Hello,
We are parents of a 9-year-old Artem Revyagin from Ulyanovsk region. In
August 2007 our son got sick with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At the 36th
day of treatment, despite expectations, Artem did not achieve remission. He
was prescribed 6 cycles of high-dose chemotherapy. Each cycle was very
difficult for him. All the blood counts were falling to zero, and infections
attacked (Artem had sepsis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis of femur that required
2 surgeries, and lip abscess). He tolerated everything stoically, killing
"bad cells" by the power of his mind.
Artem is naturally a very quiet and silent child. It really hurt me to see a
few tears roll down his cheeks from time to time. Seven months later, a
long-awaited remission was finally achieved. Then Artem had radiation therapy
and maintenance therapy. How joyous we were when all of this was finished! But
we were only happy for a month – then a relapse occurred, and all the colors
outside our window faded away again. Tema had to go through two cycles of
high-dose chemotherapy, and the doctors were looking away. But his enormous
desire to live and great plans for the future took over the "bad cells"
at the end.
Artem is completing 2nd grade. He loves math and constructor sets, and Valery
Meladze's music. My son is a very serious and mature boy for his age. Five
months later, he had a second relapse. The doctors are telling us that he
needs bone marrow transplantation: it is the only chance for Artem to live.
The donor search at the international registry costs 15,000 euros, and delivery
of transplant costs additional 2,500 euros. The precious time is passing by,
and our son really wants to live! We plead you: please help us raise money
and save our son!
Update as of August 26, 2010.
Based on puncture results we received today. Artem had a relapse
(36% ob blasts in bone marrow). Urgent haploidentical transplantation
from one of the parents is under discussion. Artem's mom was already
typed, and his father was called in and he will be tested on Monday.
The donor search at the registry is put on hold for now.
Artem's family will need close to 500,000 rubles to pay for the
special equipment.
