Her 2

“Ahead of any emblem of suffering in our own way, we feel called into question” (S. Natoli)

HER 2 is a gene that can play a role in the development of breast cancer.
If it's positive, you can hope more.

We give names to the things in order to possess them, and not being possessed by them, and the name we give to the things leads our reactions.
The reactions crystallize into beliefs that influence the quality of life in a recursive loop.

Suffering breaks the usual rhythm of existence, it produces a discontinuity that sheds new light on things and conveys new knowledge.
Outside there’s the world of the health, inside the world of the disease.
Health is much more than a body that works.
Then ... a chance to rebuild a fragile middle ground where disease can find accommodation through the space of the relationship.

Cancer is a name that we can not even appoint.
The name of a new everyday life, in a suspended time.
