treatment abroad and related costs, medications, supplements

Hello, my name is Karolina Urbanowicz and for 17 years I have been trying to do my best to recover from cancer.

In 2007, on a beautiful April day, I received the diagnosis: Hodgkin's disease (Hodgkin's lymphoma) – it was like a bolt from the blue. Then a long, hard fight for life began. Within a short period of time, I was subjected to chemotherapy – 8 cycles. Then more chemicals that destroyed not only the cancer cells, but also the entire immune system.

It is not easy to live with the knowledge that the disease is a part of life and you have to come to terms with it, and at the same time look for a lot of strength in yourself to fight it. Side effects leave a mark forever, not only physically but also mentally.

In 2011, I underwent a transplant from a donor because the disease was progressing and the treatment was yielding poor results. It was a great opportunity to improve health, but unfortunately, healthy life was short-lived. In 2016, a PET scan revealed tumors in the lungs and liver - the disease returned with double strength and required further chemotherapy and supportive treatment.

Unfortunately, the disease still requires specialized care and treatment. Three years ago, kidney problems also appeared (nephrotic syndrome). Currently, I am undergoing immunotherapy treatment, which takes place every 3 weeks, unfortunately abroad. The highest treatment costs are related to trips to France, where I am currently undergoing treatment, which includes flights and local transport to the hospital. I regularly take medications and supplements that strengthen the immune system after chemotherapy and immunotherapy, but unfortunately they are also very expensive.

It is not known when the treatment will end. I still believe that this end will come and I will be completely healthy. This will be one of the most beautiful days of my life. My biggest dream is to be a healthy person and regain my full strength. I am grateful for every day.

Thank you for all your support.
