Comfort and calmness are the main values of nine-year-old Salim. He prefers cognitive leisure over childish enthusiasm. Over the years of continuous struggle with cancer, the boy has learned to care about himself and his body.
At the age of three, Salim was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Doctors gave him a full course of treatment at the regional medical facility in his place of residence. The therapy lasted two and a half years and was safely completed in June 2018. A month later, Salim's condition suddenly deteriorated. An unscheduled examination confirmed a recurrence of the disease. The road to recovery had to start all over again.
Now Salim and his mother arrived in St. Petersburg, where the finish line in the confrontation with leukemia was to be a bone marrow transplant at the R. M. Gorbacheva clinic. The surgery was performed two years ago in January. The donor was his mother. But after some time, the boy developed a serious complication: a "graft vs. host" reaction, attacking the skin and mucous membranes of the child.
Salim dreams of living in his own home, traveling the world and communicating with friends without unnecessary fears and restrictions. The boy is sure that regardless of his choice of future profession, he will always support those who need help, like he does now.
To cope with complications after surgery, Salim needs antifungal therapy with the medicine Noxafil. The medicine is not currently available at the clinic's pharmacy, and the boy needs treatment now. Salim and his family are counting on your support. Let's help the boy to recover together!
