Two years ago I was having fun at my own wedding and a year later I'm fighting to be alive. My wife is with me every step of the way, so I have to stay with her.

Updated on January 8, 2026
In July 2025, I finished the chemotherapy and radiotherapy I had begun in October 2024. The results of the imaging tests were excellent—the cancer cells were inactive. It was an incredibly happy time for our entire family. My wife and I began to live without constant anxiety and make plans for the future.
Unfortunately, in mid-October there appeared shoulder pain. At first, it seemed harmless—I thought it was the result of long walks or crutches. Over time, however, the pain worsened. Doctors ruled out arthritis, among other things, but the pain persisted.
In November we went to Warsaw for a check-up. I was already in very bad shape – I was moving on wheelchair, because I couldn't walk on crutches, and his left arm almost completely stopped functioning. After the visit, a PET scan was ordered. The result was devastating – it showed metastases to the shoulder, scapula, spine, ribs and bone marrow.
At the National Institute of Oncology in Warsaw I heard that available treatment options have been exhausted and I was only offered palliative care closer to home. I didn't fully understand what the doctor was saying—I felt as if I'd lost my footing in an instant. Only one question popped into my head: is this the end?
I don't want to accept this. My wife and I are seeking help abroad. Expensive molecular research, which will allow me to choose targeted treatment tailored to my cancer. We know that the costs are enormous, however, I believe that there will be people with big hearts who will decide to support me – for which I thank you with all my heart.
Dream:
Hello, my name is Dawid, this year I will be 31. Last year was a real torture for me and turned my life around 180 degrees. It started with pain radiating to my right leg. I went from doctor to doctor, often bouncing off the wall. Inaccurate diagnoses - sciatica, spinal hernia - did not help. Physiotherapy and other methods also failed. Finally, I had an MRI, which no one wanted to refer me for earlier, because "you don't get sick at that age".
When I got the description of the test, I froze. They found a pathological mass covering my entire hip plate. Further tests and a biopsy in September confirmed the diagnosis – a rare bone cancer, Ewing's sarcoma. The disease started in the hip plate and attacked the surrounding bones.
The treatment will be long and expensive. If the therapy in the country does not bring results, it will be necessary to treat abroad. At the moment I am undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Surgery is not possible at the moment. Unfortunately, the costs associated with treatment are enormous – travel, diet, supplementation and orthopedic equipment, which turned out to be necessary when the vertebrae weakened by the disease began to crack.
I am being treated in Warsaw, which is 250 km away, and I have private visits to the orthopedist in Szczecin (330 km). This is just a drop in the ocean of expenses. That is why I am asking for help in further treatment. The disease does not slow down, so I cannot either. I dream of living normally again, if only it were possible.
Life can be twisted. Two years ago I was having fun at my own wedding, and a year later I'm fighting to live at all. Luckily I have my family by my side to support me. My wife is with me every step of the way, so I have to stay with her.
Thank you all for every contribution in the fight for my future.
