News

09.10.08 Alexei died at home. Please pray for the boy's family.

20.06.07 We regret to say that high-dose chemotherapy did not lead to improvement in Alexei's case, and therefore transplantation is impossible. He will go home to receive palliative therapy.

 


They have helped

 

I am Alexei Pastushchin's mother. My child is five years old now. And when he fell ill in 2004, he was only two. When we got to the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital, we learned that he had a retroperitoneal tumor. The diagnosis was ganglioblastoma. After combined treatment (chemotherapy and surgery), we were discharged from hospital. But my boy fell ill again a year later. Now he had tumor cells in his bone marrow. Some of these cells still remain after treatment at the Department of Oncology. This means that we will need expensive drugs for further therapy. But I cannot pay for them now. I also have another son, who is in his third school year, and our family income is barely sufficient for daily life. I rely only on your help.

With gratitude,
