TOSIA AGAINST BRAIN TUMOR!
Update:
Tosia underwent surgery at the clinic in Tubingen. Thank you all for your help.
Tosia’s story:
Please help and support our beloved Tosia! On 25/01/2019 our world collapsed when a brain tumor was detected in our 5-year-old daughter by magnetic resonance.
Tosia has always been a lively, happy and very resolute girl. She loves books, stickers, drawing and singing his beloved songs aloud. Nothing, however, portended that the beginning of the year will be the most difficult period in our lives … The first symptom was drooping eyelid and problems with eyeball movement, unexpected diagnosis crushed us completely. Everything fell into a thousand pieces and happened so fast.
Tosia underwent a tumor biopsy at the Children’s Health Center in Warsaw, which left us with the following sentence: ganglioglioma, due to it’s location almost inoperable.
The tumor is very deep, in a place called “life”, which controls a lot of vital functions. Such tumor in the head is like a ticking bomb, it grows, it increases pressure in the skull, it puts pressure on many centers in the brain, first it will prevent Tosia from opening the entire eye, then there will be problems with breathing, swallowing, etc.
What’s more, Tosia is currently suffering from a complication after a biopsy: left-sided paresis and a cyst that causes additional pressure. We have spent the last months on intensified daughter rehabilitation and on the purchase of specialist orthoses and rehabilitation aids. Tosia works very hard with physiotherapists and her mobility improved a lot. It is not as it was before the diagnosis, but we do not give up, although we know that there is still a long way to go.
In May Tosia had a control resonance, which unfortunately showed that the cyst that was to absorb, increased three times and combined with the tumor. The problem with increasing pressure in the skull and hydrocephalus, or other symptoms associated with the growing tumor may be a matter of days.
We as a parents must act, that is why we consult various specialists to get to know as many opinions as possible. We consulted with prof. Schuhmann from Tübingen (Germany), who gave a second chance to many Polish children and is an outstanding specialist in the field of neurosurgery. Paradoxically, the cyst due to its location opened up the possibility of getting into the tumor so as not to damage the nerve connections.
What’s more, the clinic has equipment that will protect Tosi’s brain structures and allow her to return to a normal life. The successful operation of tumor removal is currently 50-80% (previously only 30%). This is our only chance!
Unfortunately, the operation involves huge costs and that is why we are asking you today for assistance. We can not do it alone. The biggest and most important battle is ahead of us for her daughter’s life!
Every minute counts, because it means that the operation is more likely to succeed. Please, help Tosia get back to her old carefree childhood. Let’s help her laugh with her little sister Fela and come back to her beloved kindergarten. Let’s help her live!
