Television: Bonaccorti on his cancer, ‘I’m in limbo, I don’t think about the future.’

Rome, 4 January (LaPresse) – ‘I’m feeling pretty good, I’m in limbo, waiting to meet with Professor Tortora, I need to know what happened. I’m waiting for an answer, they’ll tell me what to do. To find out if this awful thing I have has shrunk, moved, I don’t know. I had tests and a CT scan seven or eight days ago, I don’t know.’ This is what Enrica Bonaccorti said in an interview today on Domenica In, talking about the tumour she discovered she had last summer. “Even now, I still tend to shut myself off. At first, I withdrew; I didn’t want to tell anyone. I don’t know why. When they told me I had the same thing as Eleonora Giorgi, I told myself that I would never be able to be like her. I closed myself off and could only see my daughter, who is more worried than I am,‘ she added. ’This awful thing has brought me some good things, including some friendships that I have rediscovered, such as those with Mara Venier and Renato Zero. Like my daughter, who has always been fantastic, but now I feel tenderness towards her. She seems like my mum. And then there’s my grandson Teo,” she added. ‘I am not a pessimist but an optimist. Medicine is advancing greatly. I never think about the future, and I have never been able to take stock of my life, otherwise I condemn myself, because I am very critical. I do not want to succumb to my self-judgement; I want to be optimistic,’ she concluded.
