Clara is a 7 year old girl diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, an aggressive type of cancer that can affect the central nervous system, intestine, kidneys, among other organs. She was referred to our hospital from the municipality of La Ceja, after presenting symptoms such as inflammation and stomach pain.
She was received by our staff who put all the resources at her disposal and after several tests she was diagnosed. She is currently undergoing the fourth cycle of chemotherapy and hopes to be cured before Christmas and to be able to share with her twin sister who is waiting for her at home.
Clara and her mother are grateful for the attention they have received and the warm treatment from our staff, they hope to finish the remaining two cycles of chemotherapy and ring the bell as a symbol that Clara has beaten cancer. ,
With your contributions you help that more children like Clara can continue to receive specialized health care from the hand of our specialists and with the latest technology equipment.
