“I was operated on another breast in Madrid, I’ve had radiotherapy and now I’m fighting for my life,” she said to a Portuguese TV station.
To construct a cancer center at the hospital where his mother was saved, Hospital Central in Funchal, former Manchester United player Ronaldo contributed £100,000 ($126,000) in 2009. He generously donated to the Portuguese Association for Cancer in his home province of Madeira.

Maria made one wish with her son Cristiano Ronaldo. She said, “I already told him: ‘Son before I die I want to see you playing for Sporting again. It didn’t happen this year but perhaps it will next year, but if it’s not him it will be Cristianinho. At his age, he plays better than his father, when he was 12, Cristiano didn’t have a trainer but today he’s his son’s teacher.”
Speaking to the Portuguese publication Nova Gente, Dolores disclosed that she had previously discussed a possible reunion with Ronaldo at Sporting CP, the team where the former Real Madrid player started his rise to stardom. It remains to be seen whether her son will live up to the wish made by his mother soon.
