The founder and main owner of Tinkoff Bank, Oleg Tinkov, began to experience complications after a bone marrow transplant. The businessman wrote on Instagram about this.
“After KM transplantation, 80 percent have a graft versus host autoimmune disease, aka GvHD, unfortunately, I missed 20 percent, and the cells of my donor savior are attacking my skin and some other parts of the body,” wrote Tinkov.
According to him, the current state may last for several more months. In addition, the entrepreneur’s blood type has not changed yet.
Tinkov also said that his family charitable foundation, which will specialize in financing the treatment of cancer, will begin work at the end of December: “we start with large-scale research, and then the legislative base and understanding of how to increase the register of potential stem cell donors in the country from 100 thousand to 5 million “[punctuation and spelling saved].
Last spring, Tinkov said that he was sick with one of the forms of leukemia, which had been diagnosed a few months earlier. Since then, the businessman underwent a bone marrow transplant and is undergoing treatment at a London clinic. On December 19, he announced that he was in complete remission.
