unfortunately as the days went by Gina
began to feel different and after a
month she was already suffering from a
burning sensation in different parts of
her body
I was in the ER for five or six nights a
row and the symptoms were getting worse
the burning sensation kept spreading
through my body Gina said
those ER visits were the first of many
for the couple due to the excruciating
pain the woman was experiencing
when I was arrived they asked me what
was wrong and I told them that I didn’t
know that I didn’t feel well that I felt
like I was burning as if I had acid
inside my body she explained
thus five long months passed in which
Gina’s life underwent a radical change
reaching the point of feeling so bad
that she could not take care of herself
the doctors ran various tests to find a
diagnosis from cancer to Parkinson’s and
multiple sclerosis while Gina was also
soaking up information

she then reached a point where
everything indicated the same thing
gadolinium poisoning a toxic substance
used as a contrast medium which was
applied to her before her MRI
Gina confessed that after realizing this
she went to the hospital told the
doctors what she had found and told them
that they should find a way to get that
chemical out of her body as soon as
possible because her life was in danger
Gina’s deteriorating Health caused her
to go through a waking nightmare going
from a very healthy and energetic person
to being bedridden in hospital
yet it was in these trying times that
her husband Chuck paid tribute to the
promise made during her marriage
to be by her side in sickness and in
sickness
the actor decided to leave her career
aside to become the full-time caregiver
for her beloved life partner being with
her in the process of her recovery
