Years in the shadow of illness
The tumor first appeared when she was just 15 years old. An inconspicuous thickening on the right side of her neck, it grew larger over time , eventually reaching the size of a walnut. Over the following years, Yuliya underwent multiple surgeries - in Ukraine, Belarus, then Poland. Radiation therapy, more treatments, hopes and recurrences. The disease never went away for long; it always returned, accompanying her for years to come.
The current struggle
As of October 2023, Yuliya is undergoing systematic chemotherapy with a regimen of Paclitaxel + Carboplatin.
Yuliya has been suffering from inoperable submandibular salivary gland cancer with metastasis to the lungs for 23 years.
She undergoes another cycle every week and a follow-up CT scan every three months. Despite treatment, the cancer has spread.
Today Yuliya is facing a recurrence of submandibular salivary gland and multiple metastases in the lungs - the current face of her disease.
The burden of everyday life
Weekly chemotherapy, and the following two days in which the body refuses to obey, makes it extremely difficult for Yuliya to find steady work. Thus, the struggle against the disease is intertwined with the struggle for basic needs. However, the woman keeps trying, because life doesn't slow down, and there are bills to pay after all.
The mother and her strength
Yuliya is divorced. She lives in Gdansk, Poland, together with her eight-year-old son. Her 14-year-old daughter has settled in Poland with her dad. Her children are her greatest motivation to endure successive cycles of chemotherapy, to undertake work despite devastation, and to persist against all odds.
Hope in our help
The funds needed are not just expensive therapies or experimental treatments, but the basics - life, daily life, the ability to pay for a roof over one's head. Help for Yuliya is not only a gesture of solidarity with a sick person, but a chance for her children not to lose their sense of security in the face of their beloved mother's ongoing battle.
Alone in her daily struggle, with her children by her side, she asks for help to last and survive.
