From you a
little, for my daughter a lot. Give her a chance to live !
If you get to know Alexandra
(Ale, as we call her), nothing gives away the fact that this little girl, only
six years old, has been struggling for her life for almost a year now. Although
she is tired of hospitals and countless visits to various doctors, in Romania
and abroad, our child shows an out of the ordinary maturity, with a smile on
her face, despite the fact that the diagnosis is one to break down even an
adult man: inoperable brainstem tumor.
We found out that Ale suffers from this disease just
before winter's holidays in 2012 and this has changed our lives for good. From
the very start, we have lost all hope of healing (it's inoperable). We went to
different doctors, here in Romania and abroad, in Hungary and Austria, hoping
that somebody will give us a treatment to save her or at least give us a chance
for surgery, to remove the tumor. Nobody gave us too many chances. We started
immediately the chemo treatment, although it was a hard and troublesome road.
Months went by, but unfortunately not in our favor. The disease refuses to give
us a chance.
After nine months of
treatment, doctors say that allopathist medicine won't help us too much, that
it only delays the inevitable. Further more, a committee of doctors from
Cluj-Napoca shattered any hope after they read Alexandra's medical file. They
told us that, no matter what we try (radiotherapy - which is very risky, or
chemo), our child has only between 1 and maximum 5 years to live !
Since then, we are looking day
and night for solutions. We managed to get in touch with several persons with
the same diagnosis as Alexandra. This is how we found out about the Burzynski
clinic in Texas (http://www.burzynskiclinic.com), which treats cancer patients
through antineoplaston therapy. As soon as we found out about this clinic, we
sent Alexandra's medical file and we received a prompt answer. They are the
only ones that gave our little girl a chance to live. Unfortunately, the therapy
is very expensive, much more than we could ever bring together. The clinic
stated that Dr. Burzynski's examination costs 1.350 USD and the antineoplaston
therapy for a month costs 5.000 USD. The treatment lasts for at least 3 months,
depending on the reaction of the organism. At a rough estimate, only to start
the therapy would cost us around 17.000 USD, plus expenses for transport, visa
and accommodation.
30.000-35.000 USD, this is the money that makes a difference between life and death for
our little girl. For some people, this may not mean much, but for us it is
enormous, especially that during all this time we have made huge efforts for
our baby to have the best treatments and conditions.
We believe that everyone
deserves a helping hand and this is what we are asking for. We ask for help to
save our little girl's life. It is more and more very urgent, because she is
beginning to develop chemoresistance, she doesn't answer anymore to
cytostatics. This could lead to tumor expansion at any given moment. In other
words, the countdown begins.
We appeal to those who have a
big heart, who can afford to steal a moment from their routine to read this. If
you have knowledge of foundations we could turn to, please contact us. You
could write to her mother, Andrada

Bună ! Eu sunt Alexandra și sunt din Oradea, județul Bihor. În ianuarie o să implinesc 7 ani și dorința mea cea mai mare e să mă fac bine ca să pot să mă duc și eu la scoală ca și ceilalalți copii de vârsta mea, să mă joc, să fac un sport, tot ceea ce face un copil de vârsta mea.
