THE Akil completed the first cycle of treatment after leukemia diagnosed with him.
“Ever since I got out of the hospital, everything has been doing much better. I feel like I have a lot of power. It is certain that I have dark times when I see them all black. Fortunately they hold a little, they come mainly in the evening. Tears? I try not to let too much run. I find it difficult to contain them when I listen to music, some specific melodies. ““, The Italian forward, whose video with his children welcomed their home after a month and a half away, was moved to the Corriere della Sera.
“It came out very spontaneously. Erika (his wife) said to me: “Wait before you get off the car.” And then I saw them rushing to me, what emotion, after a month and a half I hadn’t seen. The next morning we all woke up together in the big bed. It was great. They pulled Erika out of bed because they wanted to sleep with Dad. We didn’t even say to the kids that I was in the hospital. My mother -in -law came here to help us when Erika was with me. The young man is three years old and Vitoria will be five in November. But she has already realized that something is wrong … The little girls are more observant. From the hospital, during the video calls, he immediately noticed that my hair had fallen. He went to Erika angry and said to her, “Mom, you lied to me. If his hair fell, it means that dad has something serious, as the other time”“, He stressed.
At the same time he referred to how he learned the bad news. “In Bologna’s Sant ‘Orsola, they even had a hard time announcing it to me. The hematologist comes in and says, “There are no good news.” Then it stops, almost embarrassed. It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to say to me, he just wanted to be careful about choosing the most appropriate words. I tell you the truth, when you hear the word ‘leukemia’ you are scared, but you realize how hard it is when you start the treatments. Doctors studied the type of leukemia, which is considered rare when one has never done chemotherapy or radiotherapy before. In my case, however, because I had already undergone a circle of treatments to remove the tumor in the testicle in 2023, it is classified as a common type of leukemia”
On the support of his wife and his environment he said: ‘A month ago we celebrated six years of marriage, I’m lucky. It particularly encourages me in difficult times. She is a woman with a very strong personality. Erika is my life. I am flooded by an incredible love. It helps me to withstand these treatments. The children of Virtos Bologna were fantastic when they brought me the championship cup to the hospital. I was particularly moved by Belinelli’s sensitivity. And of course they are the “Adjuri”, my federal poge writes every day, it’s like my older brother“
