An update from Justyna.
June 25, 2025
A few weeks ago, I stood in front of a mirror and saw my bald head for the first time, one of the visible markers of this battle I’m in. It was emotional, raw, and deeply humbling; as you can see in the video above. But today, as I’ve gotten used to my bald head, I’m reminded of how resilient I can be if I choose to. How quickly I can adapt, even in the face of unimaginable challenges.
In the background of the video I’m sharing, you’ll hear a recent update from my care team at Mayo Clinic. The good news: my cancer hasn’t spread. The hard news: the surgery is impossible for now.
Our hope is that further treatment will allow for what will still be a massive, complex operation involving the removal of multiple organs.
As I continue this fight, I’m reaching out for your support. Your donations help me stay afloat through treatment and keep the heart of our team’s work alive - feeding our community with intention, love, and locally grown food.
If you can give, I would be so grateful. If you can’t, your prayers and kind thoughts mean just as much.
Thank you all,
Justyna
