The surgery is the only hope for life without pain!

My name is Kinga, I’m 38 years old. I have visited Siepomaga.pl to help others not once, not even twice… I’ve visited it countless times. I have never thought I will find myself here in such a situation….as the one who needs others’ help…life can change drastically and diametrically in just one moment. Suddenly, you lose everything: dreams, work, friends… Today, I’m begging you for help because the operation is my only hope.

Unfortunately, when we are convinced that our health is at its best, because we see our doctors regularny and they claim that everything is okay, no thought like „What would happen if I suddenly got to know that I have fallen ill?” enters our head. That is completely understandable as an illness / disease is always associated with the worst that may happen to us. None even tries to think about it... Well, I was in a similar situation….

When you see a young, smiling woman the first thought that comes to your mind is that she must be extremely happy! She must be fulfilled, she must have a good job and lots of dreams to come true. It is hard to believe that the same person, who never complains and always smiles, is critically ill.

It turns out that the illness caught me unaware a long time ago when I was a teenager but I would never think it was so serious. I had suffered a lot of pains since I remembered. Me and my parents were looking for help in many places but most doctors used to claim that it was normal that women suflered and had some aches during monthly period. „That’s your nature…” they said. „You have low pain threshold…” they would add. For years my problems had been ignored, and I had been mocked. For such a long time none had paid attention to my collapses or my visits at the casualty department. My constant gynecological, urological, gastric and neurological problems seemed like a never-ending story. And finally, the reason of my problems was found!

„Profoundly infiltrating endometriosis” – that’s the wrongdoer….it’s HER – an insidious disease which attacks the body like a silent killer…it destroys everything on its way….it steals the sheer joy of life. At the beginning it snatches away the teenage girl’s, and later, the woman’s dignity…it makes you resign from your life and career plans because of constant pains and aches. Unfortunately, such was the case with me.

Endometriosis is vicious. The location of the outbreak of the disease may vary. The most common organs that may be infected are ovaries, peritoneum, bladder, kidneys, Fallopian tube or intestines. It is not rare to find the outbreak in distant organs like, for example, liver, stomach, lungs or brain. It is outrageous when this disease takes your whole life, leaving nothing at all. Endometriosis ruins everything. It deprives you of all your prospects for a happy life.

Because of the disease I had to resign from my studies, my beloved job, my hobby or even from social life. I wake up and I fall asleep feeling terrible pain. It is an integral part of my life. I need to take stronger and stronger painkillers to be able to function somehow….

I have been operated on three times. The first two surgeries were disastrous for me. People are usually convinced that if you go to hospital and undergo an operation, everything will be in perfect order. You will for sure feel better. None will ever even think that something may go wrong or that something may be worse than before the operation. Such was the case with me.

The last operation was the so called „life-saving operation”. It was performed in a private clinic by well-qualified doctors and nurses. It was really good. After each of the surgeries I thought:  „That must be the last time I have been operated on…SOON this hell will be over…”. Many times have I been given hope for recovery and normal life….Unfortunately, none of the promises has been fulfilled so far. I have visited a countless number of medical specialists… all appointments have been made in a private healthcare.

Two years ago I finally found doctors who have been well trained to treat my disease. That was another time when I hoped for a happy ending. I thought that it was going to be the last time I would have to face the disease and fight for a better life without any pain. After having some medical tests done and after a thorough interview with the doctors I got to know I would need an urgent surgery. My intestines have stopped working properly, there are adhesions and tissue infiltrations. My bowel is so deformed that it may be necessary to have it resected. I need to have my uterus together with Fallopian tubes removed, which shatters my dreams of maternity forever. I have made the most important and the most painful decision of my life – I will sacrifice my motherhood for life without pain.

I have managed to find some strength to fight for myself and for my nearest and drearest. The operation as well as the post-operative treatment is extremely costly. I must undergo this treatment to prevent the quick development of this terrible disease. The surgery together with the treatment will cost 40 000 zl.

That is the reason why I am asking you to help me collect the abovementioned sum of money. I know that the disease I suffer from will last forever but thanks to the operation I will be able to live without pain and suffering. I would love to be able to relieve all the pains in my body. I do not want to fear any more.   

Due to coronavirus people are limited somehow these days. Unfortunately, we – the ill – are still dealing with all the diseases which are becoming more and more powerful each day. I believe that miracles happen and I am sure there are lots of good-hearted people who are not indifferent to others’ suffering. I have promised myself that I will not give up as this time I have a real opportunity to win the battle against my endometriosis. I just need to fight….

I desire to live, make my dreams come true, really enjoy each day… and I know that this fundraiser is my only chance to be able to live and get a lot of joy out of my life.

Therefore, I thank you wholeheartedly in advance. When you do good things, good things happen….
