The beginning of a dramatic story
March 2025 brought a change that Edyta could not have predicted. Her ordinary life, filled with the daily responsibilities of raising children, was interrupted by a diagnosis in September that immediately changed her perspective. The first biopsy, performed without any suspicion of a dramatic result, revealed an aggressive form of G3 breast cancer, a disease that entered her life suddenly and without warning. This news came at a time when Edyta was trying to rebuild stability after difficult months. Her disbelief that such a serious illness could affect her at the age of thirty-nine still resonates in every memory of that day.
A painful turning point
October 21, 2025, will forever remain an unforgettable day in her life. She underwent a mastectomy of her right breast, a life-saving procedure that simultaneously deprived her of her sense of security and a part of her femininity so strongly associated with the experience of motherhood. From that moment on, the prospect of recovery became a journey that would take many months.
Treatment scheduled for years
At the end of November, systemic therapy began, consisting of four cycles of red chemotherapy, followed by 12 cycles of white chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy, which will continue for many years. The treatment process will take about three years, and its intensity is taxing on both the body and the mind. Each stage brings side effects that make getting through a normal day require more determination than she has ever known before.
The burden of loneliness
Edyta is raising Hania and Antos alone. All household responsibilities rest on her shoulders, with the irreplaceable support of her sister and grandparents. Every morning becomes a challenge that requires not only physical strength but also inner stability. The most difficult moments are right after waking up, when pain and fatigue tell her that she could stay in bed.
Dreams must wait
Her studies in education, which she began with the aim of creating a safer future for children, gave her a sense of purpose and hope for stability. However, her illness prevented her from attending classes regularly. Commuting became too exhausting, and her concentration weakened to such an extent that it was difficult to keep up with her studies.
Despite this, she has not given up on the idea of returning to school one day, because she wants to give her children a better life.
Cancer took away her sense of security, built up over many years, and fear for the future became a constant companion in her everyday life. Edyta needs psychological support and psychiatric care, because the battle she is fighting is not only about her body, but also about the deep balance her children need.
Those who carry it in difficult times
Her parents and relatives on her future in-laws' side support her as much as they can and help her catch her breath in moments of greatest fatigue. Whenever she has the strength, she crochets small items, which give her a moment of relief and allow her to take her mind off the burden she carries every day. Although these moments are becoming increasingly rare, each one is priceless.
Necessary support
Long-term therapy, medical consultations, medication, travel, and rehabilitation create a burden that Edyta is unable to bear on her own. Every expense becomes a challenge, and single motherhood further exacerbates this difficulty.
Real support can become a source of strength for her, allowing her to go through the next stages of treatment with hope for the future she desires for her children.
