Journalist Raúl de Molina shared further details about Don Omar's health condition on Univision's program El Gordo y La Flaca following the Puerto Rican artist's cancer surgery. It was on Monday when the famous reggaeton star announced through a post that he had cancer. A day later, through the same platform, he revealed that the surgery had been successful and that he was recovering well.
However, the Cuban journalist now disclosed more specifics about the operation. According to the show's host, Don Omar had a kidney removed due to the cancerous tumor. "Yesterday, I felt immense relief when Don Omar called to inform me that his surgery had gone well. The procedure lasted four hours, and he was already feeling better. Though his voice still bore the effects of anesthesia, his joy was palpable when he said, 'They removed my cancer,'" relayed De Molina, who also had a kidney removed nearly two decades ago after a cancer diagnosis.
"Talking with Don Omar, I learned that his left kidney was removed, while mine was the right one. William, I wish you all the best. Now we share something in common; we both have just one kidney," added De Molina.
Following the positive news about Don Omar's health, fans, colleagues, and fellow musicians have been sending their best wishes and messages of strength for his recovery. "Today, I woke up cancer-free and grateful. Thank you for your well-wishes, prayers, and thousands of messages.
