She is 33-years old and has two small girls. Her husband suffers from a rare and incurable disease which attacked his lungs. He fights for every breath, assisted by oxygen supply. He will survive only with a lung transplant.
"I never knew how painful can turn to be the simple act of writing, when one pours oneâs heart into it. I am 33 but I feel 66. I lived to the fullest. I married Catalin Munteanu as soon as I graduated high-school. We started our lives with a lot of faith and assured that hard work was our only way to achieve our dreams. I worked with the railways company, and he worked at the Galati steel mill. Our salaries combined allowed us to get a mortgage. We were so happy to move in our own apartment, to eat from our own dishes and watch our own TV set, albeit all bought on credit. These were to us like proofs of battles won," says the woman. "The complete happiness I felt at the birth of our first girl, Carmen. But as soon as we had our second girl, Crina, in 2002, my husbandâs health started to deteriorate. Following investigations at the Lung Hospital «Marius Nasta» in Bucharest, the diagnostic was found to be lung fibrosis, with unknown causes. This is a very rare disease which attacks the lungs and untimely the whole body, which is chronically deprived of oxygen. One year later, following a common cold, Catalin was again admitted to hospital with severe cough. Then we found out that his lungs were working at 45% of their capacity, that he will need constant supply of oxygen and will not be able to work anymore. The treatment can only slow down the progress of the disease, but not stop it. My salary stayed at RON 640, and Catalinâs pension reached RON 330. On this budget we had to cover regular expenses plus the cost of the oxygen therapy. The ordeal was only beginning. The disease progressed and his lungs operate now at 20%. The only hope is for a lung transplant, the doctors said."Citește pe Antena3.ro
