After a hard fight and facing every obstacle with dignity and courage, Alexandrina left us, defeated, not by her desire, but by the ruthless cancer. Our hearts are choked with sadness as memories of it flood our minds and remind us of how special and special she was.
Alexandrina was not just a human being, but a light in our lives, an example of kindness and selflessness, with an extraordinary common sense. And even if she's in a better place now, her memory will stay alive in our hearts forever.
Despite the pain that weighs us down, we have faith that her pure and generous soul has been saved, that she has risen to heights where pain and suffering no longer occur. Although we will miss her every day, Alexandrina will live through the stories we will tell, the memories we will share and the love she has shown us.
In these moments of deep sadness, let us remember her smile, the optimism she faced each day, and the love with which she surrounded us. Alexandrina, you will always be in our hearts. Thank you for everything.

Many times, I have heard the expression that 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. But, to know, sometimes, a portrait, a landscape, an icon or even a simple photograph can say even more than that thousand words. A photograph in which suffering and love are so visible and tangible can express feelings equivalent to 10,000 words.
The image you see below was not directed or prepared. She was caught in a pure, spontaneous moment. The young woman, Alexandrina Iacub, only 27 years old, who tenderly holds the little one in her arms, both being diagnosed with cancer, shows us that, despite pain and suffering, LOVE always triumphs. Alexandrina is going through incredibly difficult times, both medically, morally and financially. However, in this battle for life, faith, hope, and love remain unchanged—representing the three great virtues of Christianity.
Each of us has the opportunity to become a ray of hope for Alexandrina in her fight with this ruthless adversary.
Alexandrina Iacub: A fighter in the face of adversity
In the middle of her life, full of plans and dreams, Alexandrina Iacub was faced with a reality that no one would want: cancer. However, instead of letting herself be defeated, she chose to fight, demonstrating extraordinary strength and courage.
Each of us knows the painful price of this disease, not only emotionally and physically, but also financially. The treatment required for Alexandrina is extremely expensive. But in these trying times, faith, love, and the strength of community become essential.
In this intense struggle, where every day counts, Alexandrina received a sign of hope. Save a Heart Association took a step forward, paying the amount of EUR 1500 according to the attached payment order. This generous act, full of love and solidarity, highlights how united a community can be in the face of suffering.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributes, in any way, to this fight. Alexandrina, with her courage and faith, reminds us that, together, we can face any obstacles.
Our fight continues! Thank you for your generosity, compassion and for choosing to stand by you at such critical times.
"Save a heart" Association has today taken another important step in our mission to bring hope and comfort to the young woman, Alexandrina Iacub. I made a significant payment of EUR 5500, according to the details presented in the attached payment order.
Every time we make payments like this, we are reminded of our unwavering commitment to those we seek to help and the incredible community that supports us on this journey. Every contribution, every gesture of support makes us understand that our fight is a common one and that together we can make a difference.
We would like to address you a sincere and deep thank you. Our gratitude knows no bounds when it comes to the generosity and trust you have given us. Our struggle, our mission, continues because of you.
We are grateful to you and promise that we will continue to strive to live up to your expectations, fighting every day to bring hope where it is needed most.

Alexandrina Iacub underwent today the fifth course of immunotherapy. She feels good, her clinical condition is improving, but she is very anxious about money.
Financial resources for treatment are running low and she desperately needs the help of all of us to continue fighting for her own survival.

Today, I am on my fourth immunotherapy in my battle with cancer, requiring ongoing treatment and your precious support.
I have already gone through three difficult stages, but the potential for a healthy and happy life motivates me not to give up and to fight on. However, the costs of treatment have become overwhelming, and today I ask for your support and help again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support along this difficult road. Every gesture of support helps me keep my hope and determination.
I hug you dearly and thank you for being by my side in these difficult times.
With gratitude,
Alexandrina

Someone sent me this collage, saying, "How much you've changed!" 🤔
Yes, I have changed, my eyes are no longer full of life and happy, they are tearful and sad daily. Yes, I've changed, I don't have that long beautiful hair anymore, I don't have that smile on my face anymore, I smile trying not to show my pain. Yes, I am not like I used to be and, yes, I don't like myself the way I am, I can no longer put on a coat and admire myself looking in the mirror how good it is for me. Yes, now I cry and say how ugly I look...
I always ask myself, "Why me? Why does the disease not want to leave me? Why does it make me suffer and torment me so much? What did I do wrong?" Do you think it's easy for me? I smile in front of everyone, but my soul is drowned by tears and pain.
Much, very much I still have to fight, but I feel like I'm giving in and I don't have the strength to move forward. Too hard is my fate....

