Hello everyone, my name is Ewa, I’m from Poland. My mom was diagnosed with CERVICAL CANCER stage 3B G2 back in June (SQUAMUS CELL CARCINOMA G2; Carcinoma planoepitheliale G2, invasio carcinomatosa vasorum). Since then she had only FIVE RADIATIONS (20 Gy in total) and that’s all - NO PLANS FOR CHEMO OR SURGERY. She may receive a few more radiations next year only if she’s still alive til that time and there’s an extensive bleeding. Otherwise no.
Her health problems began in February, since then she had JJ tubes put in both ureters which later were replaced with nephrostomy tubes in both kidneys. She had a massive Enterococcus faecium infection treated with Vancomycin. Lately she had another massive infection when docs put a nephrostomy tube in her left kidney. It was treated with Linezolid.
SHE DOESN’T EAT ANYMORE, SHE CAN’T GET UP, SHE CAN’T TAKE A SHOWER, SHE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ANYMORE.
Her oncologist didn’t give her a referral to a hospice nor a palliative care specialist. I had to beg my mom’s GP to receive them. We were left alone. We don’t have any family, there’s only she and I. I’m disabled person with several chronic conditions. I have to have a knee surgery but I can’t go to a hospital right now, I have to be with my mom all the time and take care of her.
I’M BEGGING FOR HELP TO BUY A WHEELCHAIR, ANTI PRESSURE ULCERS MATTRESS, NUTRICIA DRINKS, URINE COLLECTION BAGS, ANTIBIOTICS AND PROBIOTICS IF NEEDED, SUPPLEMENTS LIKE POTASSIUM, CRP HOME TESTS AND CBD OIL.
I can’t afford all that due to a very small income.
Please, I’m begging you, help me and my mom. I can provide all medical documents if requested but I have them only in Polish.
It’s only a brief description of what has been happening in the last few months. If you’re interested I can tell whole story from the beginning.
I’m absolutely devastated for my good friend Eve and her Mother. Women in Poland face struggles every day and the health system does not provide for people like it should. Not all people have a comfortable life with good health care systems and support with pain management. Eve has her own health struggles to contend with also.
Eve has been with the community for years now and her Failure Family has been a great source of laughs for me, and many of you I know. Never one to cause drama, a kind, intelligent and caring person, one we need more of! Eve has been through a lot over the past couple of years, help her out if you can, please.
Every girl deserves to be with her Mum as long as possible.
due to this event, it’s more important than ever to support water protectors and pipeline activsts. here is the official website for the unis’tot’en camp so you can educate yourself on the issue. also please donate if you can.
it’s more important than ever to help support indigenous water protectors and anti-pipeline activists. please do what you can - anything helps.
so someone just said they’re “really interested in history” how careful do you have to be?
“i just think history is interesting in general! i’m not interested in any specific part of it”: this person is most likely safe. never drop your guard though
“i’m interested in this specific subject or time period in history. (ex. ancient egypt, the golden age of piracy, the history of the printing press”: still probably safe. be on the lookout for certain risky historical subjects. you should know them you see them
“i’m really into WW2 history”: this is the caution zone, there’s plenty of valid reasons to be into WW2, but if they start talking about how Operation Sealion totally could have succeeded, it’s time to abort
“i’m specifically into roman history, the crusades, prussian military history, and WW2”: danger! do NOT talk about history with this person. in fact, do not talk to this person at all. you will regret it, you do not want to know what they think of the treaty of versailles or why germany lost the first world war
this post has inspired three different responses
1) people who lack any reading comprehension skills whatsoever and seem to think i’m saying “being into history makes you bad”
2) history students/historians saying some variation of “tbh this is true”
3) the kind of people my last point was specifying calling me slurs
