00:00 I'm afraid you can see traces of something.
00:04 This little tube that runs on my face
00:07 is a tube that is connected to an automatic respirator.
00:12 It allows me to breathe forcefully.
00:16 But it also allows me to be here to talk to you.
00:20 I've taken mesothelioma.
00:24 Mesothelioma is a very bad tumor.
00:28 It's a tumor that's linked to the presence of amianto in the air.
00:36 It's taken, in practice, because you breathe amianto particles
00:41 without knowing it, without realizing it,
00:44 because amianto is a fibre.
00:47 It's 6,000 times smaller than a hair.
00:51 It's 6,000 times lighter than a hair.
00:54 Once it's released into the air, it doesn't settle on the ground.
00:59 So you breathe it without realizing it.
01:02 It has a...
01:05 - How do you say it? - A season.
01:08 It has a very long shelf life.
01:12 It can stay there for up to 30 years.
01:17 When it manifests, it's too late.
01:21 Now, to say that hope is over with this, is not true.
01:26 Because there is still hope. Research is still going on.
01:30 You have Burioni, the great Burioni,
01:33 who a few weeks ago hosted a magician of research
01:41 on the subject of immunotherapy,
01:47 Paolo Ascierto, who presented the vaccine,
01:50 he did it in the broadcast,
01:52 he presented the vaccine for a disease related to cancer.
01:59 So now, a solution has been found.
02:03 So it's not true that there won't be any possibilities tomorrow.
02:08 Not at the moment, though.
02:10 So tonight I'm here to celebrate the idea
02:14 that there is a solution that hasn't been discovered yet,
02:18 but that will probably be discovered.
02:21 So we shouldn't give up.
02:23 I'm talking about the sick people of this same tumor that I have.
02:27 And we can go on with reasonable hopes
02:31 that there will be a solution and that it won't be so far away.
