“The cursed word, ‘cancer.’ In the past, people were ashamed to say they had cancer or had survived it. That’s why I think ‘Tratar o cancro por tu’ is an important theme: to be able to say we’ve had it, have it, or might have it.”
– Rui Moreira, during the “Tratar o cancro por tu” initiative
“The worst cancer is the cancer of silence, the one that turns us inward and isolates us.”
– Pedro Abrunhosa, during the “Tratar o cancro por tu” initiative
