Children are dying in oncology departments. I learned this terrible fact six months after I started volunteering. It was a girl named Olya with Down syndrome. She died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I still remember the shock I felt. How could it be, after all the treatment had yielded results and suddenly everything was so ... My second loss…
THE COLLECTION FOR ILYA BIRYUKOV IS CLOSED AND WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE LIFE-SAVING MEDICATIONS!!!
I can't believe how many people responded to the tragedy that happened to Ilyusha!
News about Iliya's condition!
Our medical specialists managed to stabilize his condition. We were even allowed to congratulate our birthday boy. After the shock he went through (he had septic shock and kidney failure) he is still very weak. But still found the strength to smile! It was so touching - almost all children from the Chemotherapy Department came to support and congratulate him. We had to stop the chemotherapy for now, and the recovery period may take up to 3-4 weeks.
We are thankful to everyone who participated in saving this boy's life - Ilyusha has received all the medicines he needs at this stage.
