On 20 June 2011, the chemotherapy started, of which there are lots of types available to cure various tumors. Zorka now gets one which is only available for about a year in Hungary. Previously they used it only abroad, but it has become available here as well. One block (that is, a treatment period) takes 7 days. This is a so called pre-treatment. This 7-day block will be repeated 4 times. This is absolutely necessary for the application of the main treatment afterwards. We are on Day 4 now. The curing "poison" - a strange phrase indeed - is dripping into that little body for 4 days now. Starting tomorrow, two chemotherapy drugs will be administered via two pipes, 24 hours a day. One will be connected to the central canula, the other to a branula, which will be inserted for just these few days. Two pipes, two drugs, two days non-stop, for one life.

We didn't cut her hair. Zorka wanted it this way. Each morning I collect her fallen hair from her pillow into a kidney dish.

I can only feed and give her water by playing games, otherwise she can't do it. I need to sneak eating into our games, that's how she can eat some minuscule amount. After a chemo treatment, she gets more than 2 and a half litres of infusion. That's the amount of liquid needed intravenously. It's very hard for her to drink beside this, mainly because of the nausea.

My lively and pretty active little daughter got tired very fast and dropped off to sleep. She needs her strength for tomorrow. We are going to be even more smart tomorrow, there's still lots of work to do until complete recovery. - A
