Highlights
Update
A difficult period of treatment and complications Nela has been in the hospital since March 2. The past few weeks have been extremely difficult for Nela. Treatment was temporarily suspended before the next round of chemotherapy due to a drastic drop in immunity.An infection with no clear cause
His stay in the ward began with a high fever. Despite the tests that were conducted, it remained unclear for a long time what was causing it. Antibiotics and antifungal treatment were started, but The combustion parameters began to change in ways that were difficult to predict. Improvements were interspersed with setbacks.
Unexpected diagnosis
In mid-March, Just before she was due to be discharged from the hospital, Nela's condition took a turn for the worse again. His fever reached 40°C. A rash appeared shortly thereafter. Chickenpox has been diagnosed. For children with cancer This is a particularly challenging situation.The need for isolation and further treatment
Nela was transferred to the infectious disease observation ward. Pustular lesions also appeared around the Broviac catheter, which further complicated the treatment and required constant monitoring. Breathing difficulties also arose, and oxygen support was required. A CT scan was performed during her stay. We are still waiting for the results. Nela's body is clearly weakened. After chemotherapy, she stopped walking, and subsequent infections further sapped her strength.
The first signs of improvement
Nela's condition is now gradually improving. The chickenpox lesions are healing, and the fever has subsided. The body is slowly returning to balance. If this trend continues, it will be possible to leave the hospital and take a short break to recover before resuming treatment. March 26, 2026

"We fear most the day when we will run out of strength, and she will still be fighting." - parents
Ignored signals
A week before the diagnosis , Nela's father felt two small lumps on her head. Concerned, her parents immediately sought help, visiting several doctors, including the hospital emergency room. Each consultation ended with reassurances that it was most likely the result of a bump that would go away on its own.
However, her body began sending further signals. Problems with bowel movements and bleeding prompted doctors to order follow-up tests. Blood tests revealed the presence of blasts. From that moment on, everything happened very quickly. Without hesitation or delay, Nela was transported to Warsaw.
Diagnosis
Further tests confirmed the worst-case scenario. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia type B. Bone marrow affected in 92.2 percent. The tumors on his head turned out to be infiltrations into the central nervous system, although fortunately the cerebrospinal fluid remained clear.
Treatment began immediately. Biopsy, punctures, steroids, tomography. After two or three days, the infiltrates began to recede and the first, very fragile hope appeared. Shortly thereafter, however, came the news that was the second blow.
Poor response to treatment
On the fifteenth day of treatment, it became apparent that the response to treatment was insufficient. Nela was classified as high risk for recurrence. This meant more severe, more aggressive chemotherapy and a long, exhausting road to recovery.
A few days after the diagnosis, a Broviac catheter was inserted. From that moment on, frequent hospital stays became a regular part of the two-year-old's daily life.
A small body in a big fight
Nela is currently undergoing her third block of high-risk treatment. She still has Protocol 2 and maintenance treatment ahead of her. Chemotherapy has clearly affected her mobility. The girl has difficulty moving and spends most of her time in her father's arms, snuggled up, as if only there could she find comfort, safety, and a sense of security in a world that has suddenly shrunk to a hospital room.
The disease affects every aspect of family life.
The tragedy struck just as the family was celebrating the birth of a long-awaited little sister, who was only two months old when Nela was diagnosed. The whole family moved to Warsaw.
Dad had no choice. Since January 1, he has been on unpaid leave and has been with Nela in the hospital the entire time. Mom and Aurelka live right next door, at Ronald McDonald House, so they can be as close as possible to their older daughter without losing the opportunity to care for their seven-month-old baby. The parents take turns caring for Nela every day, as long as her condition allows it and she doesn't experience mood swings after taking steroids, because then she doesn't want to let her dad go.
When the family is together at Ronald McDonald House, Nela requires much more attention and closeness, and every moment spent together is subordinated to her needs and well-being. Sometimes they manage to swap care duties, sometimes the grandmothers help out. In the most difficult moments, Nela's parents are there for her together. The girls rarely see each other. Isolation has become a necessity.
Why we are asking for help
Nela's treatment will take a long time and is already generating enormous costs, which are placing an increasing burden on the family with each passing day.
Today, everything is subordinated to one goal: to give Nela a chance at health and a future. The question remains: how long will the family be able to bear this burden without support?
We do not choose the moment when life stops, but it is up to us to decide with what force it will start flowing again.
