Help save 12 year old girl from recurring cancer
Donation protected
My name is Michalina (Michelle M.) Dynda. I’m a 12 years old American girl living in Cracow, Poland. A year ago, in January 2018 I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in my right thigh bone. After few months of severe chemotherapy the doctors proceeded with surgery. A part of my thigh bone, together with the knee were removed and replaced with endoprosthese. Of course, it was not over, there were still several rounds of chemo to undergo. After 9 months I was released and was able to start with rehab – I had to learn to move and walk on my leg again. I was working at rehab very hard and quickly the crutches were gone, I could walk again!
Unfortunately, my happiness wasn’t long lived, after two months I started to feel some pain in the leg again, this time in its lower part. The pain was getting stronger every day. Finally, CT was done in January 2019 and it brought very bad news – the tumor was back, it metastased! It’s in the lungs too, now. I am back into hospital, the crutches and a wheelchair are back, my hair is gone again and I am undergoing all sorts of tests and chemotherapy, of course. I feel so sad... Fortunately I love reading, drawing and other arts and crafts; it helps me to get by... Some of my drawings and paintings you can see here and on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/michelle_m_dynda_arts/
But we are about to start a new phase in my therapy and recovery, I am going to be admitted to Memorial Sloan Kettering Center of New York to radically change a course of my treatment. We need to hit the tumor hard and get rid of it forever! It's going to be a costly battle, though.
If you would like to contribute to my struggle with sickness you can do it by making a donation here.
Thank you!
