08.07.2002 Elena handed 100 USD to Igor
Moskalenko's mother. This money will be
used for irradiation of his blood.
Elena bought 4 more vials of Ambisome
for Igor Moskalenko, and Gilead Co.
donated 2 more vials. Igor's condition
is very serious, but so far it is stable.
27.06.2002 Ten vials of Ambisome were bought for Igor Moskalenko and Olya
Krivonosova from the Marrow Transplantation Ward. Both children
have a fungal infecion, which may be treated only with Ambisome,
because the kidney can no longer bear other antifungal drugs.
Unfortunately, this medicine is very expensive; one vial costs
242 USD. Therefore we are asking for your help in buying it.
10.06.2002 Igor Moskalenko is in a very grave condition. He is still
suffering from aplasia, and, in this situation, he has now got sepsis.
Granulocyte transfusion may be helpful. All friends and relatives
of Igor's parents with a suitable blood group have already donated
their blood, and donors with group A(Rh-) are now badly needed.
We are asking everybody who can help Igor to respond to this plea.
And please pray for his recovery.
Since Igor Moskalenko is in such a condition, he may not take
Proleukin that was bought for him. Therefore, this medicine
was handed over to Valeria Zyuzina. She is feeling more or less
well; there is no fever, and the results of tests are good.
She is now taking Proleukin and gradually getting ready for
leaving the hospital.
20.03.2002 Igor Moskalenko had marrow transplantation on February 28.
Now he is in the early post-transplantation period, and
so far there are no complications. Igor has no fever,
but the engraftment has not yet taken place; the doctors
expect this may happen by the fourth week following the
transplantation. Six vials of Proleukin (77 039.42 roubles)
were bought for Igor.
14.03.2002 Anatoly and Tatiana transferred
100 USD for Igor Moskalenko via the online
credit card system.
10.3.2002 Elena S. transferred 100 USD for Igor Moskalenko
via the online credit card system.
9.2.2002 An anonymous contributor transferred
10 USD for Igor via the online credit card system.
5.2.2002 Irina and Maria transferred 500 USD for Natasha
Shtatnova and Igor Moskalenko (equal shares) via the
online credit card system.
Nadya Pavlova donated 100 USD for Igor via the online
credit card system.

Oh Lord, please help us, please send us kind people who will
not be indifferent to our grief!
Our son Igor, who will be fifteen in May, fell ill with leukemia.
It took only a month to make a healthy and vigorous boy almost
unrecognizable: he lost much weight, had no appetite, was
constantly dizzy, complained of abdominal pains. He could not
go to school in September; instead he was taken to a hospital,
and there we heard the terrible news: our son has myelocytic
leukemia M4. Our life stopped that very day.
Now it is our fifth month at hospital. Igor's friends and
classmates visit him. We see how they grow up and become
stronger, and our son only fades. Now he is again a little helpless
kid for me; he needs more care than a baby would.
Igor went through three blocks of chemotherapy, and now he is
constantly under a dropper. We still hope that our beloved son
will get well. We cannot imagine how we'll be able to live
without him. But Igor has to undergo marrow autotransplantation
for complete recovery. And after the transplantation, he will
need Proleukin, a very expensive medicine. One vial costs
408 USD, and we need 12 vials. My husband was formerly in the army,
now he is a pensioner and works as a security guard. I had to quit
my work six months ago. We are unable to find almost 5000 USD for
this medicine.
Our hopes only are on your compassion and kind souls. Please help
us raise the money and buy the medicine.
