medicines, supplements, travel to treatment

It started innocently in September 2022 with "40+" check-ups, which showed occult blood in the stool. Then, in January 2023, after an urgent colonoscopy and CT scan, a complicated surgery was performed to remove the small pelvic tumor, the fistula between the sigmoid loop and the cecum was divided, the ureter was isolated from the tumor and a stoma was created in the sigmoid colon. Unfortunately, after the surgery, it turned out that the ureter was leaking, but fortunately, a DJ catheter was placed in the kidney.

The diagnosis came crashing down on me when I received the histopathological results – malignant tumor of the large intestine. It was a shock for me and the whole family, even more so because until the surgery I was physically active (I rode a bike a lot - I covered routes of up to several dozen kilometers a day) and I enjoyed (as it seemed to me so far) good health despite the age of 70.

In April 2023, I started the first round of chemotherapy, which was interrupted in September 2023 because it did not produce the expected results. Tumor markers continued to increase, and imaging studies showed tumor recurrence at the ureter's opening into the bladder. In January 2024, I started a new type of chemotherapy, which turned out to be much stronger, but unfortunately the side effects are becoming more and more troublesome.
The current line of chemotherapy is aimed at reducing tumor recurrence and after 4-6 infusions, excising it and administering chemotherapy intraperitoneally. Unfortunately, this surgery also involves the removal of part of the bladder wall, and in the worst case scenario, the entire bladder along with the right ureter and kidney. After the surgery, chemotherapy will be continued. After completion of oncological treatment, the stoma is planned to be removed.
I try to support the body and support the treatment process with additional treatments, diet and appropriately selected supplementation. This is to limit the side effects of chemotherapy and reduce the risk of further metastases. Unfortunately, this involves additional, high costs that are beyond my financial capabilities, so I am asking for your support.

My dream is to continue my passion for cycling and go on a bicycle trip with panniers to the seaside near Rzeszów, where I live, with my wife. What motivates me most to fight for my health are my four granddaughters, who are my hope.

Please help me get back to health.
