"An MRI? I've been trying for a year, there's no room"
The outburst of a patient from Cagliari, operated for cancer in 2021 and waiting for a new operationPer restare aggiornato entra nel nostro canale Whatsapp
"I read the story of the woman from Sassari, who after her complaint in the newspaper, was called to have the MRI that she hadn't been able to book for a month . I'm very happy for her, but I have to say that my wait is much much longer: in February it will be exactly a year since I was able to have an MRI."
Daniela Cacciuto, 65, from Cagliari, underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer in July 2021 at the Gemelli in Rome, "because they told me it couldn't be done here." Now, last year, "I had radiotherapy, because it seemed like the tumor was coming back, and after a while I was asked for an abdominal MRI, to check that everything was okay. I also need it, above all, for another operation I have to undergo, they have to remove my gallbladder, which is full of stones, and this is a necessary test to proceed. Since February 2024, I've been trying to call the CUP, the hospitals, the affiliated centers every day, but they tell me there are no places available. At the Gemelli they told me to go there, but I can't afford the trip, both physically and financially. Here, sorry if I turned to you, but I really don't know what to do. I imagine that there are many people in my situation, but is it possible that we have to turn to the newspaper to claim our right to health?
