Yesterday we did the first procedure:
total plasma exchange + albumin + donor stem cells + exosomes — all in one go!
Everything went well.
Right now I’m feeling very weak, super sleepy, and quite swollen (face + body), but so far no other complaints and I truly hope it stays that way 🤞🏻
Now it’s time to wait, observe, and quietly pray for positive changes over the coming weeks 🙈
Yesterday’s treatment cost 5600$ 💵
Also ones again I want to thank from the bottom of my heart to every single person who helped make this happen 🙏🏻🥹🫂✨♥️
Your support, care, and trust mean more to me than I can ever properly express 🤍
A small clarification, just in case:
because of Polish bank limits (and the amount being quite large), the payment had to be split into three parts using different cards, so there are multiple receipts — nothing mysterious there 😅
I also want to say a huge thank you to Dr. Jakub
for such rare humanity in a doctor, and for being so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring.
Even though Mark wasn’t allowed into the operating block to be with me, I didn’t feel scared or uncomfortable for a single second.
I even had to use a bedpan again 🙈🤣
Something I truly never imagined I’d ever have to repeat after cardiac tamponade 😅
Thank you for being here with me, for holding me through this, even from afar 🫂✨
