The diagnosis came completely unexpectedly, after a series of regular tests. It started with abnormal results - blood in the urine, which initially did not cause concern. However, cystoscopy revealed a tumor on the bladder, and the histopathology results after the tumor removal surgery brought a brutal diagnosis:\u00a0<strong data-stringify-type=\"bold\">low-grade urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">After this diagnosis, intensive treatment began. In July and August 2024, I underwent radiochemotherapy. Due to the fact that\u00a0<strong data-stringify-type=\"bold\">I only have one kidney<\/strong>, a milder chemotherapy (gemcitabine monotherapy) was used to avoid damaging the healthy organ. Unfortunately,\u00a0<strong data-stringify-type=\"bold\">irradiation caused radiation sickness<\/strong>, which makes my everyday life very difficult.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In addition, a recent colonoscopy revealed that\u00a0<strong data-stringify-type=\"bold\">my intestines were narrowed<\/strong>. For this reason, there is a risk of their obstruction. Despite this, I try to maintain hope for improvement. In order to stop the development of metastases and improve the quality of life after devastating radiochemotherapy, it is necessary to undergo anti-cancer treatment, which is not reimbursed in Poland. Until now, the treatment <strong>it has already cost over 30,000 PLN<\/strong>, and the further treatment plan is associated with further very high costs.<br \/>The aim of this treatment is\u00a0<strong data-stringify-type=\"bold\">increasing my very low immunity, stopping the multiplication of cancer cells and monitoring them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Unfortunately, the National Health Fund does not finance such therapies, offering help only when metastases have already appeared. Additionally, the fact that I only have one kidney may prevent me from using heavy chemotherapy. I do not want to wait until the situation worsens. I do not want to allow further metastases, which is why I am turning to you with a huge request for help. Your support is invaluable to me. Every z\u0142oty brings me closer to the chance for further treatment and a better future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every helping hand.
