Other Gennady's photos

Hello, My name is Larisa Shumskaya. I am a wife of Gennady Makeev, a patient at Hematology Unit of Alexandrovskaya hospital #17. At the end of April 2010, my husband was diagnosed with acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia. He started cycles of chemotherapy and treatment with expensive medications. Unfortunately, chemotherapy alone will not cure Gennady. He needs bone marrow transplantation – this is his only chance to live. The donor search is done at the international registry, because there is not one in Russia. The donor search costs 15,000 euros, and delivery of transplant to St. Petersburg costs additional 2,500 euros. We do not have this much money. Gennady and I have three sons. He is a caring father and loving husband. In October 2009 Gennady lost his job.
I am a teacher and my salary is modest. I am currently the only breadwinner in the family. We would very much appreciate financial support to continue Gennady's treatment. We are hoping for your help.

Respectfully,
Makeev family

Medical conclusion

Update as of September 10, 2010. Unfortunately, Gennady's sister did not match as a donor. He also does not have potential donors at the International registry. Haploidentical transplantation from his sister is under discussion.

Update as of May 29, 2011. Gennady is continuing the maintenance therapy. He is not feeling well as he is recovering after the latest chemotherapy cycle. Once the blood counts are back to normal, he will have to take Sprycel on a regular basis again.

Update as of October 31, 2011. Gennady receives maintenance chemotherapy and Sprycel. He feels rather well, but only has medications for a month of intake. He cannot receive any more under free medication program, and his letters to Health Ministry went unanswered. He may need charitable help.
