Justyna continues her fight against cancer!


Justyna is 23 years old and lives in a small village in Poland. In 2011 she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The doctors in Poland have done everything in their power to save Justyna, unfortunately, conventional medicine in Poland was helpless after the cancer unexpectedly came back in 2015. 

In the late 2016, Justyna's condition was worsening dramatically with every day that has passed.  The tumor had spread into the spinal cord. This time the chemo did not help and with the growth of the tumor Justyna had lost ability to walk. 


We are in the process of treating our last chance! A brain tumor is a terribly difficult opponent, which is why this fight is extremely demanding. However, had Justyna remained in Poland, there would be no question of a fight because she would not be with us anymore. The medicine there is helpless. 

Fortunately, Justyna is a fighter. She continues to fight and will not give up and until the cancer finally gives up. 


Thanks to people with generous hearts, Justyna is still alive. In April she flew to a clinic in Monterrey, Mexico - the one remaining place that gave her hope to save her. Tumors in the core have largely decreased and there is continuing hope that they will completely disappear. Justyna has been given chemo through the femoral artery to the spinal cord and through the Ommaya reservoir directly to the head, because detailed diagnostics showed that the tumor is there.  


In addition to cancer, there is one more enemy - the passage of time. By February 4, we have to pay for the next cycle of chemotherapy, for which we have no money. Then for the next cycle after that ... We are afraid to think about what will happen if we do not make our goal. The cancer will not wait, it will not give us more time.

This is why, Justyna, family and friends are asking for your generosity again.  
 
To all those who do not know me. My name is Kazimierz Szymanski and I am Justyna's uncle. I live with my family in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. All the proceeds from your generous donations will be send directly to Justyna and her mother Anna Drag to help them with medical expenses while continuing treatment at the clinic in Monterrey, Mexico. I have set up weekly withdrawals from GoFundMe account into a personal account and later the money will be wired to Justyna's and her mom's account in Poland. If you would like a proof of the withdrawals and wire transfers please contact me in private and I will be happy to provide you with this information. The photo below is of Justyna showing proof that indeed I am her uncle and that I am authorized to collect donations on her behalf.

Thank you
