CAR-T treatment

The decision to start this fundraiser was one of the most difficult in my life. The most difficult, because when I put it on, I had to come to terms with the existing state of affairs and present myself from a completely different perspective - from the perspective of a sick person, but determined and fighting for every day. I continue to struggle with my disease because I have people around me who constantly inspire me to fight: my loving husband and my wonderful 14-year-old daughter. However, cancer consumes not only time and energy, but also money. Non-reimbursed CAR-T treatmentthat I must submit to is beyond my financial means. My life was valued at over PLN 1.5 million.

In December 2019, during a routine thyroid test, my life changed dramatically. A tumor the size of a grapefruit was found near the mediastinum. I couldn't believe that such a dangerous enemy was growing in my body - for months, without my knowledge, leaving me no opportunity to seek help.

In March, I was finally able to leave the hospital after months of exhausting separation from my family. However, the happiness did not last long. My condition deteriorated rapidly and finally thrombosis occurred. At that moment, the truth hit me with all its force and was difficult for me to come to terms with. I realized that it was mine lymphoma he is extremely resistant to treatment, and fighting him will be an extremely difficult challenge. But I'm not going to give up. Hope is the force that strengthens and drives me.

I am determined and ready for the challenges that may await me. Over 650 hours of pumping poison into my veins, over a month of exhausting exposure, countless sleepless nights, a lot of pain, fear and uncertainty. I will survive all this if that is the price of a happy life with my family, free from the shadow of a deadly disease.

This is my chance at life CAR-T method, which involves taking T lymphocytes from my body, sending them to the USA, where they will be "taught" and "specialized" to fight my cancer, and then implanted into me again. This method is both very effective and very expensive. The huge costs are currently the only reason why I do not undertake treatment that could save my life. Ultimately, the amount of PLN 1.5 million is beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. I have enormous amounts of energy and the will to fight, but I am absolutely powerless in the face of such a big financial challenge. That's why I'm begging you, help me survive! Be my last resort.
