1:32:03
Don't breathe, stop.
1:32:11
Breath.
1:32:17
Stop, don't breathe.
Stop.
1:32:23
Breathe.
1:32:26
During the CAT
to my head
1:32:28
the radiologist looks
at the CAT to my chest
1:32:32
and talks to Silvia and Angelo of it.
1:32:35
He says that, according to him,
I have a sarcoma in my lungs.
1:32:38
They ask him
for what it is and he answers
1:32:41
that it's lung cancer.
1:32:43
He says that, according to him,
there is no cure.
1:32:50
Oh, luckily the radiologist
was wrong.
1:32:55
I was operated two days
after the CAT.
1:32:59
My doctor friend
1:33:00
to whom I had asked
to be present to the operation,
1:33:03
later told me that the surgeon,
looking in a slide
1:33:07
and watching a bit of the stuff
he had just removed from my lungs, said:
1:33:12
..."I bet a testicle that this is
Hodgkin's lymphoma."
1:33:16
"Not both, but a testicle yes".
1:33:19
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a tumour
to the lymphatic system,
1:33:23
a curable tumour.
1:33:26
Then, one day, at home, I skim through
"The Garzanti Medical Encyclopaedia",
1:33:33
and checking "lymphoma", I read:
1:33:37
...symptoms are: itch,
loss of weight, perspiration.
1:33:43
However I learned something
from this story, maybe two.
1:33:50
The first is that physicians know
how to speak but they don't know how to listen..
1:33:58
...and now I am surrounded by all
the useless medicine that I have bought.
