Sapon Sergey Biography

Sergei Sapon: “When my son fell out after chemotherapy, I cut his hair in solidarity, but it didn’t become easier for my son. To make an X -ray, we went to the Kyiv clinic. In Vova, inflammation of the lungs was revealed, put in a hospital, and immediately in intensive care - the condition was so serious. Having made a blood test, the doctors suspected something was wrong, asking for the indicators in three other laboratories.

The husband took a test tube. As a result, he was told: "Without a doubt, this is a malignant disease of blood - Berkitt's lymphoma." Vova was sent for treatment at Okhmatdet. Soon, the teenager will have the next course of chemotherapy-after his son was made a terrible diagnosis, my wife and I were not even able to tell someone about this, ”adds Sergey. He accumulated a lot of liquids in the lungs, he suffocated.

The first week of his son was removed from this condition, and then chemotherapy was prescribed. Advertising - only now I began to analyze everything that happened and remembered that in September my son complained about fatigue, ”the boy’s mother replies. Vova is a mobile child, and then he began to behave unusually: he would come from school, eat and lays down to lie down. I believed that this is due to a large load that he was not yet used to the educational graphics after the summer.

Now I understand: this is how the disease made itself felt. And from the lessons, the husband took Vova several times - the son called and complained about a terrible headache. The doctors asked me if I had noticed Vova who had a lot of sweat. But in the summer he was rushing on a bicycle every day, he was constantly wet ... - The son understands that he is seriously ill?

Seeing bald patients in the game room, he asked: “Are these children sick with cancer? Then he asked: “Do I have cancer too? Then I saw that Vova in his tablet was looking for information about this. Moreover, on social networks, the son began to communicate with a girl who went through treatment. He showed me pictures of a foreign boy who had the same diagnosis, but after therapy the disease retreated.

Vova likes to consider the pictures of this guy: he plays sports, pumped up. The son says: "I will be cured - and I will look just as beautiful." He asked to support the family of a participant in the show from the village of New Basan of the Bobrovitsky district of the Chernihiv region. Two Sergei - father and eldest son - were remembered by many. In the picture from left to right: Sergey Jr., Sergey-Sr., Valentina and Vova, they came to the project with a solid weight.

With a height of one meter of 68 centimeters, his father weighed a kilogram, and a summer son with a meter of 65 centimeters - kilograms.

They were unhappy with how they looked, but they could not lose weight on their own. During the television show, both Sergei changed beyond recognition. Moreover, on the final weighing a year ago it turned out that in addition to them, the rest of the family had lost weight. The numbers were shocked. For six months, the father dropped 53 kilograms, the eldest son - 38, the younger Volodya - eight, and Valentine's mother got rid of 30 kilograms.

In total, the Sapon family lost it as much as kilograms! But I did not immediately recognize Sergei - I was confused by his beard. When she said about this, the man smiled: - He promised my son that I would not shave until he was treating and returning home. Vovchik and I are now communicating only by phone. At the same time, he looks at me out the window from the ward.

During one such conversation, my son told me: “A year ago, I waited for you to return from the project, and now you are waiting for me from the hospital.” We are very close to our son. Many are surprised at how we communicate, discuss everything in the world with him. There was no such thing that Vovchik, having come from school or leaving somewhere, did not kiss me.

It was Sergey who was the first to learn the diagnosis of his son. For him and his wife, this was a terrible blow. With her and her sister Natasha, who together came to the project to lose weight, the family of boots became friends during the filming. Having learned about Vova’s disease, the sisters immediately phoned other project participants, STB employees.

After each course of “chemistry”, Vova to restore it is necessary to transfuse blood. We are looking for donors, doctors check them before the procedure. Employees of STB have already come to donate blood. They did this from solidarity with him. And Marina and Natasha shaved their backs. At the moment, Vova has passed two blocks of chemotherapy. He will have at least three courses.

Vova has a burn of the oral mucosa, drugs are administered with droppers, because of this, he cannot eat and drink on his own now. Food receives through a catheter directly into the stomach. He answers monosyllables, sounds. And for a second, not a single patient is ignored. At two in the morning, his son was gained blood. I ask: where will you check it, is it night in the yard?

And she ran with a test tube to the laboratory. Soon they brought the result. Insulin was introduced to his son. It was amazing for me. Of course, after that my trust in the doctors increased. I am very grateful to the staff of the clinic. Here, each child is treated with great attention. We all live as a big family. On Mondays, consultations are held in the department, discussing the condition of the patients.

If our doctors always had the necessary drugs for treatment!During our conversation with Vova’s parents, a telephone rang out - the nurse asked to urgently come to the department. I watched the television show. You would not smoke so much. Take yourself in your hands. So it happened. But at first it was impossible to restrain himself. I constantly cried: I’m going to the hospital in Kyiv - I cry, I return home from my son - I sob.

The eldest son is too. When I asked Sergey, how much money the family had already spent on the treatment of my son, he thought for a few seconds. To our happiness, many drugs are in the department, but some have to look for and buy yourself. Vova needed 20 ampoules. First we bought one for hryvnia. But in connection with the increase in the dollar exchange rate in one day, its cost has increased to three thousand ...

Now, after the second block, this medicine has been issued. In the early days of my son’s illness, I was dangling all over Kyiv with a list of drugs necessary for Vova. I had 20 thousand hryvnias with me. Buying the last drug, I realized that I could not refuel. I spent everything. He called a friend. How can I help? The next day, a friend brought me twenty thousand - gathered for friends, acquaintances.

Honestly, I did not even expect that this could be. To cure my son, I am ready to sell the car and our grocery store. But so far there are no people who want to buy. How can you sit down at the table, knowing that my child does not eat a gram due to a burn of the mucosa? Vovchik for two months of illness lost weight of 20 kilograms! After the final of the show, I scored a little.

Now I hang up kilograms. Serega almost did not recover. He came to the project with a weight of kilograms, and now he weighs a little more than seventy.
