Save Egor from insidious leukosis

Unfortunately, Yegor died. The UBB team brings our most sincere words of condolence to the boy's own son, who so bravely fought for his life. The words of the doctors which Egorka's parents heard a year ago sounded like a judgment: a rare form of leukemia, only bone marrow transplantation will help the child. The whole country, we saved Egorka collecting funds for treatment in Turkey. The second transplantation was followed by the first one – the doctors do it in April, although the treatment was not paid in full: in fact, the doctors lent him a chance to survive. Now we need to find $ 20,000 to pay for transplantation, and also for post-operative rehabilitation and examinations.

After preparatory chemotherapy Egorka received a bone marrow transplant from his father in the middle of April ( they did not find donor it the international bank, and he could not wait any longer, because every day Egor's chances dropped precipitously. And then the hard weeks continued: Egor had high fever, vomiting, diarrhea. He did not eat anything, lived on artificial nutrition during two weeks. Mother spent days and nights at the bedside of her son, in fear and hope. The cause was found in a fungal infection that settled in the esophagus. Thank God, the problem was solved with the help of antibiotics and now the kid feels much better, and even doctors let him go to the apartment!

Egor lost 20% of his weight in the hospital, but now he gains weight on his mother's delicious at home. But legs are still aching and Egorka is limping. The parents are looking forward to the results of analysis, his blood was taken in order to determine if the bone marrow was adopted. Such analysis will need to do regularly next months: the situation may change at any moment. That”s why our fists and prayers are very necessary for Egor!

The kid has become afraid of white robes even more than before: he shouts and cries on sight of doctors. He does not know yet how much the Turkish doctors have done for him, he does not understand how many people participated in this life-saving operation. We believe that Egor will grow up and understand everything and the feeling of gratitude will one day make him look at the world differently.

But now you need to pay the debt of the clinic and raise funds for boy's rehabilitation. We ask for all of the not indifferent people to support Egorka again!
