Meet Ivana, a woman with an incredible spirit that has touched the hearts of many. She is a talented pianist, a devoted teacher, and the artistic director of the Belgrade Chopin Festival. But that’s not all – she’s also a loving mother to her three-year-old son, a caring wife, sister, daughter, and friend.
One year ago, Ivana received devastating news: she was diagnosed with stage III cervical cancer. Surgery was not an option due to the cancer’s size and progression, so she underwent full radiation therapy. Sadly, the illness continued to progress rapidly, metastasizing to eight lymph nodes.
Determined to fight, Ivana began integrative oncological treatment three months ago, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and natural biological substances. And there’s good news – an MR control test showed that this treatment is successful! For the very first time, the cancer is showing signs of regression. Her doctor, Dr. Vukov, estimates that she will need at least two years of immunotherapy with the “Keytruda” (Pembrolizumab) drug.
Here’s where we come in. The treatment Ivana needs is expensive, and she can’t afford it on her own. We have the power to contribute to her recovery, to give her a fighting chance against cancer. Our donations will help Ivana receive the treatment she needs to beat this disease and live a long, healthy life with her family and friends. Let’s come together and show Ivana the love and support she deserves.
We thank all the wonderful and gracious people who have already helped, and we urge those who can, to join us in this important cause.
Together, we can make a difference in Ivana’s life and bring hope to her future.
