The diagnosis of three year old Agata Golovchenko from Kyrgyzstan- stage 4 neuroblastoma - is one of the most aggressive cancers. Since January 2021, she has been undergoing treatment at the Voyno-Yasenetsky Medical Center. Treatment for cancer is a long and hard process. After six months of treatment, she underwent six chemotherapy sessions and a long, hard surgery. The tumor was removed along with the adrenal gland, which it covered.
A new, even more difficult, but vitally necessary stage lies ahead - bone marrow transplantation, which will be performed in St. Petersburg in the Institute of Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Transplantology. R.M. Gorbacheva. After a course of high-dose chemotherapy Agatha will receive her own healthy pre-picked and frozen bone marrow cells. Doctors say the transplant is the only way to eradicate the remaining cancer cells, which can't be treated with chemotherapy and surgery.
Agata's mother told me that all animals are attracted to her: strange dogs run up to her on the street, cats rub her feet, and when she puts her hand into the aquarium, all the fish swim up to her palm. Little Agatha looks like the sun.
The Nastenka Foundation paid for a bone marrow transplant worth 1,000,000 rubles. Together with Agatha's parents we will be very grateful for your help.
It is very important that the transplant takes place as scheduled!
