letter DIED Merlin Merlina
Monday November 29, 2010 12:49 chose to read a poignant letter that the lawyer wrote to his friend, Dr. Mariana Lestelle, in May this year. Merlina
note began recounting how lived to tell about his illness before the cameras: "It is good to remember that February 25 live where I sat down to relate to anyone who is looking to have cancer. It was liberating and inspiring for many to talk about something that is still lived as something that should be kept secret, not keep quiet or privacy, but as stigmatizing, and damaging cuts. "
"(...) My body is healthy, I thought, and I will not try to calm the party who is affected. Followed working, exercising and tried to lead a fairly normal life. To the extent that symptoms are pronounced, the feeling of health, control your own body starts to make you shake: it is very difficult to climb on the scale and see who has lost weight or that you spend a jean size 27 to 25 . Enter a business and ask for a jean that size I think is what makes you feel powerful in this society of crazy, and I find it devastating. "
In another excerpt from the extensive menu, the former "MaƱanero" told the story of her first chemotherapy session. "It was hard to get to this instance. I had become accustomed, or rather, the concept was anesthetized The disease ... face the fact of treatment, which usually is something you give away once declared cancer, convulsions usually quickly life of the patient and family ... It's like they do not give you time to think and your hope is there, combined with the frustration, anguish and the downturn that gives you something that has not finished digesting. Having five months without treatment you again to show that you have a disease that is devastating and further treatment. (...) You can be sick and not dying, and can be healthy and die from one moment to the next. Again, knowing that the hair would fall, which the body healthy so far with me could be affected by the treatment, I hit a huge slap me slap led to the first where I heard the news. The worst is the fear of the aggressor .... The best thing is to want to face it. (...) I thought of "war" ... I thought of my children again, and I realized that being a mother, not you afraid of the pain. They can do what is necessary with my physical body, but nothing can be so serious because the most important thing is to live by them. No surrender is the goal ... It is like falling prisoner for many months in a place where you shave, you torture, you get weak and you must bear all ... With the difference that every day you can still see your children, your husband, your parents and all the affections of those who want to surround yourself with. "
"(...) The day before I went to the salon treatment to me and my hair color. For what I asked? If you're going to lose your hair in a week ... And if you fall in two or three, what? Ask me how I'm insisting on morale. The truth is there is no mood to resist feeling bad, but what matters is daily obliged to do certain things. (...) No doubt the decisions we make about our priorities in difficult moments are those that chew and ruminate and do not fully digest (Oh, what chance for anyone with a stomach ailment) Grooming ... Do not stay folded dressed in tights is a priority. I do not care if we do not leave my house, I like makeup and got dressed. The version of a must be intact. "
"(...) That they tell of living day to day is very nice but for me, life has always been to plan and draw conclusions from the targets. Why should that change now? You also say that one should be more selfish than ever and there is no room to hold one, however, I try to push myself holding my husband that sometimes bad, or my parents, who sprang from anxiety and call me more than never as having a stake in the company of your
...". "(...)
Nobody seems to care the issue of aesthetics of the cancer patient. I say that is good to get a wig and point, but when I have my first experiments I will dedicate myself to this. Sex: The problem is a high impact on women, especially with diseases that are higher incidence of cancer of the breast or uterus, where the impact is all about sexuality. In men there are problems when the ailment afflicting prostate, and beyond that, the mood and pain may prevent you think about it ... I am concerned, a geisha as I always have to meet her "husband in the forest", a concept that I Like a movie I saw of Jewish refugees in the forest and how women in this situation one should choose the duration of the exile.
