She beat cancer and divorced her husband. She said she had enough “sadness, suffering, loneliness” in her life.

Hanna Dunowska made her debut in 1980 in the film “Tender Places”. She also had roles in such productions as “07 zgpowiedz się”, “In the labyrinth”, “Psy”, “Spellbinder”, “For better and for worse”, “Same Life” and “The Colors of Happiness”. Viewers also know her from the program “Czar par”, which she co-hosted with Krzysztof Ibisz. Her life was full of sadness, difficult moments and, as she admitted, loneliness. She married twice. She met her first husband while still studying acting. The other one, sound operator Paweł Łuszczyc-Wyhowski, was united by their passion for cinema, but their happiness did not last long.

Problems in marriage and professional life are not everything. That’s when she heard the diagnosis

At some point, however, black clouds hung over. The relationship between the couple began to deteriorate. Hanna Dunowska also had problems with getting the role. There were no acting offers, but further misunderstandings grew. Her husband resented her and she felt unfulfilled as a wife and as an actress. – I started to doubt my skills, my possibilities. I thought: if I was a good actress, they would want me. If I were a good wife, he would love me, she said in an interview with the portal

At that time, Hanna Dunowska went for check-ups. There was nothing wrong with her, but she still decided to get checked out. Doctors diagnosed her with breast cancer. This turned out to be a turning point and motivated her not only to fight for her health, but also for her personal life and happiness. – There was an awful lot of sadness, suffering and loneliness in my life. I decided to change it because I didn’t want to live like that anymore, she admitted. – I promised myself that I would beat this cancer. That was my goal, she added.
