After that, everything happened in a flash - a visit to the ED, medical consultations took place there.

Several doctors agreed that it was a strain or discopathy. Nikodem was then admitted to the ward, a number of tests were ordered, including an MRI and a spinal puncture. The same day, as a matter of urgency, our Warrior was transported to a clinic in Poznan, where the MRI examination was repeated and a devastating diagnosis was made - malignant neoplasm, Burkitt's Lymphoma. A tumor on the spine compressing the spinal cord was the cause of pain and loss of feeling from the chest down. A few days later, there was a difficult surgery that lasted 8 hours, and after it was over, it was discovered that there were metastases to other organs.

A long and very tiring treatment process has begun, involving pain all over his body, his hair falling out and prolonged hospital stays. Nikodem currently moves around in a wheelchair, and faces a long rehabilitation to remove the effects of the tumor on his spine and to combat the paresis of his legs and parts of his torso. We encourage you to support this Warrior, any help, even the smallest, makes a difference and can significantly improve the comfort of treatment and recovery!
