At the age of four months, Stasik was diagnosed with cancer in both eyes. Stas is now 6 years old and, unfortunately, the cancer has not yet been beaten.
One of his eyes can no longer see at all, and the other eye is now being fought for.
After his treatment in Russia Stasik was sent to Doctor Francis Munier at the Jules Gonin Eye Centre in Lausanne. His method of treatment saves not only eyes, but also vision, so the Lausanne Eye Clinic is one of the best in the world for treatment of retinoblastoma - cancer of retina, and Dr. Munier is one of the world leading specialists in this field of oncology. Of course, technology for treating eye cancer in Russia is also gradually developing. But so far the situation is such that there are not many organ-sparing operations. It is believed that in order to avoid risks, it is better to remove the eye (or both eyes).
Stasik's treatment in Lausanne is fully covered, and help will be needed to pay for the boy's and one of the parents' flight.
We are asking for your support. We will help him to save his eyes and his sight.
