Uncertainty, helplessness, excruciating waiting, and anxiety are all experienced by children with cancer every day. Some are waiting for test results on which further treatment depends, some can no longer endure the months of pain and give up. And someone does not know what other side effects the treatment will have on his body. At first glance,…
Anna's mother Oksana is writing:
For 9 months we have been in the department of children's oncohematology in Donetsk. Anya has acute bilinear leukemia. This is the most horrible type of childhood leukemia. We have been fighting all the way through the 9 months of treatment! Sometimes I look at my little girl, tender and fragile, and I can't understand why she has so much strength and tenacity! You know, sometimes I just want to scream with helplessness, when I look how much the disease has affected her: from a mischievous happy and joyful child with a constant smile on her face, Anyuta has turned into a grown-up person with a sad and not childly conscious look...
Half a month ago Anyuchka came down with a cold and high fever, which could not be beaten down. Doctors had to resort to the appointment of antibiotics. Fortunately, Anya's exhausted body overcame this difficult ordeal. But the string of misfortunes was not over! Her bone marrow went aplasia, which lasted 20 days. This is a condition when the hematopoietic system is extremely depressed and all the blood components fall to zero.
Thank God now my girl's blood values are normalized and her condition has improved. We are relieved! But here it was another blow - the results of the latest research came from Moscow with the order to transplant bone marrow. We hoped until the very last that we would be able to avoid it... Apparently fate had made different arrangements, I had already put up with it... And again we got a bad luck - the results of blood typing showed that Annie has no related donor. God, why do our troubles haunt us? And that means that a donor has to be found in the donor database of the Russian Federation. And consequently, the transplantation is being postponed for an indefinite period of time. Now we are applying for a donor search in the clinics of the Russian Federation. We are waiting anxiously and hopefully for their response! I wish we had a guardian angel who is ready to give my kid a chance...
Creativity saves my daughter from despondency and bad moods. She draws, and sews, and sculpts. In April we sent Anyuta's work to a contest, and she won a prize there. I am so proud of her! I believe that my daughter will conquer the disease and achieve her dream - to become a famous artist, bringing joy to people!
Our family thanks everyone who helped in closing the collection for my little girl's treatment. Thank you very much, good people! Now I am asking for your prayers! I believe that God will hear our prayers together and work a miracle for my little girl, because she wants to LIVE!
