Male
child is considered a pillar of the family in our part of the world. The parents
raise their sons proudly thinking they will be responsible for the family when
they grow up. They train them as responsible family member usually. But
sometimes trials don’t let them to.
Asadullah
is fourteen years old and Masha Allah good and strong looking child. By the
grace of Allah, he does not look like a cancer patient. But still, he is
suffering for two years and the parents are taking him along in different
hospitals for his investigations.
Asadullah
is a case of suspected Hodgkin’s disease. Two years ago in mid 2020, he had
swollen lymph nodes in his neck and other part of the body. His parents took
him to a physician for consultation. Investigational tests were initiated to
rule out and treat his disease.
Initially
his tests were negative, and he was looking fine with respect to the
investigation reports. At that time, he was suspected of having Ewing’s Sarcoma
and his final diagnosis could not be established as his lab findings were normal,
but his presenting complains were there.
So Asadullah was discharged and was called for repeated follow ups to
confirm his clinical conditions.
He
was doing fine at home, busy in his beautiful teen life when suddenly he
developed swollen lymph nodes in other parts of the body with fever. Her mother
was alarmed, she took his dear son and again approached the hospital.
Once again, Asadullah’s tests have been initiated and
he is under observation. The innocent kid looks at every doctor with a hope
that someone will give him the news that everything is fine with him, and he
will be able to continue his normal happy life.
But still nothing has been ruled out, still his
bone marrow biopsy is awaited, and he and his mother are waiting every second
to hear the good news of all clear. His mother is fearful this time, she says
her son’s disease is aggressive now.
She is mentally prepared to initiate chemotherapy treatment
but praying that no such news of disease is given
to them. Asadullah does not speak much, he just keeps looking at everyone with
empty eyes. He is not able to figure out about his condition and future. He is
more interested in his studies, his friends, and his activities at home.
Asadullah
belongs to a middle-class family, his father works in some factory in Gujranwala,
and he has two siblings, Asadullah is the middle one. All siblings are school
students, but Asadulah’s education is halted due to his disease.
Asadullah
wants to be an engineer and anxiously waiting for the result of his lab
investigations that can declare him fit, so that he may be able to go home
happily and continue his life.
A
lot of prayers for some miracle for the health and recovery of Asadullah and
his safe and successful future life and ease of his family.
Prayers
for the complete health and recovery of all other warriors who are suffering with
their families. May Allah ease and cure all patients and cancer warriors.
