We learned about Antoś's illness in February 2023, right after the cast was removed from his broken leg. That's when we noticed a worrying lump above his knee, which was initially supposed to be a harmless cyst. We immediately went to the Institute of Mother and Child, where a biopsy was performed. The diagnosis was devastating - osteosarcoma, a malignant tumor of the right femur.

Antoś immediately started chemotherapy according to the treatment protocol for this type of cancer and underwent a complicated surgery to resection the tumor along with part of the femur, which was replaced with a growing endoprosthesis. In November 2023, we completed the first phase of treatment and with hope we thought that the worst was behind us. Unfortunately, After half a year we found out about the metastases to the lung.

We returned to the oncology ward, where Antoś began another round of chemotherapy and underwent a thoracotomy, during which the cancerous lesion was removed. Unfortunately, this was not the end of the fight.

We will soon have to undergo another leg surgery because, despite intensive rehabilitation, a muscle contracture has developed which prevents Antoś from walking independently. Constant rehabilitation and specialist equipment are needed, the costs of which are huge and not always reimbursed..

Antoś dreams of returning to the playground, going to kindergarten and playing with his peers. Your support can help him return to a normal childhood. Any help - both financial, prayer and kind words - is priceless to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
