Alexandra is 33 years old. Two years ago, she faced a challenging diagnosis \u2014 cervical cancer. Since then, around $100,000 has been spent on treatment and rehabilitation in Poland. Now the woman is in remission, but new difficulties have arisen in her life; Alexandra has been forced to start a fundraising campaign to cope with the challenges, writes<\/a> MOST.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra has been living in Gda\u0144sk with her family since 2021. Two and a half years after moving, during a routine gynecological examination, the Belarusian woman was diagnosed with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix stage 2b. At that time, all of the family’s savings were spent on fighting the disease, as well as funds provided by relatives, friends, and caring individuals \u2014 a total of nearly 90,000 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiosn\u0105 2024 roku u Aleksandry odkryto przerzuty \u2014 i musia\u0142a ponownie przej\u015b\u0107 leczenie. Do jesieni pozosta\u0142 ostatni krok \u2014 przeprowadzenie terapii adjuwantowej, aby zapobiec prawdopodobie\u0144stwu dalszych przerzut\u00f3w i nawrotu. Terapia sk\u0142ada\u0142a si\u0119 z czterech infuzji jedynego odpowiedniego leku, Vegzelma. W tym czasie Bia\u0142orusini zebrali kolejne 40 000 z\u0142otych na terapi\u0119.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra’s treatment has helped. She is currently in remission. The Belarusian undergoes examinations as part of her state insurance every six months \u2014 she has tests, sees a gynecologist, and undergoes PET\/CT \u2014 positron emission tomography, which allows for the assessment of recurrence risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

«They worked together, ate together, and shopped for groceries together. And we with the kids \u2014 in the next room.»<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Aleksandra faced new life challenges \u2014 a breakdown in her relationship with her husband. According to the Belarusian woman, the man was unhappy with the high expenses for expensive treatment and even suggested postponing the purchase of medications «until better times.» When she finally started the treatment, it seemed to her that her husband remained indifferent. After the procedures and infusions, she took care of the children on her own, including when her husband was looking for a new job and spent about a month at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napi\u0119cie mi\u0119dzy ma\u0142\u017conkami stopniowo narasta\u0142o. Ostatecznie Aleksandra podj\u0119\u0142a decyzj\u0119 o rozwodzie i poprosi\u0142a m\u0119\u017ca o wyprowadzk\u0119. Nie sprzeciwi\u0142 si\u0119, ale nie spieszy\u0142 si\u0119 z przeprowadzk\u0105. Wkr\u00f3tce potem zaprosi\u0142 przyjaciela, aby ten m\u00f3g\u0142 u niego mieszka\u0107, podczas gdy szuka\u0142 nowego mieszkania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relationships with acquaintances have added stress to Aleksandra<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nie przywita\u0142 mnie, nie rozmawia\u0142 ze mn\u0105. Mia\u0142am wra\u017cenie, \u017ce maj\u0105 swoj\u0105 rodzin\u0119 \u2014 rozwi\u0105zywali jakie\u015b sprawy, pracowali razem, jedli razem, robili zakupy razem. A my z dzie\u0107mi byli\u015bmy w s\u0105siednim pokoju \u2014 jak dodatek do przestrzeni, \u2014 opisuje swoje uczucia Bia\u0142orusinka. \u2014 My\u015bla\u0142am, \u017ce b\u0119dzie z nami mieszka\u0142 przez miesi\u0105c, a potem si\u0119 wyprowadzi. Ostatecznie mieszka\u0142 z nami przez rok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The uninvited neighbor, although not the cause of the problems, in Alexandra's opinion, exacerbated the conflict between the spouses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Dzieci posz\u0142y do przedszkola, a gdy wr\u00f3ci\u0142y, jego rzeczy ju\u017c znikn\u0119\u0142y"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the end, Aleksandra got her way \u2014 the men started preparing for the move<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding this, she tried to negotiate with her husband about the further support of the children and wanted to formalize the agreements with a notary. Her husband agreed, but the plans fell through due to the notary’s refusal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man passed away on Alexandra’s birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 To by\u0142 wspania\u0142y prezent, \u2014 \u017cartuje. \u2014 Opuszcza\u0142 mieszkanie \u2014 i zablokowa\u0142 mnie we wszystkich mo\u017cliwych komunikatorach. Nie po\u017cegna\u0142 si\u0119 z dzie\u0107mi. Posz\u0142y do przedszkola, a kiedy wr\u00f3ci\u0142y wieczorem, jego rzeczy ju\u017c znikn\u0119\u0142y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

