"After metastasis, in 2016, I saw that time needs not only to be stretched, but also extended. I expand and put everything that is important to me into it. I show my feelings, my affections. I never felt this obstacle of talking about what I live. I think that talking is taking another step towards creating a society that sees a person beyond his diagnosis."
