Great sorrow in a small family

There was a big trouble in my family – my wife was diagnosed with cancer! Several years ago I met a girl-angel, fell in love with her. This angel became my wife. But it so happened that all our joint life we fight for or with something. My wife, Yuliya, is 32 years old and she is suffering from very rare disease for her age - multiple myeloma – a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. We are treating and it is very expensive. This disease has sucked us with not only all the nerves, health and money…

From the beginning of out life together we have been fought for the right to be the parents. But everything what we did and tried to create a complete family, so as the phrase goes “God did not give”. Later there was another obstacle in our path to parenthood – Yuliya was diagnosed with kidney disease – and she was strictly forbidden to give birth. We struggled with it, we treated kidneys for 3 years and did not give up, addressing to different doctors. Time passed and we decided if we can have own children we give our warmth and love to a child from the orphanage just waiting for family comfort and love. We collected the documents and became candidate for adoption. We were waiting for a meeting with our dream and instead of it like a bolt from the blue – a cancer was found! The 3rd stage of blood cancer and bone marrow. Multiple myeloma. Every word stopped our heart and shocked.

All the problems became so small and insignificant against the backdrop of one: SAVE, HELP MY LOVE!

It was found that cancer killed kidney all that time. That is why the disease was found in such terrible stage ... Three months of treatment in Cherkassy Oncology Center, several courses of chemotherapy even more ruthless planted kidney. Collecting money from relatives, friends and concerned people, Yuliya was taken for a treatment in Germany. German doctors were shocked, but for the treatment undertaken and give a good chance of recovery. But on the way to it there is one big problem - it is very heavily money. Overall, we were able to gather, we barely have enough for the first course of treatment for which is paid 23 thousand euros. The funds are almost spent, and the treatment is quite long and expensive. Chemotherapy is worth over 6000 USD per injection, which must have at least eight! Besides, Yuliya has to constantly undergo hemodialysis for kidney support. In Cherkassy one such procedure costs 1400 USD, and they must be 3 per week throughout the treatment period, which is at least 3 months.

Treatment in Germany shows positive results - a young body fights and WANT TO LIVE! There is a hope for recovery, and we do not lose hope to have a happy and complete family! We believe that God will help us to overcome this serious disease, and that little baby who dreams of family warmth and affection of mom and dad will wait until us. I'm sorry if something is wrong written. I very rarely these terrible events turned for help, but now I'm cornered. I always thought that money was not important and they could not buy health, but now only for them and with your help, you can buy the life of a loved one! Shytyk Igor, Yuliya’s husband.
