Influencer Lito Sousa reveals diagnosis of prostate cancer Influencer Lito Sousa, from the channel "Aviões em Música", revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In a video published on social media, he said that he discovered the disease three months ago and stated that he will have surgery soon. ? Known for producing content about aviation, Lito compared the moment he is facing to a major overhaul of an aircraft. "Every plane, no matter how well designed it is, no matter how well maintained it is, at some point it needs to stop for maintenance. Not because it broke down for good, but because that's how we avoid the worst. We call it a check. There's check A, there's check B, there's check C and there's the Heavy Check, the one in which the aircraft goes out of operation, enters the hangar and is practically dismantled to be completely overhauled. And I'm on my heavy check", he revealed. The influencer said that he performs routine exams, but that the disease had not been previously identified." g1 in 1 Minute: Prostate cancer, the disease that killed Scott Adams, is the most common tumor among men in Brazil According to Lito, the investigation began after changes in exams and symptoms of fatigue. The influencer also revealed that the disease he has is of an intermediate level of aggressiveness. "It's been three months since I found out, I had to undergo two biopsies, one in the prostate and one in the rectum. The one in the rectum was found to be a non-malignant tumor, but the one in the prostate, unfortunately, tested positive in several fragments for adenocarcinoma," he said. Lito will soon undergo surgery. After the diagnosis, he underwent a PET Scan to investigate whether there were other foci of the disease. "I did it and activity appeared in the lung, the right lung. And then I'll still need to investigate by doing another biopsy, this time on the lung." Lito said that the diagnosis scared him. "I was made up, I confess, the name scares me and with it comes a package with possibilities of complications that can occur due to surgery."

I can't even type properly. I've been a neurologist, an orthopedist, I've had more than five MRIs of everything you can imagine, but this case of my arm is so specific that I still don't have a definitive diagnosis and it doesn't hurt. I only know what it isn't", he revealed. According to him, the condition has affected his routine. "Mila and I decided that I won't drive much until I resolve this part of this left arm. And I love driving, I love my freedom." Throughout the video, the influencer stated that he intends to face the treatment with the same discipline he learned in aviation. "So, aviation is not synonymous with disaster, it is synonymous with procedure. You follow the checklist, stay calm, communicate with the tower, you and land the plane. So that's what I'm going to do. I will follow my checklist. I'm going to treat it, I'm going to investigate and I'm going to land safely and eliminate this problem," he said. At the end of the report, Lito appealed to the men to keep their exams up to date. "Don't forget to do routine exams. If you are a man, be sure to see a urologist after the age of 40. You can save your life when you find it early, like I found it."
