My daughter's smile gives me strength

I know that this is only the beginning of my difficult journey, but I still believe that everything will be fine and that I will win against the enemy that is cancer. I find strength and motivation to continue treatment thanks to my wonderful four-year-old daughter who did not let me break down. Her smile makes me believe that everything will be fine.

Cancer will only be an episode in my life, not the whole story

The diagnosis was a signal for me to take action, I transformed the initial fear into motivation to change my lifestyle and psyche. Cancer leaves no time for hesitation, it calls for action here and now. I am currently waiting for a consultation and the date of starting chemotherapy. I know that cancer will only be an episode in my life, not the whole story.

I want to see my grandson grow up

It was a very difficult decision for me to tell my story and ask for help. I was motivated by a great desire to continue living. I have a wonderful family, my first grandson was born last year, who is also a great motivation for me to fight for life. I would like to see him grow up.
I am asking for your support.

I want to regain my old everyday life

I am the mother of the sweetest three-year-old and if it weren't for the diagnosis, I would probably lead a quiet and quite ordinary life. In 2019, in the 8th month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with cancer - breast cancer. I believe that the collected funds will allow me to look at cancer as a chronic disease, not as a terminal disease. And I believe that my life will become completely normal again.

I want to be happy again

I am an average person who until recently considered myself happy. Why not? Beloved wife, children, grandchildren, family and friends... And who would have thought that a second after the doctors announced the diagnosis, everything would turn upside down, life would seem to stop, and I would feel as if I did not exist in this beautiful world. .

Help Natalia regain hope

The stress of leaving home and the fear for her and her baby's life accelerated the progression of the disease. Every day Natalia loses not only strength and faith in a stable future, but also hope that this future will come at all.

I want to raise my daughters

And so, on Women's Day, instead of enjoying flowers from my husband, I heard the verdict: tumor, suspicion of malignancy on the Birards scale 4c. Already then my whole life was flashing before my eyes, after all, I'm only 40 years old, I have daughters to raise, I would like to wait for their weddings, what can I say, first the communion of the younger daughter, Łucja, and the completion of primary school of the older daughter, Zosia.

The disease appeared suddenly and became a death sentence

Further treatment depends on the progress of the disease - on whether the paralysis disappears and the husband will be able to get up and walk on his own. This requires intensive rehabilitation, also private. When my husband gets back on his feet, he will be able to benefit from innovative glioma treatment. The cost of these therapies reaches 200,000. zlotys. We don't have many treatment options due to the specific nature of the tumor, but there is hope and it motivates us to fight.

I want to mature without fighting for life

I'm 20 years old. Despite my young age, I often fought for my health and life.
On February 7, 2019, I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of bones and articular cartilage with metastases to the bone marrow and pelvic bones, stage IV. I remember that one of the words I said to my sister after hearing the diagnosis was: "Don't cry, because it means you're losing hope." To a large extent, they prevented me from taking back any step I had taken forward.
