Eleonora Giorgi talks about cancer and the value of time
Eleonora Giorgi opens up about her battle with cancer in a lengthy interview with Vanity Fair. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma led her to undergo surgery, undergo chemotherapy, and evaluate an experimental therapy in America. The illness is not experienced in the same way by everyone. This is a central point to never forget. For Giorgi, the tumor gave a different point of viewa new point of view. And, although faced with the elements, he chose to see the bright side of things.
“Anyone who discovers that they are ill experiences, above all, incredible loneliness. Talking about it was liberating for me. It wasn’t “vanity.” I grew up with the public. I was nineteen when my career began. But that’s not all: talking about it was a way of shedding even more light on the subject. remaining time value. A monthA year, A life: It doesn’t matter. What matters is what I want now: to be with my children, with my family, with my loved ones. I sheltered myself in this cocoon of love.” And in this same cocoon, there is much more life than in his previous existence.
love for family
“There is a time for everything: today has finally arrived to capture all the love that surrounds me.” Eleonora Giorgi imagines the future – the time she has left – as full of love. “If I surviveI can’t say if I’ll get better, but if things get a little better, I don’t want to go back to my old life. I want to spend all the time I have left like this, with the love I have finally found. I was tired of being Giorgi. I prefer to babysit to my grandson.”
During his cancer journey, he met many people: Professor Santoro, chief oncologist at Humanitas in Milan, and even oncologist Luca Marchetti and his father. Surgeons, doctors, nurses, but also people, young patients, around their thirties. “I am seventy years old, I had my lifeand what a life! What can I complain about? But if I was thirty, I’d be so pissed.”
Her life is spent surrounded by those close to her and above all she is enriched by the many moments with her grandson Gabriele: “When I play with my grandson, he He doesn’t even realize I’m sick. So I won’t tell him.” She only has one request: “I asked that if I die, I don’t want them to tell them that I left. He would experience that as a betrayal. J “I would like them to tell him that I have become an angel and that I will always watch over him.” His consciousness is now new and different. Dictated by the moment he lives, but also by the immense desire to live in time, in the “here and now”.
