(Adnkronos) - Sono oltre 3 milioni e mezzo le persone che convivono con una neoplasia in Italia. Nonostante esista ancora l’equazione semantica ‘tumore uguale male incurabile’, oltre il 50% dei pazienti riuscirà a guarire o quanto meno a vivere per molti anni con una malattia che diventa cronica. Rigenerarsi, trovare un nuovo equilibrio durante la malattia e soprattutto, tornare a vivere è possibile: se ne parla nel libro scritto a quattro mani dalla

00:00There are more than 3.5 million people who live with a neoplasia in Italy.
00:09Those who receive a tumor diagnosis live a trauma.
00:12The balance, until that moment solid ground, breaks.
00:15It is a complex disease that does not concern only one person,
00:18but involves caregivers and friends, and disrupts the family.
00:22But to regenerate, to find a balance during the disease,
00:26and above all to come back to life, is possible.
00:29With this optimistic spirit, Professor Gabriella Pravettoni
00:33and the scientific journalist and director of the Italian Association for Medical Oncology, Mauro Bolvini,
00:39have written The Life Is Now, Amalarsi, Rigenerarsi, Vivere.
00:43This book is aimed at everyone,
00:47and in particular at people who have had an oncological experience
00:53or who are experiencing an oncological experience,
00:57both as patients and as caregivers, as well as friends of people
01:03who have had an oncological experience.
01:07Because it focuses on the importance of living today.
01:12And this is something that each of us should learn and understand
01:17in every moment of life.
01:20A book that can really be useful, even for very young people,
01:26to fully experience the experiences of our existence,
01:30even when these experiences put us to the test with adversities.
01:35Thanks to the cures and treatments available today,
01:38more than 50% of people affected by a tumor will be able to heal
01:43or at least live for many years with a disease that becomes chronic.
01:47And after the time, which we have called the suspended time of the disease,
01:52it is possible to find the resources to go back and make a life project.
01:58So the disease can become an important moment of growth.
02:02It is therefore essential to face it, but to regenerate and return to a life
02:08of professional relationship, relationship with children, relationship with colleagues,
02:13return to a life of normality, because life is now.
