I knew it is cancer!

All my life I was scared of cancer and so I made it sure not to miss "anti oxidant " pills. In May 2010, while shaving my underarm I noticed
that my right arm pit was getting unusually "fatty".

When I palpated it I felt a lump which I instantly knew was a lymph node.
I don`t know how or what made me get the feelings that it was a lymphoma,perhaps my medical knowledge or perhaps my working for five years in a surgical department had trained my fingers to feel it correctly.

So despite all false reassurances from my friends and colleagues I have been diagnosed with NHL and I am registered with Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Lahore for treatment.

It is my life time experience and it is impossible to express everything in this small post. But I just want to say that 

" NHL was a clear-cut death sentence for me if  Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Lahore had not offered me treatment support free of cost because I simply could not afford this expensive treatment "
And so I request everybody to please donate to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Lahore , Pakistan because every single penny that you donate is spent on the treatment of patients like me .
