Cancer has been an unwanted part of my life since 2013, although at that time I did not realize that lump in the breast will begin my nearly 9-year fight for health. I started treatment with radiotherapy and also underwent partial breast removal.

2019 brought new fears and even greater disappointment. The disease persisted, ultrasound showed metastases to axillary lymph nodes. It was necessary to implement chemotherapy, which, although it destroyed the metastases, did not reduce the tumor in the breast. At that point, the only response to the disease was mastectomy. This radical step, however, did not bring the expected results, in 2021 tumors will appearThey started appearing under my other armpit. The current results are alarming, especially thanks to expansion of tumors into the lungs.

I transformed my fears into strength, I allowed hope to guide me on my path to health,
faith and dreams. Struggling with cancer allowed me to understand the fears that plague people with the disease - I want to share this experience and help them overcome the fears that cancer patients face every day. I dream of completing psycho-oncology, becoming a volunteer in a hospice, turning my knowledge into something productive - bringing at least a moment of comfort to people who
As a result of the disease, it is difficult to find reasons for optimism in everyday life. I believe in human selflessness, and my faith in people is strengthened by the people I have met along the way. I also know that there are still many good things waiting for me in life - I still have a long road ahead of me, but with your support I will be able to get through it with motivation and hope.
