My name is Grażyna. I'm a mother of five wonderful children and a proud grandmother. Throughout my life, I've strived to be strong and present for my family. Unfortunately, in May of this year, my life suddenly changed.

I heard the diagnosis: high-grade ovarian cancer with metastases to lymph nodes. This disease led to further complications, I also developed secondary nephrotic syndrome, a serious kidney disease resulting from cancer. 

I've already undergone three major surgeries and seven chemotherapy infusions. Each stage of treatment has been a huge challenge, both physically and mentally. In January, I have another appointment with the oncologist, where further treatment, in the form of pills, will be determined. I hope this will stabilize the disease and give me a chance to function better.

I'd love to return to work and a normal life, but my health currently prevents me from doing so. Every day I'm learning patience, humility, and faith that the treatment will bring results.

I love life. I love my family. I want to live as long as possible for my children and grandchildren, to be with them in their daily lives, to watch them grow, fulfill their dreams, and build their own lives. They are the ones who give me the strength to fight every day.

For every support, kind word, help and kindness, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
