NOT THE NEW YEAR STORY OF SASHA KASYANOVA "Sasha has relapsed. I'm sorry it's New Year's Eve, but I just don't know what to do. They refused us at our place of residence in Slavyansk. They sent us to the place where we were treated before. This was the message we received from Sasha's mother on December 31st. So much pain…
Sofia's strange enlargement of her tumor turned out to be a rapidly growing tumor. Even in their darkest dreams, Sophia's parents could not imagine that cancer would threaten the life of their beloved daughter. In a matter of days, the Kulikova family's life turned into a real nightmare.
Light cell sarcoma of the kidney, stage 2, high risk group - this conclusion came from the department of pathatology clinic
at the Dmitrii Rogachev Clinic. This conclusion came from the Department of Pathatology of Moscow's Dmitriy Rogachev Clinic, where Sonyechka's whole kidney was urgently transported the very next day after the operation to undergo immunohistochemical examinations and, of course, to decide on further treatment methods.
Sonyechka has already had several blocks of chemotherapy at the first surgery department of Donetsk Regional Children's Hospital. Our brilliant oncologists managed to achieve excellent results - in a short period the tumour shrank by 30%! Of course, in front of the baby it will be a long and very difficult road to recovery. But luckily, everything possible is being done for children with cancer in our country.
At the moment, the leading specialists of Ministry of Health of the Republic of DPR are negotiating with several specialized clinics in Moscow about the possibility of Sonichka's further treatment in Russia at the expense of the Russian Federation Ministry of Health.
We would like to thank our friend from Belgium Yves Vanroy again for the opportunity to help pay for immunohistochemical testing for little Sofia.
