She is Christina Tsviatkova or just our radiant Tita. Tita is only 37 years old, wife and mother of two beautiful and long-awaited children, Moni, 7, and Michaela, 3. However, she won't be spending the holiest of Christian holidays in the warm embrace of her children, because just a week ago fate slapped her with the severe diagnosis of Lymphoma Type B - CANCER OF THE LYMPH SYSTEM.

What her story is with tears in her eyes I, her maid of honour, write. For more than a month Tita was unsuccessfully treated for pneumonia in a hospital in Upper Olomouc. Her lung scans show a spot of unclear origin. On 5.12. of this year she went to Pleven, where, on the basis of only one picture, she heard the nightmarish words "MALIGNANT CANCER NEAR THE BELLAR BLOOD", "WE CAN CUT TO 1/3 OF THE BELLAR BLOOD", "FIRST OR SECOND STAGE CANCER". The words echo in her head, her worst nightmares come true, but with the support of her loved ones, she manages to pull herself together and seeks a second opinion in Turkey. After 3 days of tests, the final diagnosis of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma comes. KOC University Hospital, Istanbul are adamant- there is a chance of salvation, but we must act FAST, URGENTLY. Within the next 4 and a half months, 6 sessions of chemotherapy are needed, each accompanied by a 6-day stay in the hospital. The offer for her treatment amounts to 150,000 EUR and the amount is unaffordable for her family.

Dear people, on the threshold of Christmas, let us open our hearts and bring Tita back to her children. May a smile light up her face again and peace reign in her family! I believe!
