10 years of continuous treatment

Yaroslav is already 10 years old and has been fighting a complex orphan genetic disease all his life. Tuberous sclerosis, or Bourneville-Pringle disease, is a hereditary genetic disease in which tumors or hamartomas form in many organs and systems of the body. These tumors are benign, but with multiple locations of tumors or their intensive growth, they can disrupt the functions of various organs.

Tumors in tuberous sclerosis affect almost all organs – this includes damage to the central nervous system, kidneys, heart, skin, organs of the digestive system, etc. With damage to the brain and central nervous system, patients may experience convulsions, as well as delayed mental and mental development.

Unfortunately, Yaroslav has a complicated course of this disease. There are tumors in the kidneys, heart and brain, and as a result, the boy is constantly accompanied by seizures and convulsions. As a result, the child needs constant treatment and examination. This includes an MRI of the brain, neurosurgeon consultations, examination of the kidneys, heart, and daytime sleep monitoring. It is also necessary to take expensive anticonvulsant drugs that prevent attacks. Medical expenses have completely exhausted the family budget of the Misko family, so our family is asking for help to purchase vital medicines for their son.
