Hello dear donors !

It is with great pain, a broken heart and tears that I write these lines!

My name is Natasha Simeonova, and I am the mother of Yulian Vladimirov, who is diagnosed with.

He is only 42 years old, but that is not the most important thing, what is more important is that he is a wonderful and loving father of two wonderful children: a boy of 13 years and a girl of 16 years, who need him very much, and so do we his relatives!

I ask you with all my heart to unite and give my only and beloved son, Yuli, a chance to live! Today, he is in great need of your help and support, because we will not be able to cope on our own without you!

On 03.08.2023. after a prophylactic check-up with a gastroenterologist my son was told the worst and scariest diagnosis for all of us - colon cancer. The shock for all of us was great! Immediately he was scheduled for tests. They immediately suggested emergency surgery because a blockage could occur, and after surgery, we were told that chemotherapy and radiation were next.

We asked for more opinions from doctors and so began the wandering around the hospital in different opinions about treatment. We were not offered a PET scan and MRI because there was no need at the time, that was the conclusion they drew.

We also explored the possibility of sending the paperwork to the hospital in Istanbul and hearing another opinion before undergoing treatment here. After a paperwork consultation we were urgently told that we should travel to Istanbul for more tests, a PET scan and an MRI of his liver and then they could give a conclusion about his treatment because they needed to start treatment quickly and not wait.

According to the original offer given by Anadolu Hospital in Turkey we needed about 13.000 Euro. for all the tests. We immediately organized to collect the amount. All the savings I had and with the help of relatives and friends we collected the money so that Yuli could leave immediately for the hospital in Istanbul. Immediately he was scheduled for tests, a PET scan and an MRI of his liver, where, to our even greater regret, they saw metastases in his liver, something they did not do and did not see here in Bulgaria and decided that it was not necessary.

After everything was done he was immediately prescribed chemotherapy treatment. His treatment could not be done in Bulgaria and they had to start immediately with chemotherapy there, for which they needed 2,000 Euros, which I managed to find at the last moment and send. So far 6 chemotherapy treatments have been scheduled. Every two weeks Julie has to travel to Turkey for the chemo treatments until she has done 6 of them, then treatment continues with radiotherapy and surgery. I can enclose invoices for expenses from the hospital up to this point.

For Yuli's treatment, the estimated amount, in the hospital in Turkey, is about 60,000 Euros, an amount that is unaffordable for us!

Further treatment: chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.

Whoever is able and willing, let us help in this difficult time for us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
