I'm working as a clinical psychologist with cancer patients for 24 years. Our Centre of Oncology was the second medical institution in the country that recognised the need of the cancer patients for counseling and supportive psychotherapy. Between 1999-2000, I had a one year training in Psycho-Oncology with professors from Salpetriere Hospital, Paris. Later I had my PhD at the Doctoral School of Biomedical Sciences at University of Oradea with a thesis in the Psycho-Oncology field, concerning the psychological impact of breast reconstruction after mastectomy in breast cancer patients. I first heard about IPOS when a training was organised in our country in 2013. Since 2016, I attended the World Congress of Psycho-Oncology almost every year, in suits or pijamas (as in 2021 in Tokyo). I'm waiting for next congress in Milan.
