Report

As a result of the rehabilitation course, two cancer patients managed to significantly reduce the limb swelling and revive its functions. Previously, due to severe pain, movement was almost impossible. After a course of therapeutic massage, the patients were able to lift the limb painlessly.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to the help of our patients.

About the campaign

Cancer patients need rehabilitation courses: let us help them regain the skills!

Sergei was 5 days away from the start of his second year at university when he started having severe headaches. The young man had an MRI scan and doctors urgently ordered treatment, diagnosing him with brain cancer.

The surgery was done well, but but two hours after the surgery, Sergei suffered a brain hemorrhage in the intensive care unit. The boy was in intensive care for three weeks, and Sergei was barely saved. The boy was completely paralyzed. Only one finger worked.

The young man underwent chemotherapy, followed by 38 sessions of proton therapy. During the whole period Sergei was fed through a jejunal tube. Finally remission came, in which it is necessary to restore his skills.

Oncologica Foundation paid for rehabilitation of the ward, thanks to which he will learn to sit unassisted, to stand steadily on a verticalizer, to recover short memory.

Let's give cancer patients a chance to recover!
