00:00We have seen, also through research that we have done, but also with the daily life of our patients,
00:11we have 190 associations around Italy and all patients refer to these associations,
00:18there are really 53,000 every year, those who get sick.
00:22From the moment of diagnosis to the whole course of treatment, especially when the treatment can be heavy,
00:30because it may require significant therapeutic procedures,
00:36having a doctor with you first, but also a psychologist,
00:42who accompanies you from the moment of diagnosis onwards, is really part of the treatment.
00:48I still remember the message of Professor Veronesi, who was my surgeon,
00:55who told me that these are key words that accompanied me throughout the course of treatment,
01:01so I know very well what this means.
01:04We are also here because last year we published a catalogue with five requests
01:11that concern women with metastatic breast cancer.
01:15The first is to have specific paths, to have a psychologist, a good relationship with the doctor,
01:23nutrition and therefore the whole part of lifestyles,
01:28but not least to have an acceleration on new drugs,
01:34because in reality, when they arrive in Italy, they have already passed all the different steps at the European level,
01:41when they arrive here in Italy, women ask to have an acceleration on the market of these drugs.
01:49It saves lives.
