Alla is 54 years old, a professional musician; a violinist/performer and tutor.
In 2001, she had her first battle with breast cancer. Two major surgeries, followed by full chemotherapy and radio treatment and several years of hormone treatment.
Ten months later her cancer returned.
It was a horrible experience, an eight hour surgery followed by a very painful recovery. This time it took her longer to recover, but she still managed to bounce back to full capacity once again.
Sadly, eleven years later, her cancer has now returned, for the third time. This time it is really testing her strength. She is determined to beat it yet again. But this time it is very different.
"I am no longer as young and strong as I used to be. Conventional treatments have left me scarred and I believe I had to undergo a lot of unnecessary suffering. My current personal circumstances are very different too."
Her husband Staszek, had his first heart attack five years ago after he lost his job. He never fully recovered while her eleven year old son Adrian has many needs too, as he suffers from very severe Tourettes Syndrome. Her husband and All herself can no longer provide the care and attention he requires.
"My oncologist says they cannot help me anymore, quoting his own words; “We can only slow down the process”. To me and my family, that is not good enough. I am determined to fight it with a holistic approach; good nutrition, rest and peace of mind.
I appeal to you all to help me with your generosity, until I am well enough to get back to my career and support my family as I once used to. God bless you all!"
