            Dear Liam and other guests of MRF,

            Hope your Dad, Liam,  is doing well, I wish to him only the best.

            By the way, like your Dad I am 65 y.o. too. My name is Valery Korobeynyk,  I live in small Ukrainian town Kobelyaky and work here since 1974 in our Central Rayon Hospital, now – more than 32 years – as Chief out-patient Department (although in our country it is absolutely not the same as it is in Europe, UK or in USA).

            Unfortunately, the reason for writing this letter is very sad, even bitter for me. But I decided to write to you: what if you have friends or acquaintances who have come into contact with a disaster that has suddenly fallen on me and can prompt or even help me to find a way out of my, most likely hopeless situation …

            And now in effect: on September 9 I was in Poltava and consulted an oncologist about the birthmark on my back, which began to grow in recent months and increased almost twofold.
            The oncologist suspected melanoma of the skin of my back and conducted all possible examinations in Poltava of my birthmark (brownish-dark brown color about 2 x 1.5 cm in size). Here are the results::

            -X-ray of chest organs: there were no pathologies in the lung, in the region of the 6th rib on the right (approximately at the level of formation), the site of rarefaction of bone tissue is determined.
            -Computer tomography of chest organs (for the purpose of refinement on the rib) and the rest = pathology is not revealed.
            -The ultrasound of the gastrointestinal tract and small pelvis revealed one enlarged lymph node in the left (???) armpit 2х1.5 cm. Inguinal, retroperitoneal and other lymph nodes were not enlarged and did not become localized.
            -The punction of the lymph node: there are no abnormal cells (although the doctor told me that in practice this can practically mean nothing).

            On October 11, I was at the Kiev National Cancer Institute. Professor Korovin Sergey. – one of the best specialists of melanoma in Ukraine – carefully examined me and suggested: as soon as possible operation with a deep and with a large margin from the edges of surgical excision of education, the conduct of histological examination. And only then he can decide on a more specific tactic of further treatment and possible definition of predictions for for life.

            I basically agree and I'm ready to go to surgery at the end of next week.
            However, I read a little on the Internet about the progress in the treatment of melanoma in your country, especially in Israel, and began to doubt.

            That's why I decided to write to you too.
            Please, do not turn away, think, remember – maybe suddenly in your head will appear and rippen a chance for my salvation/

            If it’ll be possible for you – help me to have contacts with people with melanoma in your country.

            Excuse me my maybe not so excellent English, mistakes in this letter but I will look forward to hear from you as soon as you can and  I will hope.

            With best wishes from small Ukrainian town Kobelyaky and my unlucky Ukraine.

            Yours sincerely,

            Mr.Valery Korobeynyk M.D.
