Warriors and Survivors -90


Children Cancer Stories by Rukh Yusuf - Blog # 90

I am Rukh Yusuf, Clinical Pharmacist, also specialized in Total Parenteral Nutrition and Bone Marrow Transplant. I have been working in Pediatric Oncology unit of a public hospital for several years. The mission of this blog is to bring to you the real-life stories of child patients suffering from cancer. Cancer is still a difficult disease to handle and treat. However, when it strikes the children, some so young that they cannot even speak, their agony is beyond expression and words. Let us pray especially for children suffering from cancer for early and complete remission. May Allah shower His Merciful Blessings upon them. Aameen.



She was having meal when she felt nausea and vomitted out. After some time, she had swollen abdomen with severe abdominal pain.

Her parents took her to hospital in Khan pur. They gave her pain injections and performed CT scan. Doctors advised she is having tumors in her abdomen.

She was referred to Children’s hospital Pediatric Oncology department. She was diagnosed as Wilms tumor after some diagnostic tests.

Samia is only four years old girl, and she is the only child of her parents. Her parent’s life revolves around her. Her father works in a factory and the family is resident of Rahim Yar Khan.

Samia’s Tumor is increasing in size and her blood pressure is still on higher side despite two antihypertensives she is receiving. Little angel is not doing well even after one chemo cycle.

Poor father has left his livelihood for the treatment of his only daughter. Life is hard. Hardships do not matter much as long as our loved ones are healthy and safe.

But Samia is not healthy, and one cannot guarantee her health in future life. But the good thing is she is fighting and her parents are fighting against cancer. Warriors always fight no matter they win or not. May she win her battle against cancer.

We only can pray for the health and recovery of Samia and her future life. Aameen

May Samia’s disease is cured fully. May she recover soon. May her parents see their daughter's smile again. Let’s pray for all the Warriors and Survivors and their health and happiness and the ease of their families. Aameen
