Katya is a cheerful, active, and talented girl who has been studying English and dance since childhood.
This summer, she began complaining about pain in her leg. Tests revealed bone changes and three spots in her lungs. She was hospitalized for a biopsy, with results expected in three weeks. Her parents decided not to wait and flew to Israel, where a diagnosis of osteosarcoma was made within three days.
Katya has begun chemotherapy, which she struggles to endure: constant nausea and vomiting keep her in the hospital. She has also undergone surgery to replace a bone with a prosthesis and now needs to relearn walking. Ahead are four more rounds of chemotherapy. Despite the parents’ efforts to raise funds, the clinic debt is already € 63,000.
