My son Sasha is 16. He is studying to be a hairdresser. He likes cars and computers, just like other teenagers. He is in a very difficult situation, however. Sasha was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, and he is now at the pediatric oncology unit of city hospital No.31.
Sasha does not tolerate chemotherapy well. For every chemotherapy block, he needs donations of blood type II(+). During the first block, he also needed expensive drug Diflucan. He may also need other medications during the long treatment that is still ahead of him.
Sasha's younger brother is 12. I work as a decorator for the department store in Pushkin, but I am currently staying with my son at the hospital.
We are all hoping that Sasha will recover. Nowadays, leukemia can be treated successfully. We will be grateful for any help.
Since I stay with Sasha all the time, the bank account was opened in the name of my sister.
