Yesterday Ukraine experienced a large-scale attack - the enemy launched 127 missiles and 109 drones. They also targeted our region. But even this did not stop the doctors at one of Dnipro's medical centers. Despite everything, they did not stop a vital procedure. And once again, they performed a stem cell transplant

- Lysak wrote on Telegram.

According to him, the surgery will help 15-year-old Volodymyr from the village of Radushne, Kryvyi Rih district, overcome the disease. The boy  had been fighting cancer for more than a year  and had a tumor in his heart.

“The guy has come a long way. Eight blocks of chemotherapy, two surgeries to replace the affected areas and blood vessels. And now the doctors together with the patient have made a victorious step - a bone marrow transplant,”  said the head of the RMA. 

Now Volodymyr is recovering and feeling great.
