Give for Raqeeba’s Cancer Treatment
Raqeeba Bibi's Story
Raqeeba is a 57-year-old woman from Gujranwala, who is continuously fighting against breast cancer, which has spanned two challenging years. It all began when Raqeeba learned about a lump in her right breast, prompting her to seek medical attention from a specialized doctor. Following a thorough evaluation, Raqeeba received the devastating news—stage 2 breast cancer—demanding immediate intervention to stem its progression.
With resolve in her heart, Raqeeba underwent a successful biopsy in August 2022, and then MRM (Modified Radical Mastectomy) surgery was performed before chemotherapy. After her successful surgery, her oncologist prescribed a rigorous course of chemotherapy to combat the lingering cancer cells within her body.
Furthermore, due to being HER2 positive, Raqeeba’s treatment plan included a series of 17 herceptin injections, specifically targeting and neutralising the HER2 protein, a vital step in her fight against breast cancer. Having already received 10 of these injections, Raqeeba now faces the challenge of completing her prescribed course of treatment to ensure the best possible outcome. Despite her unwavering determination, Raqeeba confronts a significant hurdle: the burden of medical expenses that threatens to impede her progress.
With tears in her eyes, she shares her heartfelt plea: “My utmost desire is to regain my health and continue my fight against breast cancer. However, the burden of medical expenses has become overwhelming, and I cannot bear it alone.”
In her hour of need, Raqeeba turned to Transparent Hands, seeking support to overcome the financial barriers that stand between her and complete healing. Every contribution, no matter the size, holds the power to make a meaningful impact in Raqeeba’s life, empowering her to pursue a future free from the burdens of cancer and financial strain.

Raqeeba Bibi's Story
Raqeeba, a 59-year-old woman from Gujranwala, had been battling breast cancer for two years. She had a painful lump in her right breast which prompted her to seek medical attention. After a biopsy in August 2022, she heard the devastating news of stage 2 breast cancer. With courage in her heart, she underwent MRM (Modified Radical Mastectomy).
The oncologist reviewed her final reports and recommended chemotherapy. Additionally, due to being HER2 positive, her treatment course included 17 Herceptin injections to neutralize the HER2 protein - a crucial step in combating breast cancer. She received chemotherapy and ten Herceptin injections on her own and needed seven more injections.
Raqeeba’s painful condition was hindering her ability to perform daily life chores and take care of her children. A big obstacle was in her way toward recovery - her financial constraints. To undergo the surgery with her family’s meager monthly income was extremely challenging.
In this moment of uncertainty, she reached out to Transparent Hands, seeking support to undergo the treatment. We promptly registered her case. From January 19, 2024 to May 9, 2024, she successfully received Herceptin Injections at Inmol Cancer Hospital Lahore. Dr. Sana monitored her case and ensured her successful recovery.
Raqeeba has returned to her normal way of living with renewed hope and confidence. She expressed her emotions as follows:
“The successful recovery from breast cancer was nothing short of a miracle. I am grateful to Transparent Hands and all the donors who supported me in defeating cancer.”
Transparent Hands enabled Raqeeba to face her chronic illness with profound strength and resilience. We express our heartfelt gratitude to all compassionate donors who made her recovery possible. Raqeeba’s life has been filled with courage and enthusiasm and her health has improved to a great extent.
