oncological therapy in the treatment of stage IV glioma

I am 43 years old and the father of two wonderful sons: 11-year-old Staś and 8-year-old Adaś. My biggest dream is to be able to watch them grow up, support them in difficult times and enjoy their successes. I worry that my children may not remember me. They are at an age where memories can fade, and I would like them to remember me as a loving father who was always there for them.

I like listening to good music, which I share with my friends. Three years ago I bought a guitar, which I learn to play almost every day. Music gives me a lot of joy and is a form of therapy for me.

Unfortunately, now I have to face the most difficult challenge of my life. Glioma is a disease that requires complicated treatment and fighting for every day of life. On September 11, 2024, I underwent surgery to remove the tumor at the UCK WUM neurosurgery clinic. Diagnosis: malignant brain tumor – grade IV glioma.

The next stage is radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is the end of the available and reimbursed treatment methods in Poland. My loving wife Ania supports me with all her strength, but the amount we need to collect is beyond our capabilitiesThe costs of further treatment are enormous.

I would like to start TTFields (Optune) therapy. This is a modern method of electromagnetic field treatment that can significantly prolong the lives of patients with brain tumors. Unfortunately, this therapy is not reimbursed in Polandand her the monthly cost is over 120,000 PLN. The device must be worn for as long as possible to achieve the best results.

That is why I am asking you for financial support. Every amount, even the smallest, will bring me closer to my goal of defeating the disease. I believe that with your help I will be able to continue treatment and spend many more happy moments with my family.

Thank you in advance for every, even the smallest form of support and kindness. Your help gives me hope and strength to fight the disease..
