Olga Kruzhilina is struggling to prove herself and her disease that she is stronger

November 29, 2015, 18:30 1905 Author: Alina Senyuk, translated by Oxana Burns deti.zp.ua She still has 9 weeks until the end of her treatment. One course of treatment costs about 25,000 UAH for the Kruzhiliny family. This is a colossal sum of money for them.

Twenty-eight weeks have passed since Olga started her treatment. After having taken hormonal treatment, she gained some weight, about two kilos, which is great. Her health and mood slightly stabilized. The only thing that disturbs Olga now is stomatitis (she has pain and discomfort which prevent her from eating and even drinking water normally). In this particular case stomatitis is a side effect of chemotherapy, so she is in no hurry to despair. It is much easier to overcome it rather than her main diagnosis!

In order not to waste time, Olga is preparing for the finals at school; she reads Ukrainian literature and history of Ukraine. She tries to devote all her free time to her development and she is pretty good at it.

She still has 9 weeks until the end of her treatment. Each course of treatment requires an enormous amount of funds as almost no medicines are available in the hospital and patients have to buy them at their own expense.

One course of treatment costs approximately 25,000 UAH for the Kruzhiliny family. This is a colossal sum of money for them, but thanks to your continued support it is much easier to believe that there are some good people in this world.

Despite all the problems and hardships Olga does not lose faith in herself, she does everything in her power to recover as soon as possible and prove herself and the disease that she is stronger!
