The patient “Khaled” (27 years old - Indian) is unable to provide 117,000 dirhams for the cost of his chemotherapy treatment for leukemia, which he has suffered since 2019, and which threatens his life, and he appeals to good people to help him find the amount.

The medical reports issued by a private hospital in Dubai, and a copy of which was seen by Emirates Today, confirmed that “the patient had leukemia and underwent chemotherapy for a year, and the results of recent examinations showed that he did not respond to treatment, and he needs intensive chemotherapy and special medicines as soon as possible to save His life is in danger ».

Khaled narrated the story of his suffering with the disease to "Emirates Today", saying: "A year ago, I felt very tired, high in temperature, and unable to go to work, and my friend took me in the residence to the hospital."

He added, "We arrived at the emergency department, and the doctor told me that it was necessary to conduct tests and analyzes, and put me under medical observation with taking some antibiotics and painkillers, and my health condition improved a little."

He continued: "The tests showed that there is an imbalance in the white blood cells, and there is a suspicion that it is leukemia, and I was asked to repeat the tests to check on my health."

He explained, "The results of the tests confirmed that I had leukemia, and the doctor told me the need to quickly start chemotherapy to control cancer, and I started treatment a year ago."

He added, "I committed myself to taking my chemotherapy, and I endured all the pain and suffering with cancer, and I was living with the hope that I would get rid of cancer forever, but unfortunately, my body did not accept chemotherapy and needed treatment for another year."

He continued: "My chemotherapy treatment with drugs costs 117 thousand dirhams for a year, and I am afraid that I will lose my life and be in danger because my financial condition is very weak."

And the patient stated that he is the only provider for his family that lives in India, and it consists of seven members, and bears the expenses of their daily lives, with the payment of rent and tuition fees, and his salary is 1100 dirhams, and hardly meets their requirements.

The patient explained that "the disease kills his body, which makes his family in permanent grief, and appeals to the people of good and those with merciful hearts to help him save the costs of chemotherapy and save his life from the disease that turned his life into hell."

blood cancer

It is a type of cancer that forms in the tissues responsible for producing blood cells, which include the bone marrow and the lymphatic system.

This type of cancer begins to form in white blood cells, where white blood cells have the ability to fight off infections and various infections.

These cells generally grow in a very healthy way, and they divide according to the needs of the body, but in the case of leukemia, the bone marrow in the body produces a very large amount of abnormal white blood cells, which cannot function as they should.
