CATALINA ANDREEA MATEI – her story

4 February 2009

Last weekend I was receiving a message on my blog. A 19 year old girl found my blog scared to death from the illness she was diagnosed with. She was looking for a medical solution. I called her and told her about INI. The girl who carries two Saint Names calmed a little bit... until she found out how much her surgery would cost in Hanover, Germany. 25.000 euros. I called, made the appointment. On January 6^th she is awaited there. Prof Valavanis, specialist in vascular surgeries (embolizations) and Prof. Fahlbusch are sure they can help her. Do you also want to help her? Time is running out, Catalina wants to get well and live her live.

Hello, my name is Andreea Catalina Matei and I am a 19-year-old college student. I have a severe health condition; I was diagnosed with a profound right cerebral parieto-occipital arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Everything was discovered the moment I partially lost vision in my left eye. Through a MR Angiography, it was established that a saccular dilatation of the malformation had broken and formed a hematoma (broken blood vessel) which is pressuring my eyesight cortex. (The very reason why I am losing my vision).

Because the malformation is large, deep, covering two areas of the cortex, and is fueling itself from both brain blood streams, the risk of surgical intervention is high (I could go blind). The procedural sequence would be as follows: Successive embolizations, gamma knife and then open surgery. This type of intervention (embolization) is only in its beginning stages in Romania and after seeing several brain surgeons, I was advised to try to have the surgical intervention performed in another country (France, Hungary, Germany, Italy, etc.)

The surgical procedure carries the risk of BLINDNESS, if unsuccessful. Unfortunately I do not have the financial means to undergo surgery.

If you could please help me in any way, I would be very grateful. I am just beginning my journey on Earth and I would certainly like to be able to complete it. Thank you for taking the time to read to the end.”
