My dear friends,

My name is Natalia Zelenkova. I am the administrator of this website. I am not a doctor. I am a person who has faced many oncological diagnoses given to my relatives and friends. The two cases in my family are really complicated and, actually, have no treatment at present. Both these people were diagnosed with stage 4, when all actions for survival must be taken extremely fast.

My personal oncological story is available here. I socialize a lot with cancer patients and understand the frustration and fear of the people who have just learnt about the diagnosis and do not understand what to do and where to rush. I'm also aware of the fact that our present day public healthcare can offer no sufficient information on the matter and has many unsolved problems.

to raise awareness about cholangiocarcinoma as type of diagnosis,

to unite patients with this diagnosis, their nearest and dearest, professionals in medical sphere, charity organizations and all the people involved in this issue.

to inform cancer patients about clinical trials, molecular profiling of tumors, and other directions of modern science and oncology in particular, which can save a life of a patient with cholangiocarcinoma and of many other cancer patients for whom the standard schemes of chemotherapy do not work and who are searching for an effective therapy.

After my condition stabilized in June 2016, I did not return to my previous professional activities related to audit, and almost immediately began to communicate with patients as a volunteer, while simultaneously studying molecular biology. You can see the training completed in my «new» life here.

My education and my work experience before I was diagnosed with cancer can be found here.

I can be contacted via telegram @zelen_natash.

In February 2022 I registered a Charitable foundation «Cholangiocarcinoma».
