele Hospital
in Milan on Tuesday was to remove a tumour.
The 32-year-old, one of Italy's most popular musicians,
announced last week that he was seriously ill, but did not say
what the pathology was.
"Last week I discovered that I had a rare neuroendocrine tumour
of the pancreas," Fedez said in an Instagram post with a photo
of him in a hospital gown making the victory sign with his
fingers.
"One of those that, if you don't get it in time, it is not a
nice flat-mate to have inside your body.
"(That is the) reason why I had to have a surgical operation
that lasted six hours to take away part of the pancreas (tumour
included).
"I'm well, two days after the operation, and I can't wait to
return home to my children.
"It'll take a while". (ANSA).
