Andrei Danchenko

Andrei does not have a child's eye and is not at all childish.

Andrei is a typical modern teenager who doesn't part with his gadgets. In the oncohematology department of the INVH in Donetsk, where the boy is being treated, this is the only entertainment. Andrei escapes into the virtual world to forget that he has cancer. Hodgkin's lymphoma has been attacking Andrei's body from the inside for months. Everything began very innocuous - a terrible disease masquerading as an allergy. Coughing fits and itching all over the body were not helped by the usual medications. Until one day Andrew just could not breathe. The boy was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. A CT scan showed a huge tumor in his chest. When Andrew was transferred to the Oncology Center, he could neither walk nor lie down. He just sat bent in half - so the tumor was less pressing, and Andrew could breathe. Andrei will have to undergo a long and difficult treatment - 12 blocks of high dose chemotherapy. At 14 Andrej has already become the main man in the family - Andrej's father left them. Andrei's mother had to quit her job and dedicate all of her time to the treatment of her son. The family simply does not have money for the treatment.
They are collecting money for medical examinations and chemotherapy.

Radiotherapy and continuation of chemotherapy are ahead according to the treatment protocol. Andrey will have to go to Moscow - before the start of radiotherapy he will have a PET CT scan on a high-precision machine, which is not available in Donetsk. The CT scan will show how far the tumorous process has spread and whether the organs have metastases.
Andrei has every chance to fight the cancer and become healthy. But the family still needs help to do this.
