Andrey has been fighting cancer for two years. He has been diagnosed with ALL in July 2019 two months before his seventh birthday.
He started to receive treatment in Ufa, and later transferred to Dima Rogachev center. In November 2019 doctors decided to start hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSTP). Unfortunately, transplant cells were rejected by the immune system. Andrey got his second with HSTP in March 2020, and since then his weak immune system needs support to fight different infections.
Ivan is 15 y.o. He was diagnosed with ALL in 2017. He has also gone through different treatments, and in 2020 doctors decided that the next step on his path to remission is HSTP. His aunt matched as a donor, and a supporter of Podari Zhizn covered all costs related to her hospitalization prior the the procedure. After the transplantation there is always some risk of viral infections attacking a weak immune system, so that’s why Ivan might need also to get Cidofovir.
Ivan went into remission and now he is back to his hometown in Kemerovo district.
Cidofovir is an anti-viral drug that help weak immunity to fight infections that are very dangerous for those who go through Bone Marrow or Hematopoietic transplantation.
UDT (from 04/30/2021) Unfortunately, Andrei lost the battle, may he rest in peace.
