February 4th - World Cancer Day!

In September 2015, I received this diagnosis - cancer!!🥲

It's terrible - for a few moments everything around you falls apart!

At that moment ..you don't hear anything anymore...you don't see anything anymore..you don't know where to turn or what to do..you are lost...you stare into space..and although your loved ones..doctors...try to explain to you...it's hard to believe..that anything can still be done for you...because for many of us the word cancer means ...the end!!

Only those who haven't gone through something like that ..through that moment ..don't truly understand what it means to receive this diagnosis ..from a doctor.

On this day...although very sad for many of us, I would like to thank the good God, my wonderful family who was and is by my side and did not let me fall, the medical staff who encouraged me and explained to me what this diagnosis means and what I have to do, the true friends and patient associations who fight for us chronic patients and who represent our problems to the authorities.

I sincerely wish you much strength and health!
