In the world of Latin American television, few names inspire as much respect and affection as that of Juan Carlos Troncoso, a screenwriter who has dedicated his life to telling stories that touch the soul. A disciple of the unforgettable Fernando Gaitán, creator of “Yo soy Betty, la fea” (Ugly Betty), Troncoso has been the mind behind productions that have resonated with millions of viewers in Colombia and around the world.
However, the most powerful story he has ever written wasn’t born on a film set, but in a hospital room. An aggressive cancer, a prolonged coma, and an inexplicable medical miracle led him to confront death head-on… and to rewrite his own life.
From Screenplays to the Edge of Life
In early 2022, an intense headache and episodes of incoherence raised alarm bells. Within days, the diagnosis was devastating: Hodgkin’s lymphoma with brain masses.
Troncoso, the same man who had created the worlds of Pa’ Quererte, Pobres Rico, and En los tacones de Eva, found himself trapped in the most uncertain script of all: his own.
He suffered several seizures and was placed in a medically induced coma. Doctors informed his wife, Dany Daza, that the outlook was grim. “They told us that if he survived, he would be blind, deaf, or suffer irreversible damage. That’s when they activated the end-of-life protocol,” she recalls calmly.
But life, like its best scripts, still had a plot twist to reveal.
The unwritten miracle
While family and friends mourned his passing in advance, more than one hundred people joined in a prayer chain.
And then, the impossible happened.
“The next day I went to the ICU alone, spoke to him as always—‘hello, Juan’—and he lifted one leg and his arms,” Dany recounts.
It was a moment that defied all medical logic. The man who had been declared practically without hope came back to life.
Troncoso remembers nothing of those days, but his family describes it as an awakening worthy of a movie. “After a coma, you are reborn. It’s learning to speak, to eat, to exist again,” he says, with a calmness that touches the heart.
The Warrior’s Return
The recovery process was long and challenging. With intensive therapies, love, and faith, Juan Carlos slowly regained his mobility, his voice, and his lucidity.
But the story didn’t end there: in October 2023, the cancer returned. This time, he faced it not with fear, but with determination.
After further chemotherapy and an autologous bone marrow transplant, Troncoso was reborn once again.
“Now I believe in God more than ever. I’m not a churchman, but I am a man of faith. I speak with Him every day and I thank Him for this second chance.”
Today, he continues his rehabilitation, determined to leave the walker behind and fully regain his independence. He says that Dany, his wife; his son, Juan Camilo; his sisters, Gladys and Lucía; and his great friends, Elkim Ospina and Fernán Rivera, have been his true strength.
The Screenwriter and the Idol
Troncoso’s career reached its peak when he was chosen by Fernando Gaitán to write Diomedes, el cacique de la junta (Diomedes, the Chief of the Junta).
To do so, he lived with Diomedes Díaz for months, accompanying him on tours, recordings, and during personal moments. “We became friends; he told me stories that no one else knew. I saw him laugh, cry, doubt. I saw the human being behind the idol.”
After the singer’s death, Troncoso and his team completed the telenovela, which became the most-watched in Colombia in 2015, bringing entire cities to a standstill during its broadcast.
“That connection with Diomedes changed me. He taught me that behind every star there is fragility, humanity, truth. And now, I’m experiencing that firsthand.”
A New Mission
Today, Troncoso isn’t seeking fame or ratings. His focus is on something deeper: life itself.
“I believe God told me: behave better, live life, but truly live it. And that’s what I do every day.”
While continuing his recovery, he’s working on a new audiovisual project where he plans to tell his story, “The Movie of My Life,” with an intimate, testimonial, and profoundly human tone.
More than a series or a biography, it will be a message of faith, resilience, and love for life.
The Legacy Continues
For many, Juan Carlos Troncoso is an example of resilience. For others, it’s a living testament to the fact that faith can rewrite any destiny.
For him, it’s simply a new opportunity to continue telling stories, but this time, with his heart.
“I survived to write, but also to give thanks. I no longer want to invent characters; I want to show life as it is: imperfect, hard, and yet, wonderful.”