Beauty burdened with much suffering... Smile shaded by so much pain... Hands outstretched not to embrace, but to be pierced again and again... of needles.
Alexandrina Iacub is undergoing her fifth course of immunotherapy today. After incessant tears there remained hope and confidence that it would be okay, it must be!
Only with our help, the 27-year-old has a chance to beat cancer! Without financial support, all the effort so far would be in vain.

Today I'm back in control! After the set of analyzes, things seem to be going well. On 15.06.2023, I will have the second immunotherapy cure out of the thirteen fixed by the doctor. Unfortunately, until a total recovery I can not go home.
Everything here is becoming more and more expensive, the homesickness and the thought that I will not be able to pay for the treatments and accommodation torments me as much as the thought of the disease. That is why I bow before you and ask you to continue to be with me. May God bless you and reward you with health!

Today I started my first immunotherapy session. The analyzes came out good, but my health is not good at all, not to mention the moral one, I can not stop crying ...
Hard, hard is my fate ... but I can only fight and pray to the Lord for power!
Please be with me just as you have been until now! I still need you, any donation, any little help is very important to me!

Alexandrina is currently in the most critical period after the transplant. But although he has done extremely severe treatments, he manages to be strong against the disease. Her doctor, Mr. Hakan, supports her from all points of view. Today he promised him that after he healed, he would go with the whole team to eat Kebap. ☺️

2 days after transplantation...
Fever, chills, vomiting and headaches ... 2 almost sleepless nights and 2 days since the body fights continuously.
Alexandrina is bravo, God takes care to send her strength and patience, and you are wonderful, for you have formed a family around her to save her.
Be with her

Alexandrina endured much pain ...
... and away from the eyes of the world. It was just her and her family, too shy to ask for help, too shy to cry out her pain, and too sincere to hide her fear.
Alexandrina fought a lot ...
... and more fights, and when he is so close to overcoming the pain, he is afraid ... and I do not condemn it. Too much was courageous, too much for such a beautiful soul.
For several months now, we have been forming a community, The Alexandrian family. Please, one last effort, every penny has its enormous importance in paying for the transplant.

Alexandrina is preparing for the transplant that can save her life.
The team caring for her took her out to town for a breakfast to strengthen her for the next period, one that promises to be difficult.
Even if today, the young woman feels good, the coming days bring new difficulties, which is why she needs all the support of all of us.

Hello, dear friends!
Today I passed the PET-CT and was given detailed details about the transplant I was going to do.
I am afraid both because of my condition and that I will not be able to raise the necessary money. The transplant is scheduled this month and I have to raise 90,000 euros.

Alexandrina came to the check-up and dressing today. The catheter mounted was detached and his wires had to be renewed. At the moment, she is feeling much better and we are waiting in 2 weeks to start the next course of immunotherapy.
Following the latest investigations and analyzes, the doctors decided to postpone the operation for the time being because the effect of this treatment with two immunotherapy drugs seems to work wonders. It is expected to administer another 2 cures after which the transplant preparations will be started.
We still need financial support because only a treatment course costs €10,000.

Alexandrina came to the hospital today for the fourth cure of immunotherapy. In the morning, when her blood was taken, she had an episode of respiratory failure and the doctors had to hospitalize her.
Now her condition is stable, but she will most likely have to stay overnight for monitoring.

Alexandrina came to the pansy today. She was weighed, gained a little more weight, she eats, and finally the vomiting states are over.
On January 23, he will have to undergo the third course of immunotherapy.

Alexandrina is still hospitalized. Vomiting states persist because he has a very harsh treatment. She went into a depression and, in addition to the health problems she has, she also stresses the fact that she has not yet raised the money for treatment.

They come with good news!!!
Today I had a final discussion with Prof.Dr.Kadir Acar, the doctor who, besides being the best hematologist, is also the most joking and charismatic man I have met!
Our discussion was about my going home and what I needed :
-to do;
-administer;
-to monitor;
-what to care for;
-to consume;
In January, she is waiting for me back for investigations and to continue the treatment I had being hospitalized for more than a month in Medikal Park Bahcelievler Hastanesi.
I would like to thank God for everything and TO ALL those who have supported me from all points of view -
Morally, financially, mentally, with words of encouragement and warm that have made me strong throughout this period.
I am sure that this treatment will have positive results and my lungs will return to normal.
Let's see ourselves healthy and full of life, with God Help .

Today Alexandrina was given detailed details about the intervention that will follow in her lungs. Her mother is destroyed and does not know where to grab her to get the money needed for surgery.. The operation is planned in February and until then they will have to raise the amount of 18,000 Euros.

Alexandrina did CT scan of the lungs. The doctors wanted to see the effect of the treatment because it still accumulates fluid in the lungs. If this problem continues, it is possible that he will undergo much more extensive surgery.
She has now completed her second chemotherapy course and we hope to be discharged on Monday.

