aleXsandro Palombo. FUCK YOU CANCER


Dear friends,

as per my holiday schedule following my first operation against the tumor yesterday morning at 10:00 am I once again entered the operating theatre in order to undergo another operation, this time a vital transplant... I serenely faced yet another  "piece of cake" in the hands of an amazing team. At about  8.00 pm I was returned to my room in what I can now consider my new home seeing as I will probably have to stay here quite a while!
After the operation I was kept a few hours under observation in the intensive therapy room; once it was time to go back to my room I was joined by a nurse whose job it is to push the patients on the hospital bed. From the accent I understood he was of Sicilian origins, but from the way he would not shut up I also understood he was a geat pain in the ass, a real madman... a blabbermouth... a great blabbermouth...
My brain felt like it was about to explode, I had terrible pain everywhere, endless nausea, I was unable to speak, holy shit I felt awful, I felt like I was dying and my only desire was silence, quiet, and instead no, fucking hell, the crazy nurse kept talking, ceaselessly, bombarding me with questions which I was unable to answer, but undaunted he just went on.
What's your job? I did not answer. I do this job from morning to night, I break my bones and get paid shit. But I'm sure your job is better than mine... ? And still I did not answer. With what I earn I'm out of money by mid month, I work and work for nothing... You can talk, don't worry, if you don't feel well just say so, don't be afraid to ask, I'm here... also to help you. And still I would not answer. Today was a bad day, did you see how busy it was? And still I would not answer... It's always hectic here, it  drives you mad, but where do you work? And still I would not answer... Then he bumped into a colleague who asked him "What happened to his one?" (refering to me) ... And he answered "He underwent a long and complicated operation "... and I thought to myself "Fuck, fuck, fuck! I much prefer the tumor to this great pain in the ass!"
Fuck you cancer!
