Doctor Hisham Selim tells the details of his journey with the disease

The doctor treating the late Egyptian artist, Hisham Selim, revealed the details of his journey with the disease, which resulted in his death, today, Thursday, at the age of 64.

Yasser Abdel Qader said, in statements to "Sky News Arabia", that Hisham Selim was suffering from lung cancer, after it was discovered in an advanced stage and not in the early stages with which treatment and recovery are easy.

He pointed out that the late artist was treated in a private hospital in Cairo for a whole year, during which he received a different number of treatments, whether "chemical, radiological or immunological", but they did not achieve the desired benefit, as his condition worsened in his last days.

Abdel Qader added: "Hisham Selim was resigned to the disease in his last days, because he realized the nature of his health condition, which the medical team had previously explained to him, especially since he was in the late third stage of the disease, and after we tried many times to control and treat the disease."

The treating doctor, Hisham Selim, considered that the artist "was classy throughout his treatment, and he treated the medical staff with great affection."
