“Today, when I remember her, I try to hang her out like washed laundry. May the best of her life before cancer stand before me clean and shining, moving under the weak summer wind. And may there not be in that whiteness the black stain that so often, in addition to killing, clouds the memory, tends to reduce the life of whoever touches it to the recipient of a disease.”
– Writer Afonso Reis Cabral, excerpt from the text “Na Ponta do Focinho”, created for the “Tratar o cancro por tu” initiative
