August 31, 2010. Diagnosis - retinoblastoma of both eyes


 

 

Maria is only two years old and she has been diagnosed with cancer. In July, her parents noticed that her eye became red and they took Maria to an ophthalmologist.  After some testing, the parents learned that Maria has retinoblastoma of both eyes. In Odessa Filatov institute the diagnosis was confirmed, Maria had surgery and her  first chemotherapy.

 

The right eye eventually was removed because the tumor was quite large on it, and the eye lost its functionality.

 

Maria needs to undergo six chemotherapy sessions, and every month she needs to travel to Odessa for checkups. Maria has a lot of siblings and her family barely makes the ends meet. The treatment requires considerable resources and we ask each one of you to make a contribution for Maria’s treatment. We cannot keep Maria’s eye sight, but we can give her hope to live!
