Ivan has already finished two chemotherapy blocks, but unfortunately they did not give good results. The condition of the child is even worse. Ivan complains of strong pain that he feels sometime after receiving the chemo.
 

Periodically, CT scan is done and it shows that the tumor is moving upward the spine and may reach the brain.
 
 
On Thursday, Ivan was prescribed a stronger type of chemo. It lasts five days, and Ivan needs six blocks.
 
Ivan tolerates the new chemo. Blood tests results are poor, but they are better than what Ivan had before, and that is why Ivan could return home for a while. We believe that at home he will gain strength that he needs to fight the disease.
 
 
The treatment is hard for Ivan, but he is trying to be courageous. We hope that the chemotherapy is effective, and we will see positive results.
