Sergiy Melnychuk - again to Essen. A child needs financial assistance!

Only recently Sergiy returned from the second test in Essen as on February 27 starts next one. The boy has got in his left eye retinoblastoma with very atypical course because it manifested in his case in the age of five, not in one year as usually.

             The boy must go to Germany for checking every 3-4 weeks as German doctors want some time to observe the child before prescribing his treatment.

            Sergiy was in the University Clinic in Essen twice. It is not observed tumor growth after the last test, it remains in previous size a dimmed, relapse fortunately have been identified. Next reviews are needed to capture the smallest changes of the disease because a malignant tumor may behave unpredictably. German doctors discharged Sergiy glasses to improve vision for a healthy eye. Medical examination of parents did not confirm the heredity of the disease.

            As for the trip, Sergiy really liked it :). Sergiy and his parents like the attitude of doctors who were trying all means to distract children from painful procedures. They also liked walking in the park. In addition to this trip Sergiy and boy Kostya from Kyiv became friends. In general, Sergiy had got many good memories from Germany as a boy from the village and it was his first long trip. It's a pity only that they are associated with disease.

            Parents spent 2600 euro in the first trip, 270 euro for the test, it was spent very much for interpreter - 900 euro, tickets cost 1109 euro, and other remaining related costs. Next trip cost a little less than previous one - 2200 euro. Currently, parents are advised interpreter, whose services are much cheaper, with previous experience they already know, how and where they can save.

            But they must have at least 1000-1500 euro per trip because Sergiy is 5 years old already and parents have to pay for him everywhere - in the plane, in the guest house. 500 hrn are transferred to the account fund now - a huge thank you! Every copeck is very important for the family. Parents of boys hope to get help from not indifferent people and they are grateful for the support of their son. Please help a child to undergo a health examination! The funds can be transferred to the Fund, indicating the purpose: Voluntary donation for Melnychuk Sergiy.
