Call for Help!!!

Hello dear people, the sister of a wonderful young boy writes to you and asks for your quick help and financial support!

My brother's name is Martin Chernaev, 25 years old from Burgas and he needs your help urgently! He is suffering from an acute, rapidly developing oncohematological disease: ( C84.5 ) T-cell lymphoma.

Marty is a young, intelligent, well-mannered, kind-hearted and compassionate person, who finished his higher education in his hometown of Burgas, just when he heard the severe diagnosis and his life turned completely around. Instead of embarking on his life's journey smoothly and purposefully, practicing and applying his knowledge from what he learned at the University, practicing a profession related to tourism, which is his specialty, he faces the difficult task of fighting for his life!

We found out about my brother's insidious disease after going around and around to hospitals, doctors, surgeries, numerous tests, scans, biopsy of a lymph node from the inguinal area, hospitalization in the Hospital in Plovdiv and despite all the wandering and walking around the doctors shrugged their shoulders and did not fully know what exactly was Marty's disease. And the disease in turn continued to progress, starting with only a slight swelling behind the left ear the size of a small ball, as big as a pea, and gradually this swelling covering the entire neck area, neck, armpits, inguinal area, becoming painful and uncomfortable.

The general condition of his body was weakening day by day. My brother was beginning to lose his vitality, he was sleeping almost all the time, the illness with its array of symptoms like fatigue, tiredness, night sweats, sudden weight loss, swollen lymph nodes, fever was signalling to us that something was wrong. We had no more time to waste and wander. On December 7, 2023, my brother and my mother traveled to Istanbul where, after a series of tests, scans and examinations with specialists, it was determined in 3 days exactly what the illness was that Marty was suffering from.

It turned out to be rapidly spreading T-cell lymphoma, which after a PET scan (PET-CT) in December 2023 was found to have spread throughout all internal and peripheral organs.

This was followed by 5 excruciating courses of chemotherapy at İstanbul University Hospital "İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital " There was little improvement after the 4th course of chemotherapy was done. This was our hope for healing, but after doing the subsequent 5th course of chemotherapy, it turned out that despite the heavy chemicals they infused, they proved to be ineffective and did not affect the peripheral organs, which are the inguinal region and under arms. In these areas the lymph nodes continued to swell and become increasingly large and painful.

A few days after that we heard the worst news of all- bone marrow transplant. The ray of light for a complete cure and healing from this insidious disease came from a hospital in Istanbul where the bone marrow transplant would be performed.

The amount needed to continue the treatment is 130,000 euros and is unaffordable for the family. On April 1, 2024, they did genetic similarity tests on me and my mother, the purpose of which is to find out if we can be bone marrow donors and help Marty live a full life and have that beautiful smile on his face again! We are expecting our research in a few days, and separately we are also looking to match him with other donors on the Bone Marrow Transplant Registry.

We urge all people with big hearts to help and join our cause for LIFE FOR MARTY! LET'S LEND A HAND! LET'S HELP A YOUNG PERSON LIVE! LET'S BE KIND !
