Dear Family and Friends,
I would like to introduce you to Hashim Raza. He is residing in a small town in Pakistan.
Since last February, he has been fighting cancer (you can refer to the pinned post on his profile for further details).
The doctors diagnosed him with STAGE 4 STOMACH and INTESTINAL CANCER.
Hashim is only 24 years old; he needs our Duas and Financial support to fight in this critical phase of his life.
Support! Please spread the word and engage your community and help me raise funds for him to save his life!

- May 5, 2021:
- EUS: Diffusely infiltrated all 4 layers of the pyloric end of the stomach, causing luminal compromise. Multiple perigastric lymph nodes have seen less than 1cm.MALToma with GOO?
- Stomach biopsy: fibrinous material with a single fragment of smooth muscle, consistent with sampling from gastric wall tissue. No evidence of malignancy.

- Dec 15, 2021: CT CHEST ABD PELVIS: Small Bowel loops clumped indicate abdominal cocoon formation with diffuse peritoneal thickening and possible diffuse peritoneal sclerosis. Mild large bowel edema. Moderate abdominopelvic ascites. Lungs and bones are unremarkable.
- Dec 30, 2021: Peritoneal (ascitic ) fluid cytology: suspicious for malignant cells CK 7 +ve, CEA scattered atypical cells, PAS +ve in cells
- Dec 31, 2021, Peritoneal Fluid cytopathology: Metastatic carcinoma, favoring gastrointestinal origin. CAM5.2 + ve, CDX2 +ve , WT1 & Calretinin highlights reactive mesothelial cells.Serum CA 19-9 782 HIGH | Serum CEA 0.991 normal. Stage IV metastatic carcinoma with Primary from gastric.

- Feb 2, 2022: A PET scan was done, which showed no FDG avid viable disease or discrete mass lesion in the gut loops or elsewhere in the body.
- Feb 9, 2022: The third dose of chemotherapy was given.
- Feb 15, 2022: Due to obstructive symptoms, the patient was then shifted on TPN through a PICC line.
