The last three months and a half for me, the only thing that I can say is that it hasn't been easy. But I have to keep going. If we are not able to find an improvement or a small solution, then it's becoming super difficult for me. I am just enjoying every day that I have the chance to be here, and without thinking much about what can happen in the future. I'm going to keep fighting to find a solution, but for the moment, we haven't.
