10 July 2008
The volunteer of AdVita in Germany Ania informs: “Only
one thing disturbs Sasha now - grip. So, that it would not
develop into pneumonia, Sasha receives intravenous antibiotic.
Would be good to remove catheter, but in Kiev no hospital
dears to do it. On July 11 Sasha will have his 3rd birthday.
06.06.2008. Sasha feels not bed - has passed already two
courses of Temodal. Besides Temodal Sasha assumes the large
dose of food supplements.
06.05.2008. Because of the antibiotics Sasha sufficiently
rapidly recovered from bronchitis. On dexamethasone the little-one
ate better. He feels good. On May 4 Sasha with the parents
left back to Kiev… As the supporting therapy doctors
recommend the assuming of Temodal: 5 days course, 15 days
interruption. Such course of Temodal costs minimum 708 Euros.
Help is again necessary!
17.04.2008. After the revision of CT-scan photographs the
increase in volume of the tumor and the presence of metastases
were discovered. Further treatment was not proposed. To the
child doctors only have increased the dose of dexamethasone.
Sasha’s father quickly leaves for Berlin. Now we search
for other possibilities to continue the treatment of the little
one.
7 april 2008
The volunteer of AdVita in Germany Ania informs: “Sasha
feels well, he takes a rest after chemotherapy … In
April Sasha will go to the rehabilitation centre for children
with neurological diseases.
The boy needs rehabilitation treatment as at the age of 2,5
years he does not yet sit independently and without a support,
does not creep, does not speak, practically does not drink
independently and can eat only porridges. But he attempts
to sit basing on his arms and due to this develops a strong
curvature of a backbone which demands orthopedic treatment.
Therefore the Berlin doctors have decided to send him in the
specialized centre... We yet do not know, how much will expenses
be for this stage of treatment, and as well for the already
carried out treatment. But already it is now clear, that remaining
on the account of clinic money will not suffice...
Operation on removal of spokes from a leg at the end of March
has passed successfully. Soon after awakening, Sasha has grasped
the bed edges and for the first time set up without mother's
help! ”
27 January 2008
Sasha's mum gave us a good news: "A while ago a new scan
was made and it shows that the tumor has disappeared from
the neck part of vertebra. The boy can sit by himself. I'm
very thankful to all who helps us."

Belgium company Schering-Plough has agreed to provide free

"Sasha was our unique and long-awaited son.
Now he’s one year and four months. It was the cheerful child.
There was a spring and we drew only the bright future. But at the
end of April 2006 our kid’s health began to be worsened, he
began languid, sad, refused food, vomiting has appeared. At medical
inspection the terrible diagnosis was revealed - a tumor of a brain.
It seemed, that life has stopped, that it is simply terrible dream.
But the most terrible expected ahead.
On April, 21 he was put in the Institute of Neurosurgery
Romodanov for realization of operation on removal of a tumor, doctors
have put all over again the shunt for outflow of a liquid from a
head, but after the treatment the child became absolutely bad: eyes
rolled upwards, a swallow reflex was gone, the mouth was constantly
open, the child has left in itself, during dream eyes were not closed.
Because of dehydration, he became similar to a small dried up old
man. The body began to leave liquid excrement of black color, and
a mouth was vomiting bloody slices. The basic operation on removal
of a tumor was cancelled. The attending physician has told, that
he will die on an operational table. To us the further steps have
being explained - couple of days he will remain with us, then in
reanimations the kid will enter into medicamentous dream and all
everything will be finished. We could not believe and prayed to
God. The kid has survived and on May 25, as the boy was not subject
to treatment, we were sent home. I have gone to Moscow’s Institute
of Burdenko with the x-rays and analyses, but there was a categorical
refusal about realization of operation.
The fortune has sent us the woman who has offered
a financial help. We have got to Germany, to Frankfurt am Main.
German doctors have made impossible - unique operation (operation
lasted for 7,5 hours on 4 July 2006), but because of bad localization
of a tumor and growing into a trunk of a brain, surgeons have removed
only 80 %. The conclusion of histology - anaplastic ependimom (3-rd
grade). In two weeks after operation the kid has opened eyes, which
was like a miracle. Gradually he started to move hands, then on
the sly to eat without a probe. We have come back home for passage
of chemotherapy treatment. Unfortunately, after the first block
of chemistry a sharp deterioration of state of health was concluded,
and it became clear, that he might not transfer the following block,
and it is possible to do an irradiation only after three years.
And still our boy the every prospect has appeared
to live. Now he is absolutely adequate child, laughs, plays with
toys. One of these days he has told the first word "mum".
Unfortunately, illness has not disappears and
it is necessary to struggle. But the big financial means are necessary
for passage of such therapy, supporting and regenerative therapy
which are very expensive. The salary of my husband hardly suffice
on the most necessary. All help which was rendered, is already spent
on treatment.
We shall be very grateful, if you render us a
financial support in realization of the further treatment. The kid
has passed very difficult and long way to a present condition. We
hope, that the most terrible is behind, but without your help it
is almost unreal.
In turn we can share experience and the information with parents
of same children.”
