- Hello everyone! My name is Carolina and today I will invite you to go through my journey dealing with cancer in my family.
- Deslizar: 2
- This is so sad! I cannot stand it!!!
-
- My first ever contact with cancer was by seeing my sister crying so much over any sad movie about a disease that I barely understood back then, Cancer.
- Deslizar: 3
- Don't worry about me my darling. I am not scared of death but I am also going to fight against this monster
- It was just on 2020 that I would be forced to face the harsh monster, cancer. My maternal grandfather, Ernani, the hearth of my family, was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer.
- Deslizar: 4
- At the beginning we were so confident that he would defeat cancer, but we were all stabbed on our backs when the doctors informed us of how the treatment was going.
- Deslizar: 5
- Than I realized that cancer was not just a biological disease, it was like a virus that infected my entire family with endless sadness
- Deslizar: 6
- Seeing him slowly die, was the most painful thing in my life. I felt like each day slowly he was loosing the life inside of him, like his colors were fading
- Deslizar: 10
- Until there was nothing left, he was gone, and all the color in my world was also gone
- Deslizar: 11
- But then I realized that if my world had no colors anymore, my mom's world did not even existed anymore. I lost my grandfather, by she lost her father.
- Deslizar: 12
- Then I had to watch cancer, almost take my mom's life as well. She did not have cancer, but the way cancer took her father life made her want to leave this world for ever

- Leave us alone!
- The darkness took over our lives. The grief and pain was endless. I could not see a way out of it
- Deslizar: 14
- I just want to be able to have a normal life again! But I can't I am so weak. I can't even leave my room
- Deslizar: 15
- I am so worried about your mom, this grief is going to kill her. She does not leave her room for weeks!
- I know, maybe we should do something to change the dynamic of the house, so she does not feel drained by her grief anymore
- Deslizar: 16
- What can we do to make you feel better? You need to go back to your life, we need to overcome this together

- We need to start a treatment Erika. You almost lost your life. We will make you feel healthy again
- But this time... the master was not strong enough to also take her

- But how? I am not diagnosed with cancer. How are we going to treat myself
