Urgent fundraising for special medicines and dressings for 27-year-old Nikita. Now the young man is in the clinic of the Ministry of Emergencies in St. Petersburg.
Nikita has a severe congenital skin disease - epidermolysis bullosa, a dystrophic form. Due to a genetic breakdown, his skin is very fragile and easily injured. Bubbles form at the site of damage. Bursting, they leave open wounds that hurt and bleed, and can become infected.
All his life Nikita has to constantly treat his wounds, make bandages with special soft breathable bandages and bandages and avoid injuries. This makes him feel good.
However, the dystrophic form of a certain subtype of epidermolysis bullosa is often complicated by oncology. Unfortunately, this happened to Nikita as well. In the fall of 2020, he noticed non-healing wounds on the skin of the lower back, abdomen and groin. Nikita periodically began to feel fever, and he became very weak. In March 2021, doctors performed a biopsy and made an alarming diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma.
Now Nikita is not feeling well. Due to the severe course of epidermolysis bullosa and the progression of the tumor, the doctors decided not to have an operation, but to give Nikita a course of biological targeted therapy. Supportive therapy was also prescribed. Nikita's condition is monitored by oncologists, a surgeon, a dermatologist, a gastroenterologist, a nutritionist, a pain specialist and other specialists. After several stages of treatment, the doctors decided to change the anticancer drug to a new drug - an immuno-oncological drug. Now Nikita needs one bottle.
In addition, even in this grave condition, Nikita still needs to be bandaged. They are very painful - there is practically no skin on Nikita's body - and take up to 6 hours a day, but you cannot live without them. Thanks to them, Nikita has a chance to stay healthy.
To purchase one bottle of an anticancer drug and a new batch of medicines for Nikita, 300 thousand rubles are required. This is enough to provide him with everything he needs for a month and start a new stage of anticancer treatment. If we unite, a young person will have a chance to defeat cancer and return to normal life.
