Ewing's sarcoma is back! Marcelina is once again fighting to regain her health and live a cancer-free life

The pain came on suddenly, after a normal day at school. Marcelina’s left arm started to hurt as if she had simply overexerted herself or bumped it while playing. None of us thought at the time that this would be the beginning of her battle with cancer.
It all started with pain in my hand
In October 2023, Marcelina came home from school and started complaining of pain in her arm. It was just another Friday: a typical return home and a pain that, in a child, is so easily explained away as the result of playing or overexertion during PE class. But this wasn’t just any pain.
After the MRI, we were referred to the Mother and Child Institute in Warsaw. There, a biopsy of my left radius was performed. The diagnosis came quickly—too quickly for us to prepare for it: Ewing’s sarcoma of the radius. A malignant bone tumor!
The treatment was intended to stop the disease
Marcelina began intensive treatment. She underwent nine cycles of preoperative chemotherapy. Each subsequent hospital stay brought fear, weakness, tests, IVs, and the anxiety of waiting to see if the treatment was working.
In April 2024, she underwent surgery to remove a tumor from the radius, followed by reconstruction using a vascularized autograft from her own ulna. After the surgery, she underwent five more cycles of chemotherapy.
In July 2024, Marcelina completed her treatment. After months of hospital stays, chemotherapy, and anxiety, there was hope that we would finally be able to return to normal life.
But we heard that the cancer had returned
Unfortunately, in 2025, the disease returned. A biopsy of the soft tissue in the left forearm confirmed the recurrence.
Marcelina had already been through so much, and yet she had to face another battle. Her illness once again interrupted her schooling, separated her from her peers, and confined her daily life to the hospital ward. Marcelina proved to be very brave. She underwent several rounds of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, followed by surgery to remove the tumor.
Our family spends our time between home and the hospital
The illness has changed our family's life. Marcelina spent an average of two weeks in the hospital and one week at home. Marcelina will begin radiation therapy soon.
Our daily lives have been divided between the hospital ward, home, school, work, and the constant struggle to keep everything under control. Trips to the hospital take over our entire lives. We have to make up for the time we miss at work. Marcelina’s siblings are suffering from the separation, though we try to make sure the illness doesn’t rob them of their childhood. The worst part is that we simply can’t be together.
Please support me
We still have further treatment, check-ups, rehabilitation, and the struggle to regain our strength ahead of us. This means more trips and arranging care. The funds will be used for medication, rehabilitation, travel, accommodation, and to cover living expenses during our stays away from home. That is why we are asking for your help. Every donation will be a huge help to us.
We wanted to believe that the worst was behind us. Now we believe that the future lies ahead for Marcelina.
