Although she ended up not sharing the same fate as Vânia, NFL legend Tom Brady's mom, Galynn Patricia Brady, also battled cancer. Years ago, Tom spoke about his mom's illness and her managing to support him in person at his historic SuperBowl winning game in the 2016 season.

On this, he spoke about how Galynn's treatments were wrapping up during this time and said that in addition to the ending of the season, it signified an end to the difficult time she and their family were going through. According to the news channel that reported on the story, Tom also credited his victory to Galynn being there. Gisele and other loved ones also joined her.

Several days before Vânia's demise, an article profiling her loving daughter, Gisele, briefly mentioning the model's parents, was published. The piece noted how Gisele, having watched her parents deal with their health issues, had been motivated to take her health seriously.

Gisele discussed the importance of health as a whole. She disclosed, "I want to live the longest feeling the best I can, but for me to achieve this, I have to make decisions today."

For Gisele Bündchen, being healthy is incomparable to material entities like money. She said that while one can possess all the money in the world to purchase one's heart's desire, repurchasing one's health is not an option.
