Andrey Ivchenko

On this episode of Sarcoma Stories, we’re joined by actor Andrey Ivchenko as he shares his powerful journey through a chondrosarcoma diagnosis.

While you may not be familiar with Andrey’s sarcoma story, you might recognize him as the villain Grigori in Stranger Things Season 3 or as Perseus in Call of Duty.

After being initially misdiagnosed, Andrey's story highlights the critical importance of self-advocacy. In this candid and engaging conversation, we discuss the isolation that can come with a rare cancer diagnosis, the vital role of a care partner, the importance of ongoing research, and how prosthetics are used in sarcoma treatment.

Following an extensive hemipelvectomy and hip replacement, Andrey is now in recovery—gaining strength to return to the screen, and using his platform to raise awareness and advocate for the sarcoma community.

Thank you so much, Andrey, for joining us and sharing your story.
