At the end of March last year, I felt a very large lump near my stomach. I tried to calm down, but I knew it was a tumor. After an ultrasound, the doctor said there was a 6.5 cm inflammatory lesion. I didn't even think of it as cancer; I thought it was some kind of inflammation. I was confused, surprised, and didn't quite understand what was happening. My family doctor reassured me, but emphasized that further evaluation by an oncologist was necessary.

The test results came back at the end of May and confirmed my worst fears – bile duct cancer and liver metastases. My world collapsed; I couldn't think, sleep, or eat. I couldn't believe what was happening. I was sure I'd wake up any minute and it would all be a terrible dream. I was told to wait for a call from the oncology coordinator to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, a medical consultation was held, where I was told that a transplant would be the best option. 

I also consulted at the hospital in Gliwice and Radom. After ruling out metastases from the pancreas and breasts, I felt a little calmer, but I still didn't know what lay ahead. At the end of August 2025, I began my first chemotherapy treatment. Before chemotherapy, I started a proper diet and supplementation to strengthen my body, especially my immune system and intestines. I didn't feel bad during chemotherapy; I tolerated it well; I was afraid it would get worse. I think this is due to the actions I took and implemented before chemotherapy. However, I can't continue chemotherapy in Poland due to the extent of the cancerous lesions in my liver.

I'm currently not receiving National Health Fund (NFZ) treatment. I'm seeking help on my own, contacting various doctors, still searching for a chance for treatment and the hope that will allow me to continue treatment and live. I found an oncology clinic abroad that has accepted my treatment. Currently, plans are underway to implement a new treatment protocol, which will include new metabolically assisted chemotherapy, hyperthermia, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and supportive infusions along with oral medications (supplements and medications for other uses), as well as a diet tailored to my health condition.

The cost of treatment abroad, including 10 intensive treatment cycles, including plane tickets, meals and accommodation, is PLN 277,700, which is significantly beyond my and my family’s financial capabilities.

I have two wonderful children and a wonderful family for whom I would love to live. We are all very close, we can always count on each other. I dream of laughing again, of enjoying each new day, which I appreciate even more now. I have always traveled a lot and been physically active. I would like to get back into sports and visit many more places, watch the sun rise and set, but above all I want to live.
