Andrzej Bieniasz, the leader of the Pudelsi group, lost the fight with it over a year ago. The diagnosis “knocks you off your feet”, says Shazza, and Agata Buzek admits that “if she gave up, she would not have succeeded”.

Agata Buzek was diagnosed with the disease in childhood
Cancer can appear at any time in everyone’s life. In actress Agata Buzek, Hodgkin’s disease, which is one of the types of lymphoma, was diagnosed in 1985, when she was nine years old. She fought the disease for three years. She left for Germany, where she underwent chemotherapy. She was also subjected to surgical treatment. In March 2016, in an interview with the Beauty of Life, she summed up this time:
Young people feel immortal – time does not end, strength does not end, nights do not end, parties do not end. I have never had such a moment. I have always known that I am mortal and that my forces are numbered
