Marysia after leg amputation

June 28 2025

Dear friends, thank you very much for your support. First of all, prayerfully. You don't even know how risky this operation was. How many organs could have stopped working during. Previous chemotherapy could have damaged the heart, liver, kidneys. Any surgery is always risky. In Mary's case, this risk was very high. As one of you wrote in the operating room there was not enough room for all the angels who supported Marysia. Her first words while still in the elevator to the ward to the question: who are you? She answered: I am a winner. This is a sign that our spirited Marysia is coming back.

Recently, a lot of people have joined to support Mary. We welcome you warmly. Please respect Marysia, the other supporters. If you have a different world view, remember that you have the right to it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not everyone on Marysia's fanpage:) especially: if they insult others, question medicine or someone's faith. If you think you have a cure for cancer and you don't know for what type or subtype ie you are duplicating scientifically unproven information. Perhaps harmful to others and misleading. If you know a way to cure Mary then justify with statistics of curability of this particular disease. Doctors write to us on priv.

We can consult on this.

We are Catholics and being in community with the Church this fanpage will be run. Your persuasion in the comments that God does not exist will not change this, but it may be a chance for you to convert. We believe that medicine and the scientific approach can cure Marysia, but we also leave room for miracles. (Fides et ratio)

The leg was amputated because the cancer had taken up the entire femur and spread to such an extent that the leg could not be saved. An interdisciplinary team in Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù and surgeons in Poland were unanimous in this decision. We considered all other possibilities. The final irreversible decision is deeply justified. Osteosarcoma is unfortunately a malignant tumor and amputation of the leg is not the end of the problems. We have to kill grandpa and be sure that no cancer cells are left in the body. Therefore, this is not the end of treatment. Oncology treatment has been planned , priced and thanks to 100% collection paid for. Thank you!

Marysia needs peace of mind, wound healing and then adaptive rehabilitation and a hip prosthesis. Team Siepomaga.pl due to a new situation (leg amputation) has proposed to increase the collection goal to cover the cost of prostheses (which change as Mary grows) and rehabilitation. There will be a fundraising update soon.
