The diagnosis came on his birthday
On May 22, 2025, the day of her fifth birthday, Livia was admitted to a hospital in Dzierżoniów. It was there, in the girl's tiny head, that doctors diagnosed a brain tumor. This diagnosis, so absolute and sudden, did not give loved ones a moment to pause or space to emotionally relive what had happened. An immediate decision was made to urgently transport Livia to the Upper Silesian Children's Health Center in Katowice. From that moment, everything began to happen at a dizzying pace.
Neurosurgery, chemo and uncertainty while waiting for next results
Four days later, on May 26, Prof. Marek Madera and his team of neurosurgeons performed surgery to remove the tumor. The procedure was a technical success, but its outcome did not bring relief. Histopathological tests confirmed the malignant nature of the lesion. The diagnosis was grim: medulloblastoma—an extremely aggressive and rare cancer of the central nervous system that most often affects young children.
The beginning of a difficult road
Livka has undergone her first cycle of cancer treatment—the one that opens the door to further therapy and shows what a demanding opponent she is facing. The girl was admitted to the pediatric oncology ward in Katowice on June 10, and since then, her daily life has been subordinated to hospital procedures. She has further stages of therapy ahead of her, including radiotherapy, and further decisions that will depend on the results of diagnostic tests, including spinal fluid testing. Every day is a challenge that tests the child's strength with a precision that no one is prepared for.
Everyday life with cancer
Each day is not only a medical challenge, but also a huge organizational and emotional effort for the entire family.
Her world has closed in the walls of the hospital. In this new reality, every moment of peace, every smile, every kind word means more than ever before.
The fight against medulloblastoma is not only a heroic battle against the disease, but also a huge financial burden. Every day of treatment means new expenses: supportive medications, supplementation, neurological rehabilitation, specialized diet, commuting and round-the-clock care. For the parents, this means a constant balancing act between being there for their daughter and organizing the support needed to continue treatment.
The hand you extend today - could be the one that saves Livia's childhood.
