Mom's story: My name is Victoria, I am Sofia's mom, who is 10 months old! We are from Saint Petersburg.
When Sofia was almost 5 months old, we noticed a squint, turned to an ophthalmologist, who immediately hospitalized us. We underwent a more thorough examination and was diagnosed with bilateral stage C-D retinoblastoma (malignant tumor of the retina in both eyes).
The treatment began with a course of chemotherapy. There were 4 of them in total! She had a little effect on large lesions, the rest remained unchanged!
Then we continued our treatment in Moscow, where several operations were performed (brachytherapy, laser therapy)!
Some lesions were removed, but new ones appeared and there were unresolved difficulties with large tumors!
Unfortunately, treatment in Russia increases the risks of exposure to the optic nerve, which can lead to blindness. We are also very limited in diagnostics here!
We consulted an ophthalmology clinic in Lausanne, Switzerland! It is there that the lives and eyesight of such kids as we are saved! They invite us to the necessary treatment that requires an individual approach and specialized techniques that are not available in our country. And they give a high chance of recovery!
Please help save our girl!
