The next block of chemotherapy for Sofiia has already begun. The first weeks of treatment were not so bad, without complications. However, the stomatitis appeared on the 26th day of treatment. The disease was internal - gullet edema, higher temperature. Even febrifugal medicine and injections could not help. 
 
The girl became very weak. It was hard for her to eat and the stomatitis had appeared in the mouth. The level of analyses rapidly decreased. She had a blood infusion. The child had the state, that doctors call “aplasia” – she slept everytime and ate nothing. She was infused with “Kabiven” (this medicine is prescribed mainly for children, that are in intensive care in hospitals) in order to enrich her organism with nutrients.
 
After several days she felt better. The stomatitis disappeared little by little after gargling. The child began to gain weight. And, at last, a smile on her face appeared. Sofiia has several days before the beginning of the second phase of treatment. So, we believe, that the next chemotherapy will be undergone much easier.
