Today is world cancer day and my eyes are filled with tears as I remember the day my one and only child Hadeed was diagnosed with a type of kidney cancer. It was the worst day of our lives. Living in Renala Khurd, a small town in Okara it was very difficult for us to come to Lahore for treatment as we also did not have any means.
Then someone told us of Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital and we came to Lahore winding up our small business in Renala Khurd and took a job in Lahore.
I can only thank Allah and after that Shaukat Khanum hospital. Due to its help, both financial and medial, my son Hadeed finally was able to beat cancer. It is a great hospital and may Allah provide Imran Khan with more strength to help the poor and the needy who cannot afford the expensive cancer treatment.
Today Hadeed studies in Class I and is hale and hearty and wants to become a doctor just like the doctors who treated him with so much love and affection.
