Hi, my name is Renata and I am fundraising money for my sister's cancer treatment.

She has been battling breast cancer for over three years and unfortunately, all treatments she tried so far have failed. Recent laboratory tests showed sensitivity to a medicine called Enhertu. This medicine is very effective, especially with the type of aggressive breast cancer she has.

Unfortunately, Enhertu is very expensive and I would like to raise money so she can afford the medicine and start the treatment as soon as possible.

Below is her full story, please take time to read, share and donate if possible:

My name is Ilona Průchová, I am 41 years old. I am the mother of eight-year-old twins Nikolka and Simonka.

I have breast cancer with a very rare mutation, so the classic treatment offered to me here in the Czech Republic by our healthcare system and paid for by the insurance company is completely ineffective for me. However, world medicine offers certain treatment options for me as well. Unfortunately, the treatment abroad which I have funded myself until now, is so expensive that I can no longer afford it. Myself and my husband have exhausted all possibilities of our own resources obtained from the sale of the apartment, car and previous savings.

It all started in 2020 when I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. At the beginning of my journey, there was only intuition. I suspected that the treatment offered here would not help me. That's why I started looking for other options. After a year, I finally found a clinic in Germany where they were able to help me, and over the next eight months, they managed to remove the tumour from the breast with all the metastases in the lymph nodes and even the bones. In the spring of 2022, a follow-up PET CT and sonographic examination showed the affected areas of my body were finally cancer free.

Unfortunately in autumn 2022, the cancer returned.

I am currently being treated again in Germany. However the cancer cells are already resistant to the original substances and treatment, so it was necessary to find a new drug. I, therefore, had a very expensive and detailed analysis of the removed tumour tissue completed in a German laboratory.

This test showed that I have a special mutation that makes me resistant to the chemotherapy and biological treatment that I was supposed to receive. Fortunately, the test results revealed other possibilities and hope for a cure or at least a significant extension of life.
