Acute lymphoblastic leukemia❗ Natan begins his fight❗.

The pain that had a name

First there were long days of fatigue and leg pain that the child's body could not bear. Then the falling results, getting lower and lower with each test, and finally that March morning at the hospital in Olsztyn, where words heavier than anything the family had known so far were spoken - acute lymphoblastic leukemia with rearranged

Diagnosis without escape

A few days later, on March 17, doctors decided to implant a Broviac vascular port to begin the difficult treatment. Chemotherapy began according to the AIEOP-BFM ALL POLAND 2017 protocol. Natan's condition is today described as good, without metastases, but the road is still long and demanding. On September 11, the boy will enter the next stage - protocol two. Everything is, and will continue to be, going on within the walls of the Regional Children's Specialized Hospital in Olsztyn, where time passes differently - in the rhythm of hospital procedures and constant vigilance.

Daily life filled with struggle

At her son's bedside is his mother, who had to give up her job to be close by during every hour of uncertainty. Dad joins in whenever work allows, sharing responsibilities and care. Natan has two brothers and a sister. The presence of his siblings is his greatest support - and missing them is one of the most difficult experiences of daily life. The family remains strong, although the fear that the disease could return is always in the background.

Hope and the future

Natan dreams of running out on the field with a ball again - of an ordinary childhood, which today has been put on hold. That's why psychological support, rehabilitation and learning, which cannot wait for better days, become so important. This is what the funds from the collection will be used for - so that in addition to the fight for health, there is also space to rebuild strength, develop and return to passion.
