For some \u2013 already 68, but for me \u2013 only 68.<\/p>\n<p>It all started half a year ago with persistent hoarseness that wouldn&#039;t go away. Thanks to a quick diagnosis and a professional medical team, I heard the diagnosis: <strong>Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma with nodular sclerosis<\/strong>, intermediate form with risk factor.<\/p>\n<p>The PET scan showed multiple lesions at the level of the lymph nodes in the mediastinum, paratracheal areas and in the hilum of both lungs. I thought at that moment: &quot;This is impossible, I feel healthy.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>I have been working at an oncology institute for years, helping patients struggling with cancer. Now I myself have become a patient. In August 2024, I had lymph nodes removed from my neck and supraclavicle, and in September I started ABVD chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time I took <strong>non-reimbursed supportive treatment<\/strong>, aimed at rebuilding my immune system. Chemotherapy destroys cancer cells, but also healthy cells, weakening the body and bone marrow. To continue fighting the disease, I need to start radiotherapy as soon as possible, but the weakening of the body prevents this for now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The chance to continue the treatment is further supportive therapy.<\/strong>, which helps strengthen the body. Unfortunately, the costs of treatment, supplementation, intravenous infusions and travel from Silesia to Warsaw amount to more than <strong>15,000 PLN per month<\/strong>. Up until now I had been covering all my expenses myself, but our savings have run out, but our expenses have.<\/p>\n<p>I have always told others: &quot;Money is an acquired thing, it cannot decide about your life.&quot; Today I am asking for help to continue fighting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My dream? To beat my illness and fulfill a promise I made to my deceased parents \u2013 to continue to care for my disabled brother who requires constant assistance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your support will open the door for me to this path.<br \/>I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help, kindness and goodness. They really do wonders.<\/p>\n<p>Gratefully,<br \/><strong>Zenek<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dream?
