Convicted conditionally Lercek asks court to release her to China due to new metastases

Blogger Lercek (Valeria Chekalina), who was previously sentenced to a suspended sentence for illegal currency transactions, spread metastases to other bodies. Earlier, the prosecutor’s office tried to send her under house arrest because of the purchase of tickets to St. Petersburg, but the FSIN did not reveal any violations. In parallel, the girl underwent chemotherapy, but in early October, the growth of cancer cells resumed, reported in NEWS.ru.

“Metastases began to grow throughout the body: in the adrenal glands, in the ovaries. They're back in their lungs again. And the cancer began to progress with a new force, said Valeria Chekalina.

According to doctors, the condition of Lercek is estimated as medium severity. She suffers from severe pain in the lower back and sacrum, which give to the legs.

Preparations are underway for the second line of chemotherapy. Doctors continue treatment, but she hopes to get permission from the court to go to China, where CAR-T therapy is available to completely get rid of cancer cells.
