DREAM: 

My name is Benedykt, I am 67 years old. The diagnosis I received in September 2012 changed my life. I found out then that I had it clear cell renal cell carcinoma right.

The attending physician made an immediate decision to remove the entire kidney due to the location of the tumor. The doctor's decision was not to require additional treatment.

For the next 9 years I felt fine. In April 2021, I started experiencing symptoms such as abdominal pain and low temperature. I then became ill with COVID-19 and went to my family doctor because of it. During the visit, I was referred for an abdominal ultrasound, which I performed 3 months later. It turned out that I had a tumor on my liver and right thigh. The biopsy taken then confirmed that recovery had occurred so many years later metastasis from the kidney to the liver.

I was immediately forced to undergo hospital treatment. The first step was chemoembolization of the liver tumor. However, complications occurred: abscess infection and sepsis. I lost 10 kg of body weight. Due to the existing metastases, I was not eligible for surgery. I received targeted treatment which failed. Every three months I had a CT scan of the abdominal cavity and an MRI of the thigh, which showed the progressive progression of the disease. Treatment with the National Health Fund was completed as part of the drug program.

Thanks to the support of my family, I began to seek help privately. The medicine I am taking now is expensive, but it turns out to be effective. After recent imaging tests, it turned out that there was no progression - it was stable.

I have always been active. I worked as long as my health allowed it. I tried to be kind and cordial towards my colleagues and family. I have provided selfless help many times. Despite struggling with the disease every day, I still have a great will to live. I want and want to regain full strength so that I can continue to play the role of father and grandfather. Every day I wait and look out the window when my beloved grandchildren will come. Help me continue to be with my family and enjoy life.
