My name is Victoria. At the age of 17, I received a diagnosis that changed my life forever – advanced malignant choroidal melanoma. Immediate surgery was necessary to remove the eyeball and insert an implant.

When it seemed that the disease would not return, After five years I was diagnosed with multiple liver metastases. In the Krakow oncology hospital I learned that the only chance for treatment is weekly trips to Warsaw for modern therapy with the drug Kimmtrak.

I have been traveling regularly for treatment for over two years and have undergone many procedures such as chemoembolization, radiotherapy and gamma knife, because in the meantime further metastases appeared, including to the brain. All this involves constant travel and hospital stays far from home, which is a huge financial burden for me and my loved ones.

For me, each payment is a chance to continue treatment, fight for health and the ability to fulfill dreams and enjoy life with my boyfriend and family - despite the difficulties that fate puts before me.

Thank you for all your financial support and for donating 1.5% of tax for my treatment.
