Dear Donors, Friends, Volunteers, People with Big Hearts 

I'm writing to you with immense emotion and gratitude. Every support, every donation, every share of the fundraiser, every message of encouragement, and every kind word gives me the strength to continue fighting each day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your presence, support, and the hope you give me when it's so easily lost.

Unfortunately, what I feared most happened…

After dozens of months of struggle and great hope, I have just heard the diagnosis: the glioma has recurred again. This is the news I feared most every day. Despite treatment, despite my struggle and faith, the disease claimed my life again.

Another extremely difficult stage lies ahead of me. On June 17, I will undergo my third brain surgery.. This will be a very difficult, risky procedure, and one that will place a tremendous strain on my body. I know how much I've already been through and how difficult the road ahead will be, but I don't want to give up. I want to keep fighting—for my life, for time with my loved ones, for the future this disease is trying to take away from me.

For me, every medical decision means a battle not only with the disease but also with the time and costs of treatment. After consulting with specialists, further treatment options have emerged that could improve my chances and provide me with further hope after surgery.

After surgery, I have therapies ahead of me that give me a real chance to continue fighting:

- personalized immunotherapy in Germany — a dendritic cell vaccine prepared individually for my body and type of cancer,
- personalized radiological treatment in Prague, adapted to the course and characteristics of the disease, 
- adjuvant oncology treatment in the United States, which can help stop the development of the disease and support the body after the next stages of therapy.
- Vorasidenib – a non-reimbursed personalized drug that blocks IDH mutations

This treatment is generating unimaginable costs—far beyond my means and the means of my family. Without your help, these opportunities are just a dream. It's incredibly difficult to write these words and continue to ask for support, but I know perfectly well that I can't do it alone.

So I'm asking you with all my heart—stay with me in this fight. If you can, help me get through this next, very difficult stage. Every donation, every share of the fundraiser, and every form of support is incredibly important. Thanks to you, I can continue fighting. Thanks to you, hope appears where there is usually great fear and anxiety.

Thank you for everything – for the goodness I receive from you, for the faith you give me and for helping me not to give up despite such a cruel diagnosis.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here. ❤️ Please stay. 

Camille

Your hearts sustain mine – THANK YOU for being there

Dear,
Thanks to all of you, I wake up every day knowing that I am not alone.
Although living with glioma is like living with a ticking bomb – from MRI to MRI, from control to control
to control – it is thanks to you that I can get up and fight again.
I try not to give up. I live in a rhythm of tests every 3 months, medical consultations, therapy
support and psycho-oncologist. I am struggling with complications after treatment that have affected
large part of my body. I often lack strength, but I do not lose hope.
Thanks to your support – every zloty, every kind word, every prayer and
every gesture of the heart - I can count on non-reimbursable treatment, which is very important
I need.
The fundraiser is still ongoing because I am looking for a chance that will allow me not to lose.
Every day is a fight – with Him, with the glioma… and with myself. But I know I am not alone.
It is thanks to you – Volunteers, Donors, all People of Good Will – that I get up and
I try again, all over again, every day.
I don't have enough words to express my gratitude.
Simply – THANK YOU.
With all my heart.
For everything.
It is you who give me hope.
With gratitude, faith and hope 

Below you can listen to the interview where I share my story, difficulties and
hopes.

Dear!


Sorry I haven't written for so long, but I still can't accept that it's over. WORSE.


In July 2024, I underwent a second, very exhausting and expensive operation. Once again, the tumor could not be completely removed. The remaining change is a tumor over 2 cm and a much larger infiltration.
The neurosurgeon said the tumor was INOPERABLE.. What now? What's next for me?
I didn't expect that after half a year of fighting I would hear such TRAGIC news... I had great faith and hope that it would be different...

The surgeries left a huge mark on my psyche. My nervous system is exhausted – I have problems with concentration, sounds, reaction to light. I get tired very quickly and require care from my loved ones. In addition, I need regular oxygen therapy because I have problems with cerebral hypoxia.

My only hope is non-reimbursable treatment targeting the gene mutation I have.
In August 2024, the treatment was approved in the US.
The monthly cost of the drug is approximately PLN 160,000. In addition, there are travel costs, doctor visits, check-ups, supplementation, neurological rehabilitation, psychological care, appropriate diet and, in the future, immunotherapy.

These are huge costs that I cannot cover without your support.
I need to try all available methods to show the world that brain cancer is not a death sentence, that you can get through it. I want to give hope and motivation to others, because I will remain a Firefighter with a mission forever 💪🧑‍🚒.

Glioma won't give up, but I can't give up because I have someone to LIVE for.
A month ago the love of my life said YES ❤️.

Thank you for what you have done for me so far: for all the kind words, donations, shares, auctions, collections and prayers – thank you very much!
It's not easy for me to ask for further help, but only thanks to your kind hearts can I qualify for treatment. Only thanks to you can I get a chance for health ❤️.
Please help me get better and LIVE…

Dream:

Hi!

My name is Kamil, I am 31 years old, I am a firefighter and a CrossFit trainer by profession and passion. I have always been an incurable optimist, physically active, caring for myself and especially for others, embracing life, with goals, with dreams...

Until everything collapsed because "he" appeared - cerebral glioma, a diffuse astrocytoma with a diameter of almost 6 cm. In an instant, the optimism faded and was replaced by fear and terror. Glioblastoma appeared suddenly and turned my life upside down. Service and training were replaced by doctor visits and quick, difficult decisions. I had to struggle with one of the most aggressive and dangerous brain tumors.

A month after learning about the diagnosis, I underwent a complicated and long-hour operation. Unfortunately, the tumor remained... Due to its size and location, it could not be completely removed. I am facing long and unfortunately expensive treatment, which is the only chance to support my body in the fight against cancer.

So far, I have fought for the health and lives of others in fires and accidents. Now I have to fight for myself and to return to a normal, healthy life.

Only with your help will I be able to achieve this.

The funds from the collection will be entirely allocated to non-reimbursed therapies, pharmacological and medical support, necessary supplementation and re-surgeries. The total cost of treatment over an annual period was estimated at approximately PLN 600,000. PLN - I am ready to take all possible actions to get back to health!

I won't give up, but I need a weapon to fight.
Help me recover and live!

Thank you for all your help and support.
