"Doctor, will I live?" .....silence.

- I don't know

When you get to the point of asking this question, you slowly realize that all your dreams, goals, ideas have merged into one... to live.

My name is Nikolay Kolev, I am 28 years old and a few days ago I heard the hard words -"you have cancer". In an instant I realized that all the everyday small problems, illnesses, obstacles and peripheries mean nothing, do not matter. The only struggle is that for life.

And it happens in seconds, your life is turned upside down in a moment, after you have heard the echo of the scary words "you have cancer".

A diagnosis that doesn't sound real, sounds like something that only happens elsewhere, in someone else's world. But here that scary word "cancer" becomes a reality. This is what happened to me when I realized that the pain I have been experiencing for several weeks in my left shoulder was due to a 15 (fifteen) centimeter tumor accompanied by dissections in my lung.

A nightmare capable of knocking anyone's spirits down, but not mine. I refuse to give up. But unfortunately, I can't do it alone as the amount needed for my treatment will be prohibitive for my family But the answer to the horrible question is YES. There is hope!

According to the doctors, the problem is treatable, but only in two places - Hamburg, Germany and a clinic in Turkey. At the moment we don't have a concrete offer, but the approximate initial amount is about 250 000 leva.
