Hello!
I am a father of Shamil Gasymzade.
On May 20th while playing at his preschool, Shamil fell down and got jaw
trauma with large swelling. We went to a doctor who removed one of Shamil's
teeth and installed drainage. We were told to return for a checkup in a
month. When we came back, we were told that we better go to see an
oncologist in Baku.
After biopsy and other tests, Shamil was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma.
He had operation and radiation therapy. Then the doctors told us they did
everything they could and that Shamil now needed chemotherapy. However,
there are no pediatric oncologists in Baku. We were advised to travel to
Russia for treatment.
We came to St. Petersburg and underwent testing. Here Shamil got a new
diagnosis: malignant b-cell lymphoma with metastases in neck and
supraclavicular lymph nodes and skull bone. It means the initial diagnosis
was wrong and our son received inappropriate treatment. We are currently on
treatment at Petrov Oncology Research Institute where Shamil is receiving
chemotherapy.
Since we are foreign citizens, we pay full cost of treatment. I am the only
breadwinner in the family. Shamil's mother stays with him at the hospital.
In Azerbaijan we have three more children who are now with their grandmother.
Please help us with paying for treatment and medications. We are very
grateful to you for any help in advance.

Update as of December 10, 2009.
My son is undergoing another round of chemotherapy with
Doxorubicin and Vincristine. He feels well. His temperature
and blood test results are normal.
We would like to thank everyone for help!
Shamil's father
Update as of January 12, 2010.
On January 13th Shamil will start third chemotherapy round.
He feels well, eats well, plays, draws, sings and reads.
We are hoping he will stay just as positive until the end
of treatment.
However, with the start of the new course,
we have new problems. We need money for
medications and tests.
Since October 2009 we paid 70,000 rubles for treatment.
Our family catastrophically lacks money. Please help us with
paying for treatment and renting an apartment.
Thank you in advance!
Shamil's father
Update as of January 27, 2010.
Shamil is undergoing another cycle of chemotherapy. He was prescribed
Diflucan to prevent fungal infection.
Update as of February 16, 2010.
We were transferred to R. Gorbacheva Pediatric Hematology and
Transplantology Institute for further treatment. After an examination,
Shamil is planned to go for autologous transplantation.
Shamil's father
Update as of February 20, 2010.
Examination results testify to stabilization but Shamil is not in remission
yet. He will now have his cells harvested for autotransplantation, after
that the boy will go back to the Research Institute of Oncology for two
more chemotherapy courses. Then there will be another examination which
will help make a decision on the transplantation.
