The main treatment of Davyd Muzychyn began in November. From that time, Davyd has already finished three chemotherapy blocks. Now he is taking the fourth. Chemomedicine has a big impact on child`s health. The first two chemotherapy blocks were hard to bear. In addition, it`s hard for parents with medicaments, because they need to spend money on additional and very expensive treatment.
 
Parents don`t have an opportunity to work, because one must be near Davyd in a hospital, while two daughters (7 and 17 years old) are waiting at home (elder sister has cerebral palsy). 
 
Chemotherapy requires considerable material costs. Relatives and friends help all the time. The family asked social services and government for support and receive only 2 000 UAH as assistance.   
 
Let`s remind, David`s treatment has begun in December 2013. He was diagnosed with tumor in the leg. He finished 14 chemotherapy blocks during one year and one surgery in Budapest. The boy has a relapse. He complained of discomfort in the leg 10 months after treatment. Now he is taking the courses of chemotherapy in oncohematology department of Ivano-Frankivsk Children`s Hospital.
