medicines, travel and treatment in Israel

In 2022, I started to feel discomfort in the perineal area. I went to my family doctor, who ordered a urine test. The results showed an infection, so I was given antibiotics. Unfortunately, after completing the treatment, I did not feel any improvement, so I was referred to a urologist. Due to doctors' strikes, my appointments were canceled many times, so I was only able to get a consultation in May 2023. The MRI showed some anomalies, but the doctors were unable to interpret them clearly.

I decided to go to a private urologist because I felt a lump the size of a fingernail and I still felt discomfort. The doctor performed an ultrasound and diagnosed prostatitis, which he described as an occupational disease of drivers (I work as a driver). When I asked if it could be cancer, he assured me that there was no reason to worry and prescribed another antibiotic. Unfortunately, despite a month of treatment, the symptoms did not subside.

I consulted with other doctors who ordered a biopsy. The results confirmed my worst fears – I was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma of the lower pelvis. In September 2023, I started chemotherapy and finished in April 2024. From June to August 2024, I took Votrient and in July I had radiotherapy. On September 23-24, I received my first dose of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel.

Currently, the monthly costs of treatment amount to about 3 thousand zlotys, including medicines and travel to chemotherapy. My hope for further life is connected with treatment in Israel, but the cost of such therapy is about 500 thousand zlotys. Unfortunately, with the current expenses for daily treatment, this amount is unattainable for me.

I am asking for support and help in raising funds for treatment that could save my life.
