THE Akil He has focused on coming out of his battle with leukemia and does not think at the moment whether and when he will be able to play basketball again. The Italian forward completed the first cycle of treatment, but his fight continues.
“I don’t know if I will be able to play basketball again, but I don’t think about it right now. What I care about and only is to be able to have a normal life again“, Virtu Bologna’s ace stressed in an interview with La Repubblica.
As for his daily life? “Every day I have dark times, but my wife makes sure to get me out of this situation. While I was in the hospital I felt like I was in prison. I went through periods that I didn’t want to eat. Now the feeling of being at home and being able to hug my kids is not described. I can’t even get out of the house for a short walk, because my immune system is low. Even my family has to stay in to keep me safe. Fortunately we have a home in a quiet area, with a garden and a pool. I don’t have much energy right now, but for me it is everything to have my wife and my children next to me. I had told my children that I have a fever, they are small and they don’t even ask many questions. But they were asking why my hair fell“, He said.
