We are in the year one thousand 994 in August and
suddenly the happiness of my family the
Joy bursts in with a diagnosis of
Cancer
the youngest of our four children
diagnosed with a non-hodgkin’s lymphoma
is a cancer of ganglia year one thousand 994 in
mendoza cancer equal death
suddenly a terrible daze a
I dont know what to do
ignorance on the subject but we did know
that the studies that were coming were going to
be stories and invasive and suddenly it
opens a door for us in one of the
best hospitals in united cannes
send anderson cancer center in houston
I am six years old, we return from skiing with
my cousins and when we got to my house
my mom my dad and my brother more
little one are not
they tell us that my youngest brother
he is sick and they are all in
united states and that soon we will go to
see them I feel a little confused have
48 hours after diagnosis and now
We are in the United States must
face the treatment you have to look
colleges for sports boys try
that our families follow
working as well as possible
I go to school I make new friends
he spoke in English all a little new to
us but the hospital is fun
there are games there are people in disguise we
give away prize there are free ice creams this
hospital taught us a lot of things
the first one that impressed me the most was
Not denying the word cancer
the word cancer was in the name
of the hospital send of son cancer center
in was in the towels was in the
sheets were everywhere
the treatment offered to us lasted 14
months
the issue is that after six weeks of
started the treatment a great voice of
hope tells us that frank is in
complete remission and what is that and good
who do the studies and do not know
they find cancer cells in
no the that day we were together with my
another brother in our apartment there
where we lived in the united states and we
gave my mom my dad and they tell us that
franco has complete remission
we do not understand what it means but
we jump for joy in the
armchair
nevertheless it was necessary to continue a year
complete treatment beyond this
review during the treatment we think
because a few and many others do not
to be able to access this medicine
excellence and that’s where you start to
gestar fundavita foundation for life and
against cancer what we had
sure is that you have to carry the
word cancer
beyond the end of the treatment more
beyond the results
finally we begin to see a light in the
mouth of the tunnel
one year of treatment has already passed
and we return to our beloved mendoza
we return the whole family since I have 10
I wear the volunteer shirt
fundavita and I will attend the tables in the
feria agro stands at the kermes de la
New Year’s Eve party together with my
friends and my brothers
we go to all the events for us
it’s fun it’s like a game
clear I feel the need to involve
I’m volunteering at the hospital
children from mendoza
what differences with the united states
terrible differences sleeping parents
in the corridors children receiving
chemotherapy without catheter without pumps
infusion that will regulate the medication and
I say I have to take
I have to have more influence in the
decision making to be able to generate
big changes and suddenly one day god
I have to be a doctor
I have to study medicine, it’s not going to
be another because in the hospital felt
a lot the impossible word
we have to do this to is not almost
impossible we have to do that to no
here is impossible and I said I’m going to take
the word possible the dictionary and I think
that I have taken less death than
we talked about the challenge so that all the
dictionary and family dinner
I say I want to study medicine
they accompany and they all agree
they all say yes war to nothing mind me
embarked on this path
I am 18 years old and when I return from
bowling on Saturdays Sundays at 6 o’clock
the morning I find my mom
studying in the living room of my house I have
a famous phrase a week before
surrender to the four children while not
run blood I do not exist and I
they strictly respected
I managed to finish the race and I have 49
I’m a doctor for years and parents do not sleep
in the corridors of the hospital thanks to
a strategic alliance that we made with
the foundation of ronald
that a house was built next to the
hospital where it houses eleven families
the chemistry is passed with catheter are passed
also with infusion pumps
I found my vocation
I’m a doctor but this does not end here my
vocation tells me you have to be a pediatrician
this means four more years of
residence and 22 weekly guards in the
hospital
that means two nights I did not sleep
at home rotate through different hospitals
of the country and well we have to do it
I am 20 years old and every afternoon
together with my two biggest brothers
we received the same message frank me
You can search the school almost all
the afternoons we coordinated and what
I was looking for one several times also
had to take the bondi because mom
study medicine
today I have vip years I do not intend to say the
age that I have
I want to tell you that he worked 40 hours
per week in the office I found my
vocation that I am happy and and support in
all the projects of fundavita good
I am 29 years old today and I am going to tell you
I have been working for four years
developing technological projects and
Today I choose to collaborate with Fundavita
One year together with the team we developed
the project depends your stress to what is
a very deep that that is a
microfinance platform
collective again that is what many
people put little silver through
of a web platform
the project takes a year and it has
collected more than six million pesos
what we are looking for is to get a
magnetic resonator for hospital
notti
the good thing is to transcend and I nourish
of minds with projects so
innovative is good together
we want to invite you to be encouraged
be supportive and collaborate from your
vocation
we are convinced and there are studies that
they guarantee that once we have
our basic needs met
as drinking water sewer housing
clothes and food
what more happy in not doing the beings
human is to give things to the rest and not to
ourselves then to be
happy
everyone has to do a little
solidarity and what is it that
we propose for those who have not
done yet do it from your vocation is
much easier to help and be supportive
doing what one likes then
if they are designers they can donate hours of
design if they are counters can arm
balances for any ong a little
we invite you to light your star for
that they light their inner light and that they are
supportive and good I want to say thank you
for example, you taught me to be supportive
to find my chance and above all
pee
[Applause]
