“I am not my tumor”

She wore a hope green dress for her chat with Silvia Toffanin. Carolina Marconi today she returned as a winner in the living room of Very true, where she wanted to tell about her last year, the battle against cancer, the joys and the darkest moments of this journey which, despite everything, has given her new awareness.

Carolina Marconi, her last year between battles and victories

Carolina Marconi has been able to tell with great sensitivity in this last year his battle with cancer. His Instagram profile has become a kind of travel diary in which to put on paper every emotion related to her fight against cancer, finding the support of others and giving strength to many who, like her, were facing the disease.

Now that the worst is over Marconi is regaining possession of her life, as she said, beaming and smiling, in Silvia Toffanin’s living room: “Today I am thrilled, I am happy and I am fine“. A state of mind that is impossible not to notice: with sparkling eyes, Carolina retraced her last year, a “troubled” period as she herself defined it, the one that saw her fight with nails and teeth for her life. Just on April 6 a year ago she in fact underwent an operation to remove that malignant and aggressive lump discovered by chance, when she was performing the preliminary examinations for the assisted fertilization procedure.

The news came like a bolt from the blue, but never thought of giving up: “I don’t even know where I got the strength from, in some situations it just comes. I am very emotional, but I fight and always keep going, ”she said. For a few months she has completed the course of chemotherapy: looking back, she said she was amazed at his path, at the courage he had to face such a difficult battle: “At the Carolina one year ago I would say not to be afraid, that everything will be fine. Of course, I have changed, or rather, I have remained the same as before but with a different awareness of life. I enjoy the moment: life is now“.

Carolina Marconi, the failed adoption and the bitterness

Although Carolina is happy to have left all the suffering related to the disease behind, there is still a wish she would like to fulfill, to become a mother. She managed to freeze only one egg, but before resorting to assisted fertilization she assisted her in her dream would be to adopt a childwhich unfortunately, as a former cancer patient, has not yet been granted.

“With Alessandro we immediately thought about adopting a child. We also inquired about the rented uterus, but I prefer to give a new life to a child who deserves it – she explained-. Unfortunately, however, I have to wait because I had a tumor, we are talking about 5 years. It is absurd: those who have had cancer cannot apply for a mortgage, a loan, cannot adopt a child. There is discrimination ”.

The showgirl, however, has no intention of giving up: it is ready to fight for the right to oncological oblivion, which could allow those cured of cancer (as already happens in other European countries) to look to the future with serenity, without the shadow of the disease. “I am not my tumor, we all deserve to have a family. Today I am healthy! ”She said.

And she said she was hopeful for the future: “Alessandro and I have a lot of love to give: I hope to be able to adopt a child, and then calmly make one of my own”.
