6) The third recurrence

Until the spring of 1999 went well with Shifra. She was quickly recovered from the stem cell and it seemed that the cancer had finally disappeared. Unfortunately in May 1999, during a vacation in Israel, Shifra was ill and there appeared a swelling behind her both eyes. Back in the Netherlands showed that the leukemia research for the third time had come back and swelling behind her eyes was a kind of tumor. Her blood was found in mid-June to comprise 85% leukemia cells. (Editors note: detailed report on that later).

The last wish of Shifra and her father was a music video which included Cor with Shifra sings a song and that the funeral would be shown. (See pictures documentary "If necessary Cross"). Meanwhile, Marina and Cor at Valstar informed that there maybe something would have to Shifra's life a few months. Valstar is when beside the other men's supplements include two new cancer drugs given. Palparera and Rauwolfia. Literature shows that these two ingredients combined with vinchristine (a chemo) remarkable results in adults. Cor and Marina chose these drugs also Shhifra it. And if a miracle recovery Shifra its recurrence. In August 2000, so six weeks from the observation of Shifra's blood from 85% leukemic cells, while a study in Leiden can no longer detectable leukemia. The doctors are baffled. This is where they never know anywhere else in the world to come. Recovering from third recurrence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia seemed statistically impossible.
