According to the doctor, Tofik is feeling better – the dynamics of treatment is positive, he has an appetite and has put on 4 kilograms of weight. We discussed with her further treatment, and it will be long and he will have to stay in the hospital for more than one or two months,” she said.
The same day she received a video call from Tofik via Zonatelecom.

When I asked him if it was true that everything was fine, the man replied, “Yes,”- she explains.
