Hello, my name is..." - each of us is involuntarily afraid to hear this seemingly ordinary phrase when we come to the oncohematology department for children. As much as we wouldn't like it, the department is never empty, and vacant beds more and more often "find" new owners in the form of young patients. Unfortunately, every…
We met Sashenka Kasyanova in 2019. The 6-year-old girl was urgently taken to the first surgery department of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital with a huge tumor on her eye. Doctors diagnosed Sasha - rhabdomyosarcoma had progressed at an incredible rate.
With this terrible news a new chapter of the little girl's life - the fight against cancer - began. After the first course of chemotherapy Sasha faced the most severe complications. She just lay curled up and cried silently in pain. And how hard the girl endured changes of her appearance - loss of hair and painful eyes! Several times Sasha was in a critical condition - a little body, attacked by an aggressive disease, just could not cope. But Sasha, like a brave fighter, fought for her life and believed tirelessly that everything would be okay! Six months later Sasha was discharged home: the main stages of treatment were passed, the body responded to treatment. But...
A month ago Sasha got the old diagnosis again... Only a new word was added - "relapse". The cancer came back with renewed vigor... Yesterday the girl had a holiday - her 8th birthday, which Sasha had to celebrate in the gray walls of the first surgery department of the Republican Clinical University Hospital. But you know... We sincerely believe that when it's a holiday, dreams come true! That's why we tried to make a real little party for our birthday girl: with cake, balloons and gifts! And how happy that our efforts were reflected on Sashenka's face in a smile!
We'd like to thank our friends, Tatyana the fairy for the bright balloons and Don Ecclerio Confectionery for the delicious cake.
Sashenka, our sweet, wonderful and incredibly strong girl, from our entire team we would like to wish you a Happy Birthday! We believe in your speedy recovery from cancer! May your life be full of lots and lots of smiles and happy moments! May all your cherished dreams come true and your childhood be filled with bright colors! Let the whole world light up with your tender smile! Happy Birthday, our doll!
