Cancer made me a completely different person. Whenever I started treatment, I thought I would stay the same, but now I understand that this disease kills us and builds again, then again kills, and again we are reborn, albeit quite different people. I remember what I was like a year ago. I thought that my main qualities were indulgence and courage. And now I understand that behind this I was only hiding from reality. In fact, it was necessary not to be afraid, but simply to break and change yourself. It was necessary to rethink a lot and accept what is happening to you. "
