The start of a new journey

I am a doctor training to be a general practionner. I am a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt and a friend.

Today i was told i have Hodgkins Lymphoma, a form of blood cancer.. My life will never be the same again..

I decided to start this blog the day i was diagnosed, with the aim of taking you on my journey step by step.. No sugar coating.. A real life story of someone fighting cancer..

This is my story and my journey…

  2. I am living w/myelofibrosis-blood cancer and have been developing it to over 20yrs. I was diagnosed Feb. 2014.

    I’m so sorry. I was thinking of writing about my journey as well. I may just do that now that I’ve read yours.

    I’m wishing you the very best.

  6. Alsalamu Alaikum cousin,

    Firstly, I will say that It certainly has been a long time since we’ve had a chat, and, for that I must apologise.

    Secondly, I want to sincerely thank you for giving me (and everyone else) the opportunity to somehow feel as if I’m walking through this difficult journey along side you all the way from here (Sydney, Australia).

    Thirdly, I want you to know that me, my sisters and their kids and even my little brother are all praying for you to get well soon inshallah, and, we will try our best to uphold our worried aunt’s promise (your mum), as she has asked the family to give you some space (which I totally agree with), even though it’s very difficult for me to do as I would like to pick up the phone so much just to hear your voice and to know that your A-ok 😊

    On a final note, I would like to reassure you that ONLY the bravest, kindest and most noble people are the ones who get diagnosed with such an experience, BELIVE ME I know …Remember my mum (your dad’s youngest sister) 😇

    Please don’t ever hesitate to contact me if you need anything or if you feel that there is something that I can do to help and know that ALLAH (sw) has a reason for everything that happens in life !!!

    Like Dory (from Nemo) says…. “JUST KEEP SWIMIMG” 🐳🐋🐬🐟

    Faithfully Yours,
