Every day of our lives, we fight to live. From the moment we wake up, we get to feel life in our day and dream about the futures we will have. I used to dream about a child calling for her mother. Now I dream of a new life. I dream to wake up without pain and once again embrace the life around me.

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. I fought cancer and I hoped that I had beat it. Two weeks ago I discovered that my cancer had metastasized and has spread to my lung and kidneys.

I am 27 years old and I am not done living. I am a native of Onesti and am a kinetotherapist.I know that if I survive this I will continue to help others. I have more that I know I can give.

In Romania, my chances are slim. A specialist oncology center in Turkey, Andalou Medical Center, has a chance at helping me. To fight this battle, the center estimates my treatment will cost EUR 50.0000.

This is my last hope. I know it is a lot to ask, but when this is all over and I have survived to leave my mark in life, you will be the ones I will thank.

My name is Alexandra Simona Apostol and I WANT TO LIVE!
