Gihan, Egypt

My journey is a testament to the power of support of loved ones in facing adversity. I am a single mother who has been solely responsible for the financial and emotional well-being of my children for the past ten years following my divorce. My ex-husband abandoned us and has provided no financial support. The emotional trauma of the separation significantly impacted my son's mental health, necessitating expensive treatment that I could only afford through a personal loan due to limited income derived solely from my father's pension.

My health concerns arose with the discovery of a non-painful breast lump. A friend urged me to consult a physician for evaluation. During the consultation, the doctor promptly recommended a biopsy, which I initially found unexpected given that I had been living with the lump for some time without significant concern. My daughter, deeply concerned for my well-being, proactively scheduled an appointment for me at Baheya Hospitals and Centers, recognizing their expertise in treating patients with similar conditions.

At Baheya, I underwent a comprehensive evaluation, including a mammogram and biopsy, on the same day. The subsequent diagnosis revealed multiple tumors, necessitating surgical intervention.

Throughout this challenging period, I struggled with significant emotional distress and overwhelming anxiety, primarily stemming from concerns for my children's well-being. However, their unwavering support and encouragement provided me with the strength to continue my treatment journey.

Following the surgery, my treatment plan included 21 radiation sessions, hormonal treatment, and blood thinners to prevent blood clots. Throughout this journey, I received exceptional care and support from the entire team at Baheya, including the physicians, nurses, and support staff.

Currently, I am undergoing hormonal treatment and actively engaged in psychological support sessions offered by Baheya. These sessions have proven invaluable, providing a platform for emotional expression, expert guidance, and the invaluable support of individuals going through similar experiences.
