treatment abroad, medicines, surgery, orthosis or prosthesis, supplements, medical consultations

The diagnosis was like a bolt from the blue. An extremely rare type of cancer – MPNST – located on a nerve in the leg. It is a disease that occurs once in a million cases. There are few doctors in the world who treat it, and there is very little research on the subject.

However, I decided to treat this experience as a journey that would definitely change and transform me. I took the bull by the horns and did (and still do) everything that was within my reach. 

At that time, I found two doctors in Poland who, with great reservation, agreed to treat me. I underwent three surgeries, and yet I am still at square one. The treatment in Poland proved ineffective and consumed all our savings. Fortunately, there is a light at the end of the tunnel – the possibility of treatment abroad. This is my chance to live without pain and return to normal functioning.

I am waiting for a decision on what form of therapy will be most effective for me – whether specialist surgery, drug treatment, or even leg amputation (or a combination of these methods) will be necessary. Regardless of the choice, funds are needed for procedures abroad, recovery, treatment and rehabilitation.

My dreams

I have three big dreams:

1. I want to enjoy carefree moments with my loved ones again – with my husband, my 6-year-old daughter and my 10-year-old son. I would happily swap medical tourism for mountain walks, beach runs and wandering through the forest.

2. I want to get back to the job I love with all my heart. The disease and its complications prevented me from continuing my professional activity, in which I could do what I feel called to do – help others. I miss it and dream of returning to professional activity as soon as possible.

3. I have one distant but very vivid dream. I see my 80th birthday. I am organizing it in the mountains, on the not-so-high peak of Trzy Kopce in the Beskids. I go there alone with my husband. At the top, my children, their children and loving partners, my younger sister and beloved friends are waiting for me. We dance, enjoy each other, celebrate life. That's how I see it!

Please help me make these dreams come true. ❤️
