Stas fights with cancer for the third time

Stas fights for the second year with ameloblastic fibrosarcoma. He already fights with a third recurrence of the disease and is determined to come out the winner, because real men never gives up! So speaks a 12-year-old boy. To make Stas treatment that has already produced a positive result being continued, the boy needs 36 bottles of Holoksan for 3 blocks of "chemo" which should help him overcome the disease for the third time and finally get well!

"Stas - our only son, daddy helper and my pride - says the boy's mother Yana. - It hurts to think about the moment when our life was suddenly divided into "before" and "after"… In March 2013 our family faced a terrifying ordeal. Our son was diagnosed with a rare malignant tumor in his mouth cavity. This awful diagnosis was followed by a number of examinations, consultations, various tests, biopsy and surgeries. The physicians had to dissect our son’s face twice and remove his malar bone, as well as a part of his upper jaw and palate. My boy’s face is covered with scars. We are not losing hope despite all the trials he is going through. Stas still has a positive outlook for the future. “I am ready to overcome all the obstacles to recovery” – my son repeats every time and this way he never lets me lose heart.

Cancer has stolen from my son the opportunity to enjoy his favourite activities and live his normal life. His favourite swimming circle and hanging out with friends was now in the past. He had to stop going to school. Stas now has serious speech difficulties and even basic talking is not an easy task for him these days.

His biggest dream is to become healthy again. Stas is looking forward to reaching all his goals. He dreams of becoming a computer programmer and creating computer games. I believe my son can one day forget about pain and return to his normal life. We really need money as we have completely spent all our savings now!"