Doctors say that easy, easy is approaching the time when I will be ready to be discharged, in about 10 days. The plan is to be given immunotherapy, a total of 4 doses that will be administered at a distance of 21 days.
In this rather long period, I will have to return home or be in Istanbul around the clinic, this moment will be decided a little closer to discharge.
After taking these doses, better said, after about 84 days, I will be ready to be given autotransplantation of bone marrow.
From today I start psychological counseling with the specialist here, it's not easy, the physical pains make me very weak emotionally and sometimes I seem to give in but your confidence in me gives me strength.
Thank you very much.

Alexandrina started therapy with the psychologist today. Given the state of vomiting plus the isolated hospitalization regimen, she went into a state of depression. Today, the fluid is removed from her lungs and it is planned that in about 10 days she will be discharged.

Alexandrina has been vomiting for two days. Today he will be given an endoscopy. On the other hand, the general surgeon came to check his hematomas that, fortunately, do not have an abscess, will withdraw by themselves, and there is no need for surgery for them.

Following the investigations it seems that it would be in remission, but we are still waiting for the result of some analyzes to be sure. During this time we are trying to bring to us the sample from Pathology in her country because it was incomplete work. At the moment, Alexandrina has antibiotic treatment because the degree of infection is high. On the other hand, transplant preparations have also begun. It is possible that after all the results to go directly to the transplant.

Hello, dear friends! Today I have the 4th day of admission here in Istanbul. From the moment of admission I stay 24/24 hours with infusion, during which my body reacts differently (fever, vomiting, dizziness of the head), which is very difficult to bear.
I'm going to pass the CT scan and do the biopsy, as a result of which the doctors will make the treatment plan. Every day, 5-6 times, I am monitored by medical staff. Every day, at 5:30 in the morning, I am weighed and given blood tests.

Alexandrina leaves today for Turkey where she will be subjected to medical investigations and after treatment.
"Please share my case with my friends and donate so that I can raise the entire amount for the treatment! I SINCERELY HOPE FOR GOOD RESULTS!
I am grateful for all you do for me and I wish you to receive you back tenfold!" 🙏🙏🙏
I want first of all to thank you for all your support, all your messages and encouragement.
The last two weeks are very hard for me. I feel how all the attempts of the doctors at onco do not bring results and only maintain myself.
The doctors in Turkey are already waiting for me and tell me that the unbearable pains that have appeared in the leg may be thrombosis and that makes me still worried.
Please, help me not to lose my chance at life. Help me get to Turkey and urgently start the cure.
I trust good people. Please, help me at least with a share to reach as many people as possible.
We also thank our colleagues from the Mcharity Foundation for their involvement and fundraising for Alexandrina, managing so far to collect the amount of 32959 EURO
VERY URGENT!!
Campaign started on: 29.10.2022
Name: Alexandrina
First name: Iacub
Age: 27 years
Required amount: 87.000€
Diagnosis: Classic Hodgkin's lymphoma with nodular sclerosis
The treatment will be carried out at Medical Park Hospital, Turkey
The shocking story of the young Alexandrina
Until recently I had a normal life: home, work, problems that seemed very difficult to me then, but which today I see as nothings. The shock came from routine tests. "Classic Hodgkin's lymphoma with nodular sclerosis" wrote on the result. No one in my entourage believed, and I insisted on repeated analyzes that, regretfully, confirmed the diagnosis - Hdgkin's lymph node with bone marrow sclerosis.
He was only 25 years old when he found out he had cancer. She was far too young to accept this strongly and, at the same time, too young to think about death. He had to have a future ahead of him, a life of dreams, accomplishments, goals achieved, happiness. Alexandrina Iacub saw herself radically changed by a medical paper.
In the moment, from the strong woman I considered myself, I turned into a helpless being, both physically and morally. Yet I promised myself and continued to lead a normal life - to go to work, to spend time with my family, to socialize, to dream and to believe - until the moment I saw that... I can't anymore.
For two years he has been sitting with the conviction over his head, but also with the hope that everything will be fine in the end, that it must be fine! Doctors claim that he has chances of healing, but not in the country, but abroad. They recommended her to go for treatment in Turkey, where there are specialists with good results in her problem.
The doctors are ready to receive me, but accommodation and medicines for 45 days, how long the treatment will last, costs me 87,000 euros, an amount that I can not even dream of. I appeal and I bet a lot on your help, wrote to us the young woman who just wants to become again "Alexandrina of yesteryear", the girl with dreams and aspirations, ready to help anyone.
The young woman can be saved through our donations. Any amount transferred to the accounts of the "Save a Heart" Association brings her closer to healing, to the future she wants to have with her family and all her loved ones. Cancer does not have to be an epilogue, but can only remain a sad memory. It's also up to us to change Alexandria's life story. Donate for her too!
