treatment not reimbursed

This is the hardest story I have to write because I don't know the ending of this story. The diagnosis was made during a check-up with a gynecologist in April 2024. Then diagnostic tests were performed at the Mazowiecki Hospital in Radom.

During the operation at the University Center for Women's and Newborn Health of the Medical University of Warsaw, on May 9, samples were taken for biopsy. The results confirmed ovarian cancer with metastases to the mediastinal, axillary and clavicular lymph nodes.

After surgery, chemotherapy was started (8 infusions): PCL/Paclitaxel, CBDCA/Carboplatin and BEV/Bevacizumab. The treatment is currently planned to continue – 18 infusions of BEV/Bevacizumab, the first of which was given on December 3, 2024. Radiotherapy is planned from January 2025.

HRD did not detect pathogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 variants. After chest radiotherapy and consultations with an oncological surgeon, a biopsy is planned and the material will be sent to Belgium for targeted chemotherapy – the costs of this procedure are not yet known.

Life is a gift.

These words now take on a special meaning for me. Every day and every moment have become precious. Little things bring me joy – growing eyebrows and eyelashes, nature, the laughter of my children, the breeze and the rays of the sun.

I dream of getting better and being able to go on bike trips with my family again, spend time actively and enjoy life.

Professionally, I was fulfilled, and my personal life gave me a lot of happiness. Despite my many duties, I always found time for my greatest passion – sports and traveling. I love physical activity – swimming, cycling, skiing, volleyball. I also have a weakness for the mountains, especially our beautiful Tatras.

I had many plans and dreams, so many places I wanted to see and visit.

The greatest motivation for me to fight the disease is my family: my husband and two children – son Paweł (23 years old) and daughter Maja (10 years old). I also have great people around me who support me.

The most difficult moment was hearing the question from my daughter: "Mom, will you get better?" I know how much the whole family needs me, especially Maja. I dream of being there for her as she grows up, copes with the problems of teenage years, and I can support her and give her tenderness.

At the same time, we are struggling with Maja's disease - a congenital defect of the retina of both eyes. My disease has made me realize how much they need me.

The experiences of the disease and the struggle for each day have left their mark on my well-being. Fighting cancer takes a lot from a person, but I do not allow myself to lose hope. I promised myself that regardless of the difficulties that await me, I will never lose it - because without hope you cannot live.

Thank you all for your help and support
