Sergio Peris-Mencheta Instagram – I’ve always gotten the good things in life, and I’ve always felt guilty of it, to be honest. It’s a really annoying feeling of not-deserving, that has been with me since my first call up to the Spanish Rugby National Team, somewhere around 1991, and has never left me.  I’ve worked on TV all over the world. Most times playing lead, heroic, larger than life characters. So many times, I’ve galloped yelling “Ahhhhh!!!!”, wielding a sword and dressed as a warrior, exactly how I dreamed I would as a child.  I’ve worked on film in different languages, opposite people that until then, for me, only existed in a BETAMAX tape that I would rent from “Acuario”, my neighborhood’s video club.  I’ve won, and hosted, competitions, and I’ve worked with the most brilliant theater minds, playing fascinating characters. I’ve directed, I’ve created, I’ve told stories I needed to tell while on board of my “Barco Pirata”.  I’ve played a lot, and although I’ve lost, I win more in general, with the right amount of luck always by mi side, along with that guilty feeling.  And if professionally I’ve done well, in my personal realm, life has always rewarded me with only the best company. Starting with our Marta, Rio, Olmo, Senda (our dog) and me team. The adventures, life changes, trips, projects in common. WHAT A TEAM…19 and a half years later, I’m still madly in love with Marta, that every day makes me feel wanted and loved.  And my friends, teachers, my Mamuska and Yonyon… … All this, just to say that this time, the dice didn’t roll my way. I’m knee deep in chemotherapy treatment and waiting for a later bone marrow transplant. I got dealt a different hand this time. I’m in a place where only those that have been there know about. I feel vulnerable, terrified and small like never before, and for the last few months, taking stock of each step i take in this earth. I am aware that I don’t control this hand. I know life takes the reins, and there’s a part there where all I can do is trust and go with the flow.  But my pockets are full of dice, that I rub over and over. I’ve always been a sixes kind of man and not about to stop now. (Traducción en español en comentarios) City Of Hope Hospital
