Natalia is a young woman, loving mom to her 6-year old son, and a caring sister and daughter. In fall of 2015 she started feeling unwell and losing weight. Then she began having abdominal pains, lost appetite and developed fatigue. By early December, a large tumor of right adrenal gland was discovered. Natalia was urgently operated just two days before her 30th birthday. She is now stable, but needs long-term therapy with Lysodren, a medication that is not made in Russia and has to be imported from abroad. The cost of Lysodren is beyond Natalia's family's reach, and she needs our support to ensure that adrenal cancer does not return.
Since starting this project, we have helped Natalia and other patients needing Lysodren with bringing the medication into Russia. We were able to find this medication at a lower price and use our funds in the most effective way. We are hoping that we can count on your support to continue providing cancer patients with vitally needed medications!
Thank you so much for your kindness!
