Former first lady Begum Kulsoom Nawaz’s Lymphoma cancer treatment is yet to start as the doctors still wait for some essential scans and results, a private TV channel reported.
According to a source, the chemotherapy treatment will start later this week or the following week, depending on the doctors’ approval, who are waiting for a “few more tests and scans during this week.” Kulsoom is in good spirits and being regularly checked by a team of doctors. She said that she was looking forward for the treatment, the channel reported.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is likely to visit London soon. A party leader has said that Nawaz Sharif’s plan is yet to be finalised and will be made public soon. In his forthcoming visit, the former prime minister is expected to stay in London for around 10 days.
The Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) will arrange a public rally in West London where Nawaz Sharif will speak to his supporters from across the United Kingdom. The doctors have said that Kulsoom’s ailment is curable and the treatment shouldn’t be too complicated.
Last week, Maryam Nawaz disclosed that her mother Kulsoom was diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes on the left side of her neck. At the same time, cancer counselors met Begum Nawaz to brief her about the nature of her illness, its treatment plan, and what it will involve.
Begum Kulsoom left for London unexpectedly on August 17 for a medical checkup. She is PML-N’s candidate for NA-120. Her daughter Maryam is running her campaign.
