Kirill received the medicine!

Hospitals are a second home for Kirill and his mother Irina. The boy first went to the hospital in 2014, when he was five years old. And since then he has been fighting for life. Kirill grew up as a calm and thoughtful boy since childhood. In kindergarten, he was the only boy who liked to collect puzzles, color pictures, and not run around with cars. Although the boy was not active along with everyone else, but got along well with children and easily made friends. At some point, little Kirill began to lose strength and appetite, and the desire to do something dissipated into thin air. "My son was getting worse and worse, and it was happening very quickly," says mother Irina. - He almost stopped eating, began to walk badly. That's when we went to the hospital." Panic gripped the Kalugin family. The hospital diagnosed him with subluxation of the atlantum. This is a dislocation of the first two vertebrae, which strongly affects the blood circulation of the brain. It was scary and unclear what to do next, because there were no preconditions for the severe disease. The boy was lying on a traction machine for a month and a half. But it didn't help. Then doctors prescribed a special collar for his neck. After a month the collar was taken off and Kirill lost consciousness. Again there was panic, incomprehension, and fear. And then a new examination began. At the children's regional hospital, Kirill received a referral to a neurosurgeon. Then the doctor noticed that the boy could not focus his eyes on one thing for more than a few seconds. An MRI was ordered. The scans showed a tumor. It was diagnosed as medulloblastoma. It's a malignant brain tumor. It was a fast growing tumor. On August 19, 2014 I had an operation to remove the tumor. After the surgery there was a hard and long recovery. The boy was learning to walk, talk, and live again. Then life began anew and time flew by at the speed of light. Several years flew by like an instant: two years and eleven months of remission. Then the disease came back into Kirill's life. Again the treatment: chemotherapy courses, constant injections and IVs. "My son is strong and patient, he never showed that he was in pain, he kept up all the treatments," my mother says. The disease receded, and Kirill won again. Ten months of happiness, but joy quickly gave way to anger and fear. Now Kirill is 12 years old. Another relapse occurred. The boy's body became weaker, with not so much strength to fight anymore. The boy almost stopped walking, talks little, rarely takes a tablet in his hands to play his favorite games. But it is still possible to help the boy to return to his usual life! He needs medication Temodal. The cost of one course of treatment for Kirill Kalugin is 110,950 rubles. The Kalugin family has not been able to buy the medicine themselves for many years, so they had to apply to the foundation. Together with you, we can help Kirill win another battle.
