— The power of persuasion is a great power. To deceive the disease, before the bone marrow transplant, Alan chose a new name — Ilya. He said: «I am like Ilya Muromets. I will defeat the disease!»
Tatiana, Ilya's mother, talks about her son and his imagination immediately begins to draw a cozy, bright image. The doctors friendly shake hands with Ilya. A flock of kids spinning — warmed by his smile, taking his hand, laughing. And Ilya responds in kind. Joy as if stuck in him and did not get out. You just want to get closer, hug and wash in this wave of calm and warmth.
— Ilya has been like that since childhood. He is a very kind, gentle, sympathetic child. He is always in a hurry to help those in need. You just cannot get sad next to him, his optimism springs out of him no matter what life situation he is in.
Alan fell ill suddenly when he was five years old. He got a bruise in kindergarten. It seemed to be no big deal. But the side was humming, the pain did not subside for a minute.
— We went for an ultrasound — just to check. And there was a tumor-neuroblastoma of the right adrenal gland. I went over the alarming symptoms in my head: tremors in my hands, nosebleeds, emotional outbursts. And I thought, well, there it is. But the blood work was always good. And we were calm.
The tumor was removed at the Moscow Institute. M.F. Vladimirsky Institute in Moscow. We waited a month for histology. The result was malignant. After chemotherapy the disease had receded, but had not disappeared. Ilya was prescribed counter-cyclic drugs and Roaccutan therapy, after which he went into remission for three months. Alan used this time to the fullest: he studied at school, played chess, went to music school for choir singing and piano.
Now Alan is ten years old. He continues treatment. The boy underwent a bone marrow transplantation in the Gorbachev Clinic. The donor was his father. Unfortunately, there were some complications.
To feel better, Alan needs the drug Noxafil. There is no medication at the clinic's pharmacy, and treatment has to start now. You have the power to help Ilya-Alan get better!
