My name is Agnieszka and I will be 33 years old in August. I have always led an active lifestyle and I still want to do so. Three years ago, I discovered a change in my breast myself. It bothered me. I observed the change and noticed that it was slightly but steadily increasing. I was working seasonally in the Netherlands at the time, so I decided to come to Poland and do a breast ultrasound. It was December. I called the clinic and tried to make an appointment as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it turned out that there was no deadline. I spent Christmas with my family, but in the back of my mind I had this thought - What is it? Is it cancer? Should I be worried or not? The thought slowly dawned on me that I might have cancer. But me? At that age?<\/p>\n
I waited 5 weeks for a breast ultrasound. Unfortunately, the truth turned out to be cruel. The doctor confirmed my suspicions and ordered a biopsy. During the first examination, unfortunately, the doctor took too little material, so the examination showed nothing. I felt that change was unfolding during this time. I was already thinking about the worst. I called the clinic and made an appointment for another biopsy. My gut feeling wasn't wrong. At the end of June 2021, I received a call in the evening from the doctor who was performing the examination. I heard that I have it breast cancer <\/strong>and I will have to undergo chemotherapy. It was the worst day of my life.<\/p>\n I started treatment. All plans and dreams went aside. I faced a very strong opponent. I believed and was optimistic. The chemistry worked. After the red series of infusions there was remission. I was happy. Then I took 12 doses of white chemicals, which I tolerated worse. Skin problems and allergies started. In addition, sleep problems. Towards the end of this series I was going through Covid which made my insomnia worse. Before the end of the year, I underwent genetic testing. I waited over a month for the results. They clearly showed mutations in the brca2 and chek2 genes. This meant I had to undergo a mastectomy. After consultations with an oncological surgeon, I decided to undergo a subcutaneous mastectomy with two-stage breast reconstruction. The surgery took place on March 24, 2022. Everything went well.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, not so long ago I found out about a recurrence in my bones. There was a large meta change in the vertebrae which led to a vertebral fracture. For this reason, I had to undergo surgery to insert an implant into the cervical spine and undergo stabilization. Then I was recommended spine irradiation. Moreover, I will have to undergo irradiation of the hip bone, because the PET scan also showed a change there. In addition, I am undergoing hormone therapy.<\/p>\n Treatment involves huge costs. The facility I chose is located over 100 km from my place of residence. I want to spend the funds I collect mainly on travel to the hospital as well as consultations and specialist tests. I also undergo rehabilitation all the time.<\/p>\n Despite my health problems, I am a cheerful person and I try to smile a lot. I believe in a better tomorrow. I am making a huge request to people with big hearts to donate to my subaccount. I will be extremely grateful to you!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I raise a 15-year-old son alone, who has only me.
