“I got hooked mesothelioma, a very bad tumor“. Franco Di Mare, Rai journalist, on ‘Che tempo che fa’ talks to Fabio Fazio about his illness. “This little tube that runs over my face is linked to an automatic respirator and allows me to breathe forcedly, but it allows me to be here to tell stories, to talk to you. It’s a cancer linked to the presence of asbestos in the air”, He says. “It is taken by breathing in asbestos particles, without realizing it and without knowing it. An asbestos fiber is 6,000 times smaller and lighter than a hair. It has a very long shelf life, can wait up to 30 years and when it manifests itself it is often too late. However, the hopes do not end, the research continues”, he adds.
“Life ends when the referee blows his whistle, he hasn’t done it yet”
“It’s not true that there won’t be any chances tomorrow, but not at the moment. I’m here tonight to celebrate the idea that there is a solution that hasn’t yet been discovered but which will probably be discovered. We must not get down and we can move forward with reasonable hopes that there is a solution and that it is not that far away”, adds Di Mare. “I’ve had a beautiful life. The memories I have are full of life. I don’t want to get stuck around the idea of death. I want to connect to the idea that there is life. What I’m so sorry about is only finding this out now. It’s not late yet “.” It’s not late yet because – she adds -, as Boskov said, the match ends when the referee blows his whistle. My referee hasn’t blown his whistle yet.”
Attack against Rai
”The whole of Rai, all the management groups have disappeared. I understand that there are union and legal reasons, I was asking for the service record, the list of places where I have been to find out what could be done. I can’t understand the absence on a human level, people I used to address as informally who became connected over the phone. I find only one adjective: it is repugnant”.
