Help Katarina Beat Fibrio Sarcoma High Grade

Donation protected
My good friend's daughter Katarina Manić is seriously ill. She resides with her family in the Republic of Serbia, where medical treatments for this type of cancer are extremely limited. She was diagnosed with high-grade fibrosarcoma on May 12th based on initial test results analyzed by Dr. Andrew E. Rosenberg from the University of Miami. The initial chemotherapies did not give any results. The tumor spread aggressively to both femur(s) and the spine. The only possible cure is to analyze the genetic mutation of the cancer and, based on those results, attempt to design a more successful therapy and choose a medicine that will work. However, that type of analysis and treatment is unavailable within the Republic of Serbia.
Only two institutions have the expertise for this type of analysis and treatment. One is in Vienna, Austria, and the other is in Bologna, Italy. The hospital in Austria is Vienna General Hospital AKH (Allgemeines Krankenhaus der Stadt Wien, AKH Clinic) Währinger Gürtel 18-20, 1090 Wien, and the clinic in Italy is Oncologia dell'Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli di Bologna - Via Giulio Cesare Pupilli, 1 - 40136 Bologna (BO). The analysis could be done at either of the two. Unfortunately, our friend does not have the funds required for these procedures. The minimal cost would be around 20,000.00 euros. That's without a hospital stay. Unfortunately, they (we) don't have that kind of funds, thus urging the public at large to try and help.

She is currently in the Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia located at Pasterova 14, Beograd, Serbia ph +381 11 2067100. (this photo of her is taken few days ago at the facility)

Please help Katarina put up a fight and beat this disease, time is limited, and your action is urgently needed. Thank you for your kindness and care in the name of Katarina Manić, her family, friends, and the public at large.

What is Fibrio Sarcoma (summary):
Fibrosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm (cancer) of mesenchymal cell origin in which histologically the predominant cells are fibroblasts that divide excessively without cellular control; they can invade local tissues and travel to distant body sites (metastasize).
