(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 22 - "Um, there is news to give and this time I really have to give it, personally. It's not that great, I warn you. What happened is that five months ago I was diagnosed a chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. I was sick, but not that bad, come on. When you have such a disease the best thing you can do is have a blood stem cell transplant, which I will do in a couple of days. "
The writer Alessandro Baricco announces it on social media.
Sister Enrica will donate the stem cells.
