Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• "I love travel and hiking - they help me restore energy and feel the rhythm of life. I am passionate about cooking and a healthy lifestyle, interested in psychology and learning foreign languages: I am fluent in English, and constantly improving my French. In cinema, I choose detective stories and thrillers, and in literature, psychological prose captivates me - lately, I've been discovering modern Ukrainian literature."

Doctor's advice:

• "If you have a cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain that lasts for more than two weeks, please consult a doctor. If you are already under medical supervision, follow your observation and treatment plan and come for follow-up examinations at the appointed times. Pay attention to any new or unusual symptoms - even small changes can be important for your treatment. For patients at increased risk, I may recommend additional examination, such as low-dose lung CT, to detect changes in time. Quitting smoking, physical activity, and a healthy lifestyle help maintain your lungs in good condition. Early detection of changes gives the best chances for effective and gentle treatment."
