Unfortunately, 10 months after the previous oncological treatment, related to Osteosarcoma (osteosarcoma, osteosarcoma), a malignant cancer of the tibia, the cancer returned with redoubled force.

Metastases have appeared in the lungs and hip, putting great doubt on the results of months of exercise and rehabilitation of the operated leg. The young Warrior is facing this type of treatment for the third time in his life. When he was just 6 months old, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After chemotherapy, he was implanted with a ventriculo-peritoneal valve, which was replaced three times in the later years of his life.

Cancer has left significant consequences in the form of childhood autism, the effects of which Olek still faces today. He needs specialized psychological and pedagogical care and therapy, as well as support from family members in self-care and coping with emotions. Therefore, the most appropriate and the only possible form of learning for Olek at that time was one-on-one teaching, taking place remotely via the Internet.

Knowing the magnitude of the unpleasant consequences of online learning for all children and adolescents during a pandemic, we can imagine how the lack of social support from peers and teachers, as well as the need to protect his health from infections, affect the mental condition of Olek, who - as he himself emphasizes with incredible maturity - feels much older and experienced than his age would indicate.

Despite his autism, Olek is very aware that he could die, as doctors starting at age 16 talk to him as if he were an adult, informing him of the diagnosis and treatment options.

All of this causes him to face the mental pain of touching the boundary of life and death too soon, and his reflections indicate a maturity that many adults are unable to achieve.

Despite the plans agreed with the school management for individual teaching at home, in lively contact with teachers, and even a possible return to the school environment, unfortunately, due to the double metastasis of the cancer and the chemotherapy that has begun, even remote lessons are held sporadically. In the near future, Olek faces continued chemotherapy, surgery and probably a long and arduous rehabilitation.

Our hero's family situation is not easy and very complex, as at the same time Alexander's mother, who, along with her son, is burdened with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, a rare genetic predisposition to cancer, is facing cancer. The costs associated with treating such atypical cancers are very high and beyond the means of Olek's family.

Medications, dietary supplements, travel to the clinic, planned rehabilitation - all of these have to be paid for, and Olek's treatment can only be reimbursed from the National Health Service to a certain extent. Every opportunity, even the smallest one, to support a collection to save the life of our Warrior will bring him relief from pain and hope to save his promising young life.
