DAYANARA Torres is now cancer-free.
The 1993 Miss Universe made the announcement during a conversation with singer Pops Fernandez on Instagram, recently.
She related, “For a year, I’ve been battling cancer. It was found last year. It was out of the blue. I was working. I was being a judge on a show which is like ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in Spanish, flying every week at the beginning of the year. The next morning, I found out it was cancer…”
“I started treatment for a year and I thank the Lord and everyone for all the prayers. It’s amazing the amount of love and support that I received,” she went on.
“Last week, on Monday, I had my last test to just check if there’s anything kinda like leftover hanging around, and everything was negative,” she added.
But she is to undergo follow up check-ups every three months over the next two years.
Dayanara is hoping to visit the country soon.
“It’s one of those things that’s always at the back of my mind that I have to go back and this crisis happens, and it makes me realize that if you want to do something, do it. As soon as this is over, I definitely need to go back. I miss everybody,” she said.
Dayanara did several films here back in the ‘90s.
She was also among original hosts of Sunday variety show “ASAP.”
