Thanks Salvatore for your interesting long answer to my question. I think I understand better how you articulate La Cura with your personal experience, and how these two intertwine. Reading you on commiseration made me remember how difficult it was to react to it and how I often ended up

commiseration comes from latin CUM=with MISERARI=misery,compassion which means "to cry for someone else's misery" which is a concept and gesture which may have multiple meanings and, most of all, intentions, and which different people may interpret in different ways. so I will only speak about

Salvatore - Thank you for your answer to me - but thank you even more for your answer to Annie, which is just fantastic! I wanted to ask you about commiseration, though. Somewhere - I'm not sure if it's on one of your websites or in one of your TED talks - you mentioned about all these

Oh, Annie, thank you so much for this, as it creates the opportunity to discuss something very important. There were many feelings at the time: fear of dying, helplessness, hope, anger (in multiple ways). But one prevailed. It all seemed like a paradox. A violent, continuous paradox in which

Dear Edward: thank you! and, for me, it all also resonates with the fact that it is very naive to imagine that you fall sick alone. When you become sick of a complex thing as cancer your friends and relatives become diseased, too, because their lives change, they are shattered. And so do your

Dear Salvatore, La Cura is a great project with great results. I hope I'll be able to read the book (in English or French or Dutch) one day. This email triggers a lot of thoughts in me, a lot. And I have questions. They are probably answered in the book, or on the website, that I tried to go

Salvatore - This is really inspiring and fascinating. The fact that being diagnosed with a serious illness is a dehumanising thing, and that people begin to see you in terms of what you've got rather than who you are, is a familiar observation in medicine. But I think you've broken new

Dear Friends, sorry for cross-posting. some time has passed since, in 2012, we launched the "La Cura" project when I was diagnosed with a brain cancer. The action turned out to become an emergent, worldwide participatory performance aimed at redefining the word "cure", bringing it out of
