Cuba is struggling with Nijmegen Syndrome and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma

Let's give the floor to his mother, who can best describe what her son faced:

"Kuba was born 10 years ago with the diagnosis: Nijmegen Syndrome - NBS. It is a genetic defect. It manifests itself with microcephaly and congenital immunodeficiency.

Due to the gene mutation, more than 40% of patients develop malignancies. In addition to the conditions associated with the defect, Kubuś is a boy with moderate intellectual disabilities. Despite all adversities, he is a happy boy, like any 10-year-old who enjoys computer games and playing with his peers, especially his cousins and his dog.

We are under the constant care of the Children's Health Center in Warsaw. Unfortunately, in November a seed of uncertainty was planted in us that we thought we would never hear about. During a routine check-up, Kuba was noticed to have enlarged lymph nodes in the ear and collarbone area. After that, everything went very quickly.

We ended up at the "Cape of Hope" in Wroclaw for a more in-depth diagnosis. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenarios were confirmed.

Cuba contracted T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. We always hoped it would never happen. In a few days we had to reevaluate our lives. The long road of fighting for Kuba's health has begun in front of us, which, unfortunately, is occupied by financial problems.

Living on two houses, commuting to the clinic, specialized supplementation, hygiene products and high-quality cosmetics to mitigate the effects of chemotherapy require additional financial outlay. Currently, my husband is the only person supporting our family.

I have never liked to ask people for help, because we have always managed despite adversity. Unfortunately, this time it is very difficult, and I ask people of good will to help us get through this uncertain time for us. Every zloty will help improve Kubus' comfort in staying in this not necessarily cool place.

In addition, I encourage everyone who has the opportunity to do so to register with a bone marrow donor bank. YOU CAN SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE. Who knows, maybe even our Kubusi.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help.

Kubusia's mom - Kasia."

The liver has started to work less well, but the doctors are doing what they can and repairing what the chemo has devastated. The 33rd day of intensive treatment in the clinic has passed, and as a result, it's time to check whether the lymph nodes have "repaired", because let's not forget - Cuba has T-lymphoblastic lymphoma.

And here we can report optimistic news! The boy's body responded very nicely to chemotherapy, which caused the nodes to return to normal. There is one left - the largest one under the waist, but the attending doctor said that it is not so dangerous.

Currently, now Kuba and his mother are waiting for better results to "bounce back" a little after the first cycle and move on with the second. And then the boy is waiting "only" or "as far as" transplantation. Please support this brave Warrior!
