Havana, January 3 (Juan Carlos Linares, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) -
Lianny Pérez Aguilera, 17 years old, who suffers from breast dysplasia,
cannot treat the disease because the Vitamin E prescribed by the doctor is not
available at the pharmacy.
Her mother, Mireya Aguilera, told independent journalist Juan Téllez
that she is very worried about her daughter's condition. "I am very nervous
because it has been two years already since I noticed the lumps on her breasts",
Mrs. Aguilera said.
She took her daughter to see the doctor then, and the disease was detected
early. But since that time they haven't been able to find the prescribed
medicine.
"Time and time again we go to the pharmacy and they tell us the
medicine is not available. I don't have any family abroad to help me with this",
complained Aguilera.
Many Cubans solve their immediate needs with the money sent from relatives
living in the U.S. Food, medicines, footwear, clothes, household appliances, as
well as other basic necessities are all provided for with this aid.
"I appeal to the compassion of Cubans living in the U.S, please send
the medicine to cure my daughter", said Mrs. Aguilera.
The woman resides at Calle 4ta #34, Vázquez, municipio Puerto Padre,
provincia Las Tunas, Cuba.
