Pain beyond tolerance

Cancer was never the end.

Death is a right for everyone, as for fighting disease is hope, and its resistance is a miracle, achieved by the hero Ahmed Adel, who was attacked by cancer while he was still a student in the third year of middle school, and he spent two years of chemotherapy and radiotherapy to treat what afflicted the lymph nodes from the sudden attack of cancer cells.

They were two years of pain beyond the tolerance of a child who had not yet turned 15 but had not given up.

Despite his suffering, he passed the third school year in pre-secondary school, but he was unable to achieve grades that would qualify him for high school.

His dream was to graduate from the College of Education / Department of Arabic Language. Cancer missed the first dream, but he overcame the matter with a new dream, as he joined after the technical school an institute that qualifies for the College of Engineering.

His result was an "excellence" over two years, and he deserved to become Engineer Mohamed Adel, after joining the Engineering College class for the year 2020-2021.

A smile of faith

As for Iman, she was 9 years old when she was first admitted to hospital suffering from leukemia, and her journey continues despite her 16th birthday.

She always goes to the hospital for treatment, and sometimes for a drawing.

On the outskirts of the hospital, Iman found her own passion in the painting and coloring workshop for children of cancer, so her brushes and papers were forgotten during the months of isolation inside the four walls of the glass room.

It was not only the pain of cancer that affected the soul of the little girl, but the depression that was able to her was another ghost that she had to face, but this time she was not alone, so the hospital provided her with papers, brushes and colors, and her paintings were shown in special exhibitions, and the smile of a golden heroine who wished one day returned To volunteer with the hospital team after being given a complete cure from cancer.

Rahma, 17, wrote, using the tag "Heroes of Gold", recounting her experience with the disease that made her lose her sense of hearing, and she had to put headphones behind her ears to hear the world humming and the muttering of people, compassion for the 4-year-old girl who was born with weak hearing, so chemotherapy increased the matter Worse.

A dream of mercy

Rahma can now laugh as she narrates her experience, despite the periodic treatment she continues to receive at the Children's Cancer Hospital, but at least she has managed to say goodbye to the depression that has plagued her for years.

A child does not hear and is afraid to speak and does not hear anyone responding to her, then overnight she loses her long, shiny hair and becomes emaciated, but thanks to a mother who believed in her daughter’s life and did not deliver her child to a disease that took her from her arms, Rahma survived, and she wore a new stethoscope, although she is small in size and does not You see, except that she deliberately took pictures with her, nothing became offensive to her, and soon she overcame cancer and high school as well.

Rahma's dream was to become a flight attendant so that she could visit the countries of the world.

This dream that haunted her since she was 9 years old, before cancer attacked her, but she still clings to her simple dream, despite her knowledge that she had leukemia, the news that came like a thunderbolt to her parents.

Rahma remembers that her father prayed two rak'ahs to God and then embraced her in tears. As for her mother, the sound of her screaming inside her closed room reached the boy’s ear and she did not understand what was going on. Then when she entered the hospital for the first time, she knew everything, except that her treating doctor called her “Basbousa”. Without knowing how much she loved her, the little girl smiled and was encouraged, and her courage was still able to treat her more than medicine and medicine treatments.
