Dmitry (4 yo) and Yaroslava (5 yo) both were diagnosed with neuroblastoma, both need MIGB-therapy.
This March 2021 ultrasound showed that Dmitry has neuroblastoma in his stomach. He was accepted at Dmitry Rogachev Medical center and started to get his treatment. In August doctors prescribed Dmitry MIGB-therapy.
Yaroslava has been fighting neuroblastoma since 2018, when she was accepted in ER with acute stomach pain, that appeared to be cancer. Yaroslava received chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and the next step was MIGB.
Radioactive Iodine is an important part of this type of treatment. In most cases, neuroblastoma cells are capable of accumulating this radioisotope. And it turns out that these cells are, as it were, irradiated "from the inside", while the rest of the body suffers relatively little. After a few days, most of the radioactive isotope decays or is excreted from the body, and you can proceed to other stages of treatment. And our donors helped to get Iodine for both treatments.
