I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that had metastasized to my bones and internal organs. The disease prevents me from working and living a normal life, and treatment is very expensive. Any help will allow me to continue treatment and be there for my family.

Dream:
I learned about my condition quite by accident. Initially, I started experiencing pain in my lower back, so I went to my family doctor, who referred me to an orthopedist. The orthopedist, in turn, recommended a CT scan, scheduled for September 2025. Initially, I thought the pain was a result of my gym workouts and didn't take it seriously.
In June 2025, while visiting my family, I spent practically the entire week in bed. My joints hurt, I ate almost nothing, I was nauseous, and I lost over 12 kg in a short timeAfter returning, we had blood tests done, and the doctor immediately referred me to an oncology hospital with suspected prostate cancer. While waiting for an appointment with a urologist, we decided to undergo expensive private tests: an abdominal ultrasound, a CT scan, and an MRI.
The doctor made a diagnosis: prostate cancer with metastases to the urinary bladder, seminal vesicles, abdominal lymph nodes and bones.
I'm just beginning treatment. On August 14th, I received an injection of Diphereline SR 11.25 mg. On September 11th, doctors plan to begin chemotherapy with docetaxel in cycles every 21 days—a total of six infusions.
Currently, I know that apart from treatment under the National Health Fund, there are no non-reimbursed therapies available in the country for my advanced stage of the disease, therefore We are also looking for help outside Poland.
I'm 49 years old and the father of seven-year-old twins, a boy and a girl. My wife and I are raising four children. In May 2025, my daughter's MRI revealed two cysts. She's been complaining of headaches and abdominal pain more and more frequently, so we're waiting for further diagnostics at the Children's Health Center, Neurology Clinic.
Until now, I've been very active professionally, working as a part-time high school PE teacher, and also working as a lifeguard, swimming instructor, and personal trainer. Unfortunately, due to bone metastases and involvement of my entire skeletal system, I can currently only lift up to 2 kg, which almost completely excludes me from professional work. My wife works two shifts and also takes care of the house and children.
Thank you for all your support!
