Gaia Bennati, a 24-year-old student from Genoa, faced a rare ovarian tumor called dysgerminoma. After a difficult diagnosis and an operation to remove the ovary, she discovered that the cancer was stage III with metastases. She underwent a second operation and three cycles of chemotherapy. Gaia now shares her experience to raise awareness about cancer prevention and to support the rights of cancer patients. She tries to break down the taboos related to cancer and denounces injustices in the Italian healthcare system. Gaia has a vision of helping people like her and combining psychology and communication to make a difference. #cancer #dysgerminoma #ovariantumor #chemotherapy #oncology #cancerconfidential #sharingiscaring #metastasis #secondopinion
