Anka Kawiak – Łydka, a 37-year-old woman, raises a 12-year-old daughter, has two cats, a bicycle, rented flat, a job she loves – just the trivial and ordinary life we see every day. Anka also has a lymphoma – she faced a challenge. In 2017, she was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the immune system – Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The first line of treatment brought short-term remissions. Currently, the disease has returned – Anka is in the course of stronger chemotherapy and will be preparing for autograft.

Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer that develops mainly in the lymph nodes and other lymphatic organs. It accounts for about 1% of all cancers in Poland and mainly affects young people. 30% of patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma do not respond to standard therapies. This disease usually affects people younger than 40 years of age.

Anka needs our help to have the strength to fight this ruthless opponent.
