Hodgkin lymphoma cancer

Donation protected
Hey, my name is Patryk and I'm 25 years old. Ever since I remember, my life was all about sport and healthy eating. On 14th February my world changed in a few minutes, and to be honest I don't remember much about that day, but one thing is certain - I found out that I have Hodgkin’s lymphoma.   It all started very innocently because of the dry skin that bothered me for many months. Then in January I was taken to hospital because I had a breathing problem. All tests were done, and a malignant cancer diagnosis was made…..   Lymphomas are a cancer of the white blood cells that play an important role in the body's immune system. They move in the blood and lymph nodes, and their task is to protect the body against all diseases, including cancer. Unfortunately, under certain circumstances they also undergo pathology. 10 years ago, this disease was considered incurable. Some patients' lives could be extended, but permanent cures were rare. Today, early diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma can cure up to 90% patients.   I was working since I was 17 years old. Unfortunately, because of my diagnosis and my current condition, I had to quit my job and move back to my parents who are currently supporting me. I do not feel comfortable with it, however, even if I wanted to, I could not go to work, or help them in their household duties in any way because even after a shower or after walking 100 meters I’m breathless and I’m souls, it is also caused by water in lungs, that's why I need your financial support so badly now.  On 28th February I will start intensive chemotherapy which I will have every two weeks for a half year. Despite the advanced stage of cancer, I have a positive attitude, strength and faith that I can beat it!    Thank you for all donations, help and support, I am really grateful.   ‘We have two lives, and the second begins whenwe realize we only have one.’ Confucius
