title: ["I believe that dialysis has improved my health status"].
abstract: For JM, dialysis is not a battle but a life contract which requires a time of adaptation both on a physical as well as an organisational level. After a few months of treatment, he describes here in simple terms how he feels about this new and unknown world, one which he is getting to grips with little by little thanks to the confidence he has in the professionals surrounding with him.
