Silvio Berlusconi said on Friday "It's
tough", but that he would "make it this time too".
"Even in difficult and delicate situations I have managed to get
back on my feet," Berlusconi is reported to have said.
The three-times former premier and media mogul was speaking by
telephone to Augusto Minzolini, editor of the former Berlusconi
family newspaper Il Giornale.
Berlusconi has been receiving treatment in the intensive care
unit of San Raffaele hospital in Milan since Wednesday for
chronic leukemia and a lung infection.
