Help Telman fight Stomach Cancer!
In November 2020, Telman Yusupov, my best friend, an amazing husband to Kristina, a loving father of 3 bright young children (youngest is just 2.5 yo), and a brilliant software architect, got a devastating diagnosis - Stage 4 Metastatic Gastric Cancer (Adenocarcinoma Stage IV). He was given less than 3 months to live.
Staying true to himself, he continued to fight the debilitating disease ever since. However, Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments stopped working in May of 2021. The cancer continues to grow making even simple things like eating a torturous and arduous task. The doctors believe that Telman has run out of time.
Telman's last hope is Immunotherapy. While it has great promise in treating a variety of cancers, Immunotherapy is not funded by the government to treat stomach cancer and there are no clinical trials available to Telman within acceptable timeframes. Like so many people that he has helped throughout the years, Telman now urgently needs our help to start Immunotherapy treatments immediately before it is too late!
The goal of the fundraiser:
Help fund the Immunotherapy medication costs, which run on average $8,000-10,000 per treatment, which has to be administered every 2 weeks for several months until there are signs of improvement.
Telman, his wife Kristina, their 3 young children - Timour (10), Dasha (9), Anika (2.5), and all of Telman's friends are asking for your help and are deeply grateful in advance. You will be giving this beautiful Family a much needed chance to grow together.
Updates on Telman's fight with cancer will be provided here as frequently as possible.
Organizer: Victor Potapov, Telman's best friend of over 20 years. All funds will go directly to Telman and his Family.
Thank you!
