It even came for her bosses at RTL unexpectedly: the death of Loretta Schrijver. Did she know what was waiting for her? “She didn’t want to talk about the fact that she was sick.”
The way in which Loretta writer dealt with her returned cancer suggest that she could live with it for a long time. The presenter indicated that she probably had to go to chemotherapy for the rest of her life and she was regularly seen on television until the beginning of this year. In January she suddenly had to cancel recordings of Ranking the Stars.
Unexpected
Yesterday’s message that Loretta died came for many people so very suddenly. “Today it is going fantastic, but that is because of the ambiance and the people around me. I really don’t have the time to think: actually I am sick,” she told RTL just before Christmas, in the decor of Ranking the Stars.
And last September about the fact that she should always be chemo: “Yes, no, it’s the way it is. I can’t do anything about it. Only picking the nice moments.”
“She had to be”
Loretta must have known that the fast went downhill, says Bart Ettekoven. However, according to the show connoisseur, she didn’t want to hang it on the big clock. He tells in Shownieuws That she would have preferred to keep her cancer private at all. “However, she had to, because of course she was indeed suddenly missing during coffee time and that called questions.”
“She had to go outside with it, but I think she would have preferred to hide it deep in her heart. She did not want to talk about the fact that she was sick. You also noticed that if it was mentioned in interviews, she often took a bit like:” it was good “,” it was something small. “
Incurable
Initially, Loretta did not want to know her life expectancy. “The doctors were not allowed to tell what the prognosis was. She just didn’t want to know, because she was afraid that she would live on that.”
RTL boss Peter van der Vorst in Shownieuws: “It also came for us unexpectedly. We naturally knew that Loretta was sick, but she kept it very limited to a small intimate group of how bad the situation was. We were really overwhelmed by this message. Actually, you could say Mrs. RTL. She was there from day one.”
Withdrawn
After the cancellation of Ranking the Stars in January, Loretta stayed under the radar. Peter adds Beau: “The last period she really withdrawn a bit with only a few intimates around her who knew how bad the situation was. Tonight she died in her sleep at 4 am in the hospital.”
Reporter Aran Bade praises her optimism RTL Boulevard: “We all had something like: hey, how is that suddenly that news? She always wanted to take it a bit with a lie, from: it goes well. Even when I spoke to her, she said:” It’s a problem, but it is resolved again. ” She makes it smaller. “
Shocked
It went very quickly, especially at the end, says her former loving Jeroen Pauw. “I was shocked today, because I spoke to Loretta for the last time for the last time and then I asked,” How are you? “, And then she said,” Well, I wasn’t so nice for a few days, but now it’s going again. “
He concludes: “That is exactly what Loretta was. No matter how bad she was, it was always given a positive twist.”
