Former Red Devil, Toni Brogno is suffering from liver cancer. In the family, everyone is waiting for the intervention of all hopes to take place before the end of the year.
At the end of November, Dante Brogno announced that he was leaving his position as coach of RAEC Mons “for personal reasons”. A few days later, we learned that his brother and deputy, Toni Brogno, was suffering from liver cancer.
Since then, the top scorer in the history of the Zebras has lived at the bedside of his brother, also a former Red Devil. And this Tuesday, he gave news of his state of health in the columns of The New Gazette.
“It was initially planned to operate on Toni on December 19 to remove half of her liver, the other half being healthy. However, new tests showed that her bilirubin level (editor’s note: product of the degradation of hemoglobin provided by the liver) had fallen sharply.”
For doctors, this is a new solution that has emerged. “This intervention was moved, in order to operate urgently, Monday at the Erasmus hospital, with the aim of placing drains in his liver, orally,” continues Dante Brogno, whose son Loris, 32 years old, is still the striker of RAEC Mons.
“It’s a step before the famous intervention of all hopes planned just before or just after Christmas. At the hospital, I spoke with a man who had a liver transplant a year ago and who is is doing very well. It could also be an option, but everyone is waiting, for the moment, for the intervention that we hope will be decisive,” concluded Dante Brogno.
