In October 2022, the parents of little Taisiya noticed a swelling in their daughter's right cheek. Upon reaching out to the polyclinic, a CT scan revealed a neoplasm. The baby was taken to the «Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Immunology», and on 14.11.2022, the tumor was removed partially and a diagnosis of infantile fibrosarcoma was given. This is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that occurs with a frequency of 1% of all cases of malignant neoplasms in children. During a genetic study, a mutation was detected in the tumor.
To reduce the size of the tumor before surgical intervention, Taisiya should undergo conservative treatment. Since 02.02.2023, the girl has been taking Larotrectinib. But in December 2023, the medicine ran out and is currently missing from the «Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Immunology». Taisiya received assistance in the amount of 23,979.96 BYN (677,400 RUB). To purchase 4 vials of Larotrectinib so that the baby can continue the recommended treatment without a long break.
We are also opening a fundraiser to purchase 8 more vials of the drug Larotrectinib so that the girl can undergo a full course of conservative treatment according to the protocol. Together, let's help little Taisiya have a happy and healthy childhood!
