The disease has returned with even greater force..This is extremely dangerous and life threatening for Chris.

Christian is 18 years old. It all started at the beginning of May. Christian gets swollen lymph nodes and stiffness on the left side of his neck. He complains of weakness and chills. During this time the state matriculation exams are held, which Chris goes to in not good health. However, the results are excellent.

Numerous bumps form on his scalp which grow for days. From blood tests done, it was found that he had antibodies for an ongoing viral infection, Mononucleosis. A mild, dry cough also began. An x-ray was taken which revealed a pleural effusion in the lavage part of the lung. Christian is admitted to the Military Medical Academy where they perform a lung puncture to remove the water that has collected. A full-body scan was performed, which showed a 10 cm by 10 cm mass between the breasts.

A few days after discharge from the Military Medical Academy, Chris was admitted to the Ajibadem City Clinic as an emergency with a complaint of continuous vomiting. There they performed a biopsy of the chest education. He was examined by a hematologist who ordered blood tests. A few days later, when the results are ready, we find out the severe diagnosis of Acute T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Leukemia. He is very urgently transported to the hospital. There he is quickly stabilized and chemotherapy treatment is started.

Already after the first course of chemotherapy, remission of the disease was achieved. A second course follows, during which unforeseen complications occur. The course is interrupted until it is stable. Chris returned to the hospital for continued treatment. He was discharged from hospital on 21.10. with a planned re-admission on 11.11. While at home, Chris developed a high fever and returned to the hospital on 10/31 as an emergency. With great regret, after carrying out the necessary tests, it was found that there had been a relapse of the disease to a very large extent. This is extremely dangerous and life threatening for Chris. The resulting relapse of the disease has us terribly worried. Headaches, flushing and severe vertigo have appeared. For several days, Chris was plagued by continuous, very severe nausea and vomiting. Despite taking medication these symptoms, of unknown nature, were not responded to.

Learning of a clinic for successful treatment of hematological diseases in Turkey, we decided to continue treatment there. What we have learned from the now half year that has passed in fighting this insidious, aggressive disease is that everything happens very quickly and unpredictably. That is why it is of utmost importance for our child's life that he be transported as soon as possible.

Since the amount of money needed for the treatment is beyond our means, we are appealing to all of you, good people, to help us cure Chris.

Thank you to everyone who will support us and make it possible for Chris to have a future!
