A brain tumor can take Oleg's life. 5

Oleh Yeromchenko has been fighting brain cancer for 3 years. Behind are the most complicated operations, optic nerve failure, epileptic seizures and numerous chemo and radiation therapies. Despite all the difficulties and difficulties, he does not give up and does not stand out. And already has amazing successes in treatment. So successful that his attending physician wants to give an example of Oleh’s treatment in his dissertation.

This boy attends school on a par with his classmates. He tries and does not want to be different from healthy children. And in this the class helps and supports him a lot.
Despite the problems with vision, and Oleh does not see with his right eye, and his left with poor eyes, he studies very well. Loves math very much.

Oleh is very good-natured, with a strong character and reliable in friendship. He has many friends. Before the illness, the boy was engaged in taekwondo and football, signed up for dancing. "But now, unfortunately, he cannot engage in active sports, – says Oleh’s mother, – and he really wants to ..." Not a minute sitting idle. Now Oleh is interested in studying English and Ukrainian.

He is a very responsible boy, not all adults can be relied on as he is. Oleh loves his little brother, whom he really wanted and was waiting for. He can sit with him, change clothes, wash and feed him. And he doesn’t refuse to help mother: he will wash the dishes and wipe the dust ...

"We have been taking Zelboraf for 1 year and 9 months, – writes mother of Oleh. - This drug gave great hope and we have tremendous positive results that the doctors themselves did not believe in! The tumor stopped growing and the metastases are gone !! But we need to finish the course of treatment. The drug is very expensive for our family. We love our boy very much! And we believe that everything will be fine!"

Earlier at UBB we had already raised funds for Oleg. You can view previous projects by the link.
