Once you click the link, check the phone numbers on the left side of the page. Reach out to Mr. Zoran Mitrović. Honestly, the guy is a saint and he'll help you out. He went through his own hell losing his son, but if anything, that just gave him more drive and strength to help others.
Hang in there—you can fight this!
I already have. I called Mr. Mitrović and I'm meeting with him tomorrow.
Thanks
Hey everyone
We just got back to Washington, D.C. yesterday—my 16-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and they can't even find the primary tumor.
It’s already metastasized to her lungs and spine.
The 3rd and 2nd spinal vertebrae and 5 lumbar ones are damaged, so she isn't allowed to get up at all.
The doctor was polite enough, I guess, but extremely clinical and cold.
Basically, he basically "dropped" the news that it's hardly worth doing much since there's no hope anyway.
Naturally, that absolutely crushed me.
I asked about getting psychological support for my child, which he flat-out refused because he "didn't see the need."
Everything went black for a second and I just bolted out of the hospital—I refuse to let my kid see me falling apart.
It's like I brought home a dog instead of a human being—a child who was just starting to live.
This is all so new to us; we found out about the illness just two weeks ago, and honestly, I have no idea what to do next.
