Evgeniy died on September 8, 2011
Hello!
I am writing to you out of desperation and hopelessness. I need help! My
name is Evgeniy Andrianov. I am 29 years old. I am sick
with acute myeloblastic leukemia.
For the last three months I have not left the hospital walls. I was administered
three courses of chemotherapy. I will also need an operation, bone marrow
transplantation. The search for a donor at the international registry costs
a lot of money – 15,000 euros. I also need to raise 2,500 euros for delivery
of bone marrow from the European collection center to St. Petersburg.
My relatives can afford only a small part of this amount. They live in the
country, and are not well off. I am hoping that there are people with kind
hearts who can feel others' pain and despair. I understand that we are
complete strangers, but none of us is guaranteed from disease or death.
Any amount of help will support me. Please help me. I am grateful in advance
ot everyone who responds.
Galina Andrianova
Epicrisis
Medical conclusion
Update as of August 23, 2009.
Based on results of typing and preliminary
search, Evgeniy does not have matching donors at the international registry.
Further treatment strategy is under discussion.
Update as of August 11, 2010.
Evgeniy was recommended to undergo haploidentical transplantation from one
of his parents. There are no other treatment options. It means that he
will be billed 250,000 rubles for the special equipment to process donor's
stem cells. The invoice will be issued in a few days.

Bill for the special equipment to process donor's
stem cells
Update as of September 29, 2010.
It's been three weeks since Zhenya underwent haploidentical bone marrow
transplantation. The blood values have restored to normal, there are no blasts
or manifestations of graft-versus-host-disease. The costs of the transplantation
equipment could be met thanks to Captain Nemo's donation.
Update as of October 22, 2010.
Zhenya is in remission. Donor's bone marrow engrafted at 100%. However, he
keeps running fever for unknown reason.
Update as of November 24, 2010.
Evgeniy is on outpatient treatment in the
day hospital. He used to have skin GVHD of 3rd degree, but now the situation
has improved considerably. The central catheter has been removed and now
Evgeniy receives all medication in pills. Unfortunately, the problem with
intestines appeared - it might be due to intestinal GVHD, so he needs to
undergo the necessary testing. Besides, Evgeniy started coughing again, even
though lung aspergillosis was not confirmed during the last computer
tomography (a month ago); testing at Institute of Invasive Mycoses will
likely be required.
Evgeniy and his mother Galina Anatolievna asked to
express the words of great gratitude to Olga Semenovna Uspensky, the
treating doctor of Evgenii, Sergei Nikolayevich Bondarenko, the head of the
department, and all nurses, donors and volunteers, who help Evgeniy fight
his illness.
Update as of December 9, 2010.
Evgeniy is under outpatient care, continues to take hormones,
and still needs Vfend. He feels well.
Update as of January 17, 2011.
Zhenya has hypofunctioning transplant, and additonal infusion
of stem cells is planned. He was diagnosed with cytomegalovirus
and aspergillosis and receieves therapy with Cymevene and Vfend.
He feels rather well.
Update as of March 10, 2011.
The transplant is functioning the way it should, the basic disease
is in remission. Evgeniy is at the day care unit. He still needs Vfend.
Update as of May 4, 2011.
Zhenya had an attack of the skin GVH disease. The doctors plan to
administer photopheresis. An examination revealed a high cytomegalovirus
titre, so he will need antiviral therapy. Vfend has been replaced with Orungal.
Zhenya's mother
Update as of May 29, 2011.
Zhenya is feeling much better, there are no signs of the GVHD,
and cytomegalovirus titer is negative. Based on the puncture
results, the cells have increased to 80% but the myelodysplastic
syndrome is still there. Also, the platelet count is too low,
so Zhenya is taking Nplate. Zhenya is feeling OK, he working
on his physical shape and trying to walk a lot. He needs
Orungal and Geptral on a regular basis.
Update as of July 17, 2011.
Zhenya was hospitalized at the clinic due to progression of intestinal GVHD.
After hormonal therapy his condition improved, but his blood sugar rose.
He has low blood counts (thrombocytopenia) and needs constant platelet
transfusions. He is in remission. Donor's bone marrow engrafted at 95%
and it has 80% cellularity.
