My son Kurtys who is 24 months old has brain cancer, an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT).
A very rare, rapidly growing embryonal tumor of the brain and spinal cord that accounts for approximately 1 to 2% of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in children.
Currently, he is being followed in the pediatric oncology department of the Marie Curie hospital in Paris in the 5th arrondissement.
His illness began in January 2023. His first symptoms were repeated vomiting. The morning after each awakening, vomit was found in his crib, which was followed by a pronounced squint.
We then went to the emergency room. After a scan, my wife, who was 2 months pregnant, and I were told that our 11 month old son had an anomaly, but without really telling us what it really was.
We were transferred to the Rothschild hospital in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. That’s when we started panicking..
Once there, we were given the diagnosis. It was in that exact moment that the world fell apart for us.
Today we face a critical situation. After a year of treatment and significant recovery, the tumor is regaining ground and growing rapidly.
It is in monumental distress that I ask you to help us financially in order to go to a country which has a more in-depth study on this AT/RT tumor.
So I made the decision to create this fund in order to do everything in my power to help my son, with your help.
The costs involve :
– Travel of Kurtys and the family
– The payment of the treatments (Medications, creams, gel and masks)
– Kurtys’ food, his diapers and hygiene products.
– Accommodation and meals for the family
Thanks for your help!
