Katowice
Paweł was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Katowice Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Paweł is 52, worked as a primary school teacher until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Katowice Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,750 • Scans and lab work: $510 • Transport to Katowice Cancer Centre: $410 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210 • Household costs while unable to work: $820 Thanks for being kind about this.

        So sorry you're going through this, Piotr. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
