Dear friends! Thank you for your participation in the lives of our children! Your support for them is not just words! Everyone who has ever been very hard at heart, who has had sad circumstances in life, knows that kind words, sincere sympathy, and support even with an understanding look - gives strength to live on and fight.

Our ward Milanochka needs such support! After all, after 5 years of struggle her resources are exhausted to the limit. Neuroblastoma of retroperitoneum, recurrences....

Behind TCM, operations to remove the tumour, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and heavy recovery periods. 

Milana is now undergoing immunotherapy along with chemotherapy at the hospital in Barcelona. She has completed her 3rd course of treatment, which lasted two weeks. The first week was chemo and two immunotherapy injections. Second week - three antibody injections. Then half a month break, during which you have to visit an oncologist, do analyses and ultrasound. Such intensive treatment, of course, weakens the child's immune system. Because of this, there are new adverse reactions, which are tolerated by the girl more and more severely. The cumulative effect of the chemo is also manifesting itself. Milana was much more nauseous than before. She was constantly sleeping or just lying down. Despite the break, there was no energy for walks and such useful sea air. During the course, she and her mum attended a day hospital. For Milana, already tortured by hospital walls, it is much easier morally than hospitalisation for a whole week. After chemotherapy, they would go straight home, and with immunotherapy, they would stay under observation at the hospital almost all day.

Unfortunately, the tumour in Milanochka's chest could not be cured. There is a question of radiotherapy, which will be added from the 4th course of immunotherapy. The girl's blood counts are quite low now. She has a lot of weaknesses. Lying down, she does her homework or plays on the phone. And it is already a joy because there was a period when the girl could not even answer the phone.

Let's support her in this important period of the battle for health!
