I take this opportunity to thank all the doctors, doctors and nurses in the hematology department of Ravenna, where I have been treated very well and which is an excellence in Italy, together with the precious Ail and Ior volunteers. And thank God I was born in a country where health is public … “.
“Now – adds – I have yet to fully recover physically: in April of this year I performed the stem cell autotransplantation, which was the last act of therapy. I am gradually returning to leading a normal life. For four years I have lived as an invalid and also psychologically I have to get used to life, since I have just recovered and it still doesn’t seem true to me. “
