Donate 1.5% tax for Marysia by the Slice of Heaven Foundation

I was born in 2016 and have been battling a brain tumor since 2018. Medulloblastoma is a malignant cerebellar tumor that interrupted my childhood and shattered my family's entire life so far.

I was treated at the Vatican's Bambino Gesu Hospital in Rome for more than a year and go there every six months for check-ups. I currently attend a special kindergarten in Warsaw, where I have a lot of rehabilitation. At the hospital in Lublin, I am under endocrinological control, as I take daily growth hormone injections and thyroid hormone medication. I have undergone many surgeries, many cycles of chemotherapy and megachemia. I have a ventriculo-peritoneal valve and a port in the posterior chamber in my head. 

I turned my apartment into a rehabilitation room, where I have different therapies every day, because I believe in regaining full fitness. After completing oncology treatment, after rehabilitating and recovering for more than a year, I had a cerebrospinal fluid infection in 2021 that led to sepsis, which I battled for 3 months in a hospital in Rome in intensive care. 

Unfortunately, I had to once again achieve the same results in rehabilitation for which so cI was working hard 2 years earlier. I am under the care of: oncologist, psychologist, neurosurgeon, neurologist, endocrinologist, cardiologist, dermatologist, ophthalmologist, physiotherapists and physical therapists.

Despite the pain and suffering I have gone through, I am a cheerful girl and love life. You can find me by typing #kotekMarysi
