immunotherapy, complementary treatment, specialized diet, medications, supplements

In November 2023, my left shoulder started to hurt, which I thought was a gym injury. At first, the pain came and went, but the range of motion gradually decreased. In May 2024, I went to see my family doctor, who referred me to an orthopedist. I waited until September to see an orthopedist - he referred me for an MRI.

I received the results on Teachers' Day, October 14, 2024. There I read that there were "lumpy" changes in my arm and I was referred for further oncological consultations. The next day (October 15) in the morning I went to the orthopedist with the results and there I learned that the changes were serious. On October 16, I received a full description of the tests… left kidney, adrenal gland, minor changes on the right kidney, femur, ischium, pelvis and that painful arm…

The world collapsed for a few days, but I made an agreement with God and started fighting…

Treatment to date:

On November 14, my left kidney and adrenal gland were removed. I have been on chemotherapy (immunotherapy) since December. From December 2024 to February 2025, I underwent four cycles of radiotherapy to individual bones. I tolerate the treatment very well, and I remain professionally active. Additionally, I supplement the therapy at the Immunoclinic in Warsaw, take natural medicines to support immunity, and use the help of a dietician.

I am waiting for the CT scan results, but for now the immunotherapy will continue. I am also planning further complementary treatment.

We spend about PLN 2,500–3,000 per month on treatment and trips to the Immunoclinic in Warsaw, and an additional PLN 500 on medications. These costs are more or less constant (for two months), but additional expenses keep popping up. I am still a "newbie" in this situation and I don't know what else awaits me. It's hard for me to estimate the costs of the diet precisely.

My greatest motivation is my family. My children are entering adulthood – my son is in his fifth year of college, my daughter in her fourth year of high school. I would like to be a healthy, fit grandfather. I would like to continue to pursue my passions: teaching physics, which I love, exploring astronomy, writing poetry, singing. I love the Polish seaside…

Thank you in advance for any form of support.
