Cancer Kids Ukraine

Bogdan Shinder continues treatment at the Cancer Institute in Kiev. On May 28, he started the seventh block of chemotherapy. He was supposed to start it a week ago but had a very low blood count. Prior to the sixth block, his blood count improved by itself. This time, Bogdan had to receive the thrombocyte concentrate. From May 12 to May 24, Bogdan was staying at the hospital with his father because his mother had to go home to take her daughter to the hospital. As we have mentioned on Bogdan’s personal page, his sister had difficulties coping with a number of problems: her mother’s sickness, her father’s accidental burn, her brother’s sickness, etc. As a result, she had headaches, easy fatigability, and joint pain. The doctors suspected rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks God, they were wrong. The girl has nervous system disorder and needs some sedatives.

After the eighth block of chemotherapy, Bogdan will have to go to Moscow for MIBG and for the surgery. Bogdan has anemia of the fourth degree. The hospital is unable to provide him with the necessary medications. Bogdan needs Eprex (one injection every two days). One ampule of Eprex costs about $50. Bogdan’s parents are asking you to help them with purchasing that medication and also with raising the money they need to take Bogdan to the hospital in Moscow.
