My father has been in good health up until now and has never been hospitalized. About the diagnosis – oral cavity malignant tumor – we only found out in July of this year. At first, he didn’t tell us about his problem, but the increasing pain and swelling on the right side of his face forced him to see a doctor. Since then, he has undergone a series of tests and specialist consultations.

Conventional medicine recommended radiotherapy for my father, but his health does not allow it. Currently, the chance to strengthen the body and support in the fight against the disease are regular treatments, which take place in a private clinic near Poznań. The cost of one two-day cycle is almost PLN 3,000. Treatment also requires the purchase of numerous supplements and medications recommended by the clinic.

Additionally, support is provided to us by the Częstochowa Region Hospice Care Association, which organizes regular home visits by a nurse and a doctor.

Oral cancer significantly impedes my father's daily functioning. Limited jaw mobility prevents him from performing basic activities such as biting, speaking, and even breathing freely. Nutritional problems and rapid weight loss (currently around 50 kg) worsen his overall health.

The nagging pain, although relieved by painkillers, attacks suddenly and often disrupts sleep. In his current condition, my father requires constant care and support, because everyday functioning is becoming increasingly difficult for him. At the same time, it is very expensive and our family needs support.

That is why we are turning to you – people with big hearts. We will be grateful for any, even the smallest help.
