NEOPLASTIA MALIGNA, EVOLUÇÃO! (MALIGNANT NEOPLASTY)

 

"If everyone brings their piece of paradise, we make a paradise"

During the short period of hospitalization in St. James I had all the support of all the staff who were fantastic with me, from prevention and diagnosis to treatments and palliative care. I had the support of nurse Sophie, 32 years old, working in the field of oncology, an excellent person, a good professional who, as far as possible, has tried to relieve my pain as well as my physical and emotional suffering, ensuring a close therapeutic relationship, I had confidences with her about my life and, on that day, tears ended up sliding down my face, she was sad, cleaned my eyes and kissed my cheek saying: I'm liking you, Fernando. For a week we walked in the gardens and talked, we talked a lot! Two days ago, Sophie told me that she really liked living with me, and even getting married, that she was single, had no commitments with anyone in her life and her house was very big for both of us! And that she loved me very much!

I've been thinking about everything, I'm not doing it correctly with Sophie, I'm 74 and you're 32 years old, at my daughter's age... I won't live long and... I wouldn't like to leave a widow... I wish you all the best in your life, I appreciate all the support, affection and love! We ended everything as good friends.

Today at the consultation the doctor informed me of the excellent results, they told me that malignant neoplasty, that is, tumour no longer has the ability to multiply and metastasize to other parts of the body, the top of the head has decreased a lot in size, I really improved!

Thus, I will no longer undergo further treatments, including chemotherapy, they advised me to stay with my family, rest and live life peacefully, however, I should continue with regular appointments at the IPO, St James's Hospital sent a detailed report today, in the meantime... they discharged me for Friday, I still travel to Lisbon, in the late afternoon.
