Here we tell you everything Marilé Andrade said about Yolanda's health and what the disease she suffers from consists of.
Yolanda Andrade has already purchased a niche in the Basilica of Guadalupe
In an interview with the press, the Bandamax host revealed that Yolanda Andrade acquired a niche in the Basilica of Guadalupe for her ashes. She also shared that she bought other spaces for her mother, although she wishes for her remains to stay in Culiacán, where the family is originally from.
"Honestly, I don't get too involved in those topics, they are very delicate. I often put off dealing with many things. She has her niche, there at the basilica. She bought a niche there. Well, a few, where she wants her to be, and maybe my mom, but my mom wants to stay there in Culiacán with my grandmother."
Marilé added that she prefers not to delve into those topics when her sister mentions them.
"But those topics about wills or niches, honestly, I just brush them off and don't get into details."
Marilé Andrade provides an update on Yolanda's health status
Marilé Andrade shared that her sister is going through ups and downs derived from the disease, although she assured that, all things considered, she is doing well.
"She has ups and downs regarding body discomfort. Sometimes she gets headaches, or rather fatigue, sometimes not headaches. But she is hanging in there."
How the family is facing Yolanda Andrade's illness
Yolanda's sister also shared that the entire family has learned to respect the host's decisions and to encourage her to enjoy every moment.
"She has several things coming up like family trips and that kind of stuff. What I tell her is: let's do everything you want. If you think this is going to be your last Christmas or your last cheese-stuffed pepper, enjoy it. We have learned to respect everything: when she wakes up more irritable, when she is in a good mood, when she wants to go for a walk. This has been a brutal learning experience; an intensive course on being patient, being more loving, and being more empathetic."
What is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)?
According to MedlinePlus, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that affects the neurons in the brain, the brainstem, and the spinal cord that are responsible for controlling voluntary movements.
It currently has no cure and causes a progressive loss of muscle strength and coordination, symptoms that worsen over time.
