I'm struggling with pancreatic cancer. I know my only hope is a planned surgery abroad at the Bottom Champalimaud Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Center in Lisbon with Professor Marcus Büchler. After reviewing my medical records, the professor agreed to the treatment. The surgery and treatment cost 420,000 PLN. I can't cope with this challenge. I'm forced to ask for help. My 14-year-old daughter, husband, and I would be grateful for any support. I had pancreatic cancer 22 years ago, and it worked... I feel like I'll be successful this time too. I have strong motivation, a positive mental attitude, and the support of my family and friends. This gives me strength.

My history
Dream:
When I was sentenced to pancreatic cancer 22 years ago, I was "dying" for a day and a half, tears streaming down my face. I shook myself and decided to get back on my feet, truly start living, start a family, have a child, and pursue my creative endeavors. I decided to change my life. As if by magic, everything came true: after the surgery I recovered, I fell madly in love with my husband, returned to my profession as a visual artist, and gave birth to a daughter. My wildest dreams have come true.
From a medical point of view, cancer in the same organ is simply unbelievable. a rarity. I thought this situation would never happen again. Unfortunately, in January of this year, a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer with metastasis to the liver proved even more painful. I can't imagine my 14-year-old dream daughter growing up without her mother. A month after my diagnosis, I underwent surgery to remove my pancreas and liver lesions. Unfortunately, the pancreas could not be removed due to cancer cells infiltrating the posterior wall of the portal vein. Portal vein prosthesis is not performed in Poland. The only solution is surgery. Pancreatic Cancer Center in Lisbon. I've just had my first consultation with the surgeon in Lisbon who performed the surgery to implant and remove my pancreas after the chemotherapy I'm currently undergoing. This offers a real possibility of recovery.
The professor has saved many patients in the same situation. This makes me realize that my life depends on 420,000.00 PLN. We believe it will work. We succeeded once, the second one will succeed.
We received a personalized cost estimate for treatment in Lisbon, including surgery, intensive care unit stay, a planned 30-day hospitalization, medical supplies, medications, laboratory tests, and imaging diagnostics. Additional costs include a caregiver's stay in Lisbon, private visits to specialist offices, non-reimbursed medications, a cancer patient support program, post-operative rehabilitation, and travel costs. The total cost of saving my life and curing me is 420,000.00 PLN.
