My son Sasha was born on June 7, 1994. He was growing up as a quiet and active boy. He enjoyed going to preschool, loved playing with clay and building models.
He was a good student at school, and liked to play chess and volleyball. Sasha did not have many children's illnesses, except for chickenpox when he was 5. He really likes computers and dreams of becoming a programmer. Sasha got sick when he was 15. On March 7, 2009 we noticed a bump on his neck. We went to a local clinic where Sasha was given antibiotics and nothing else. The doctors could not even bring down Sasha's temperature that stayed at 38.5-39C.
We managed to get a referral to the regional clinic in Krasnodar. At the clinic, Sasha was examined and diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was started on chemotherapy and treated for two months, but in June Sasha got a new tumor and had a relapse. It was biopsied and a new diagnosis was established: anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
We continued chemotherapy and Sasha had many complications along with it. And now we are referred to R. Gorbacheva Pediatric Hematology and Transplantology Institute in St. Petersburg for bone marrow transplantation. We came for further treatment with hope that we will be helped and Sasha will be cured. We believe in it. Please help us with living expenses in St. Petersburg for the period of treatment, as well as with buying medications.
Thank you very much!
