Fakhra Underwent Life-Saving Mastectomy

Fakhra Aurang zaib's Story

At the age of 42, Fakhra, a resident of Lahore, found herself thrust into a challenging health condition. It all began with an unusual change in her breast size that immediately sparked concern for her well-being. Filled with concern, she wasted no time in seeking medical advice, hoping for a glimmer of reassurance but bracing herself for the worst. Unfortunately, her fears were confirmed when she received the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer—a verdict that shook her to her very core.

However, during her turmoil, a big obstacle loomed over her path to recovery—financial constraints. The cost of the life-saving surgery she desperately needed, a left modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with axillary clearance, seemed impossible.

Yet, a beacon of hope emerged when Fakhra reached out to Transparent Hands. With their assistance, she was admitted to Lahore Care Hospital, where she would undergo the crucial surgery. Dr. Ahmed Fawad, a skilled and compassionate surgeon, took charge of Fakhra’s case, instilling in her a renewed sense of confidence and optimism.

On March 13, 2024, the day of the surgery, Fakhra’s journey towards healing reached a pivotal moment. Dr. Ahmed Fawad skillfully performed the left modified radical mastectomy with axillary clearance, guiding her one step closer to a brighter future. The procedure was a success, and after three days of attentive post-operative care, Fakhra was discharged from the hospital, her condition deemed satisfactory.

She expressed deep appreciation for the unwavering support and selflessness of the donors who made her recovery possible. Their generosity had not only granted her access to life-saving treatment but had also bestowed upon her a renewed lease on life—a chance to embrace her survivorship and cherish each precious moment. With a newfound strength and gratitude, Fakhra embarks on the next chapter of her life—a chapter filled with hope, resilience, and the unwavering determination to savor every precious moment.
