I never expected that the disease could be so insidious. Until 2021, I lived, enjoying the life I was building - when fate seems to be favorable to your plans, it is hard to accept the thought that anything could affect this carefreeness and family happiness. In October last year, during routine tests, I found out that I suffer from... malignant breast cancer with metastasis to the armpit.

This was not how I imagined the end of the check-ups, I did not expect that when I returned home I would struggle with the thoughts that accompanied me at that moment. Armed with the will to fight and love for my loved ones, I decided that I had to act. I started treatment in Gliwice - the first step was chemotherapy. I have now completed the red chemistry course and am in the middle of the white chemistry course - I am constantly dealing with side effects that can be difficult to bear. Fatigue, pain and weakness are integral parts of my treatment. I am able to struggle with them because I believe that the steps I take will lead me to victory over the disease.

I still have a long road ahead of me, full of new, equally burdensome challenges. At the moment I know that I will have to undergo radiotherapy, a series of several surgeries and rehabilitation. Of all the surgeries I have to undergo, removal of the diseased breast and lymph nodes is the only procedure subject to reimbursement. The next steps, although so important in the recovery process, must be financed from my own funds. The price I have to pay to effectively fight the disease is absurd. Diet, supplements, medicines and commuting from Opole to Gliwice generate costs that are beyond our means - especially now when the treatment interferes with my professional activity.

I am at a very important point in my life, I have been happily married for 8 years, and I have been a fulfilling mother for 5 years.. This is the time when I should participate in my daughter's growth, teach her and prepare her for the next stages of life, and help her acquire knowledge. It's too young an age to deal with the topic of my illness - above all, it's too young an age to be afraid for my mother's health. I cannot allow this disease to continue to poison our lives and destroy everything we have worked hard for. Looking at the faces of my loved ones, I know that I am not fighting only for myself - this thought helps me survive and find strength in moments when I especially need it. I will fight because I love my family and I want to build a foundation for a happy future for us.

I believe that with your support, my fight will be even more effective.
