Hello!
My name is Vladimir Frantsev, I am 56 years old. A year ago I was full of life and energy, but it all changed dramatically in one moment. All of a sudden I felt very bad and was diagnosed with a terrible disease: multiple myeloma, stage IIIA, multiple osteodestructions.
A painful treatment course began. I had four awfully hard chemotherapy courses and then on June 29, 2010 I underwent an autologous bone marrow transplantation at the Pavlov State Medical University of St. Petersburg. Transplantation resulted in serious lung complications.
I need expensive drugs: Vfend, Zometa, Talidomit. As a pensioner, I cannot afford to buy those drugs. Thus, one pack of Vfend only enough for a week costs 30,000 roubles.
I have to take all of the drugs for a long time.
Please help me buy the necessary drugs. Thank you all very much for your support.
