“60 years ago I had a brother who died of thymoma. It was the biggest trauma of my life and that of my entire family, and throughout my life the word cancer was never uttered. It was a terrible trauma, communication was non-existent. […] My brother was 3 years old, he was diagnosed when he was one and a half years old. […] I would like to know if thymoma is still an incurable cancer.”
– Spectator, testifying in the first session of “Tratar o cancro por tu”
