Good day! My name is Larisa Maslennikova. I am asking for help for my son Vladimir with treatment of cancer. Volodya is 31. His main diagnosis is stage IV-B lymphogranulomatosis with nodular sclerosis and metastases in peripheral lymph nodes, spleen and lungs. The main complication is stage III cytological neutropenia. Vladimir needs highly complex therapy.
My husband and I are retired. Our pensions are small and we cannot afford quality treatment and food for our son.
Please help us!