«I counted and divided by two»<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zak\u0142adaj\u0105c taki scenariusz, Aleksandra podj\u0119\u0142a \u015brodki ostro\u017cno\u015bci. Miesi\u0105c wcze\u015bniej, podczas p\u0142atnej konsultacji, prawnik wyja\u015bni\u0142 kobiecie, \u017ce w Polsce mo\u017cliwe jest wniesienie pozwu o alimenty lub utrzymanie rodziny, nawet b\u0119d\u0105c w zwi\u0105zku ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144skim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 [Prawnik] namawia\u0142 mnie do z\u0142o\u017cenia pozwu o alimenty, \u2014 m\u00f3wi rozm\u00f3wca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jednak zatrzyma\u0142a si\u0119 przy pozwie o alimenty, aby "unika\u0107 niezadowolenia m\u0119\u017ca." Pozew sporz\u0105dzi\u0142a sama, w kt\u00f3rym opisa\u0142a swoj\u0105 histori\u0119, do\u0142\u0105czy\u0142a za\u015bwiadczenie z urz\u0119du pracy, dokumentacj\u0119 medyczn\u0105 oraz rachunki na utrzymanie dzieci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 I calculated everything and divided it by two, meaning the claim did not state that he should provide for the children 100%. It is honestly split 50-50, \u2014 says the Belarusian woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court hearing has not yet taken place. However, the court has already ordered Alexandra’s husband to support the children during the pre-trial period \u2014 this is standard practice in Poland. According to the ruling, the man must pay 3,000 zlotys per month. But, according to Alexandra, she has received only 595 zlotys over the past three months. She has contacted a court bailiff to recover the debt from her husband, but has not yet received a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spouses have not lived together for a year. Recently, the man demanded in personal correspondence that Aleksandra share custody of the children 50-50. The woman categorically disagrees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"\u017byli\u015bmy z dzie\u0107mi przez ca\u0142y rok na skraju ub\u00f3stwa"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of 2026, the owner of the apartment where Aleksandra lived with her children asked her to move out. The Belarusian admits that after separating from her husband, she struggled to pay the rent on time. The landlord was understanding for a long time but was dissatisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nasza umowa rzeczywi\u015bcie m\u00f3wi, \u017ce mo\u017ce nas eksmitowa\u0107 w ci\u0105gu trzech dni, je\u015bli [czynsz] nie zostanie zap\u0142acony na czas, \u2014 m\u00f3wi Bia\u0142orusinka. \u2014 Nigdy nas tym nie straszy\u0142a, jest ca\u0142kiem dobr\u0105 kobiet\u0105. Ale mo\u017cna j\u0105 te\u017c zrozumie\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra nie by\u0142a w stanie wyprowadzi\u0107 si\u0119 w ustalonym terminie, poniewa\u017c potrzebna by\u0142a du\u017ca suma pieni\u0119dzy: na uregulowanie p\u0142atno\u015bci za poprzednie mieszkanie, transport jej rzeczy, a tak\u017ce na op\u0142at\u0119 czynszu i kaucji za nowe mieszkanie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 I had no way to gather such an amount because all year we lived on the brink of poverty with my children, \u2014 says the Belarusian woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She managed to move after all \u2014 thanks to the help of people who responded to her request on Facebook. However, Aleksandra still has a debt for her previous apartment. The landlord issued a bill for 4400 z\u0142 for painting the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

«There was no opportunity to pay 300 zlotys for the visit»<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Against the backdrop of all the events, Alexandra’s health and mental state have significantly deteriorated: she has lost her appetite and developed insomnia. The Belarusian sought help from a doctor under her free health insurance \u2014 she was prescribed medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, according to Aleksandra, the medication did not suit her. Finding the right medicine and dosage is a matter of time, but due to long queues for free specialists, the treatment process is significantly delayed. She was only able to get a new appointment after 2.5 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ideally, I could have gone to the doctor in a month to adjust the treatment. But I couldn’t afford to pay 300 zlotys for the visit, \u2014 says the Belarusian woman. That’s why she asked for help<\/a> through BySol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

«There was no time to catch a breath»<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The woman notes that, since the children are still small \u2014 the youngest daughter is only four years old \u2014 their upbringing falls entirely on her, and this does not allow for a break<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Aleksandra is registered with the labor office as unemployed. She does not receive any benefits; however, the administration (urz\u0105d) partially financed the nostrification of her Belarusian diploma. Now the Belarusian is waiting for the conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Aleksandra has already received a job offer, but she and the potential employer agreed that they need to wait for the residence card, the issuance of which is taking a bit longer. Due to the lack of this document, she was unable to apply for child benefits for the new period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Nie by\u0142o czasu na odpoczynek, na poczucie, \u017ce si\u0119 wyleczy\u0142em \u2014 "Hurra!" Z jednego problemu p\u0142ynnie przeszed\u0142em do drugiego. Mam wra\u017cenie, \u017ce problemy zacz\u0119\u0142y si\u0119 3,5-4 lata temu \u2014 i nie sko\u0144czy\u0142y si\u0119, \u2014 m\u00f3wi Bia\u0142orusin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
