The pain that turned out to be a warning

The first symptom was a mild pain under her right rib, which gradually grew more intense. After a few months, Justyna saw her family doctor, who referred her for an urgent ultrasound. It was during this exam that a tumor was detected on her kidney. The diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma. Due to the size of the tumor, it was necessary to remove the entire kidney.

Step-by-Step Treatment

The surgery took place at the University Clinical Center in Gdańsk in November 2025. Justyna is currently undergoing immunotherapy; she travels every three weeks for her medication infusion and undergoes follow-up imaging tests every three months. This phase of treatment is scheduled for the coming months, after which the doctors will decide on the next steps. This is a time that requires consistency and patience, during which each trip for treatment usually takes up the entire day.

The family that's there for her

Justyna’s family—her husband and three children—helps her with her daily responsibilities and supports her. They are the ones who most often accompany her on all-day trips for treatment: she goes for her infusions and tests with her husband, her older son, or her daughter. Her illness has prevented Justyna from working; she has been certified as having a significant degree of disability, which is why the presence and help of her loved ones are invaluable to her today.

The activity he wants to return to

Justyna used to be a very active person—she rode a bike and loved hiking in the mountains with her family. Her illness has taken that away from her for now, but it is precisely those active moments together that hold the promise of a normal life, to which she longs to return with all her might: movement, open spaces, and time spent with her loved ones in nature.

Let's help Justyna get to her treatment

The funds raised will be used primarily to cover travel expenses for infusions and follow-up exams, which are an integral part of her treatment but also a significant burden, as each trip involves a full day on the road and at the hospital. Every donation provides Justyna with real relief and greater peace of mind, allowing her to focus on what matters most: her treatment, regaining her strength, and returning to an active life with her family. Let’s help her get through this phase knowing that she is not alone.
