Immediately <strong>a mastectomy was performed, the breast and all axillary lymph nodes were removed<\/strong>. Then came endless months of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. My strength slowly ebbed, but I didn&#039;t stop fighting - I wanted to live!<\/p>\n<p><strong>In 2018, a tumor was discovered in his lungs, which required the removal of half of his lung. <\/strong>The daily struggle with lack of breath made the treatment a real nightmare.

It was a time of unimaginable pain and grief.<br \/><strong>In this chaos, the disease progressed to its final, fourth stage. Multiple metastases were diagnosed in the bones and lungs.<\/strong> My ribs crack even when I cough.
