Another Anna's photo

Anna Kudryavtseva is 27. She has a 2.5-year-old daughter Nastia. Anna is from Naberezhnye Chelny, a city in Tatarstan. In December 2007, Anna was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (M-4). From February to April 2008, she was administered two rounds of chemotherapy at Hematology Science Center in Moscow, and subsequently Anna achieved remission. In May and June of the same year, she underwent a course of chemotherapy in Bochum in Germany. The complete remission was confirmed.
However, in February 2009, during a test in Germany, Anna was diagnosed with a relapse.
Since March 2009, she has been undergoing treatment at R. Gorbacheva Pediatric Institute for Hematology and Transplantology. On June 25th she started the third course of high-dosage chemotherapy, after which bone marrow transplantation is scheduled to take place.
We need a lot of money for Anna's treatment, donor search and medications.
Please help us save Anyuta!
