Yuriy Surzhikov, DOB April 13, 2004, tumor of the fourth ventricle of cerebrum, obstructive internal hydrocephaly
By admin. Filed in They Need Help |
Yuriy was born on April 13, 2004. He was the second child in our family. Now I am pregnant with the third child. The only disease he had in his early childhood was bronchitis. When Yuriy was three years old, someone hit him on the head with a swing. He got brain concussion, which was accompanied by pain and vomiting. The doctors diagnozed him with tumor of the fourth ventricle of cerebrum and obstructive internal hydrocephaly. Yuriy spent two months at the Institute of Neurosurgery in Kiev, where he had a surgery done. Unfortunately, the doctors were not able to remove the tumor completely. One segment of the tumor was left in the brainstem. Then we went to Vinnitsa for chemotherapy.
But Yuriy felt only worse. His hydrocephaly was progressing and the doctors had to give him another surgery. They put a drainage in his brain. I (his mother) don’t work. My husband left us as soon as he found out that Yuriy fell sick. He doesn’t help us financially. My daughter, who is 5 years old, stays with my mother-in-law right now.
From the volunteers:
The doctors in Ukraine don’t sound too positive about the possible outcome of Yuriy’s treatment. But one Polish clinic gave its preliminary consent to examine and treat Yuriy.
