Breast cancer treatment urgently required
This page has been created by Khawaja Mohammed Ahmed, the husband of Uzma Ahmed, and the beneficiary of this campaign. He's in charge of the medical bills.
Our mother's name is Uzma Ahmed, she is 48 years old, and she lives with us (her family) in south-west London (United Kingdom).
Back in February 2018 our mother was diagnosed with grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma in her right breast. In March 2018 the NHS doctors performed a mastectomy on the affected breast. Afterwards, a biopsy revealed the need for a second operation, which was performed in May 2018 (removal of lymph nodes).
12 weeks after the operation they should've started the chemotherapy treatment on our mother, but the NHS has refused to continue providing for free treatment, claiming she's not entitled due to her immigration status in the UK (which we're still fighting for). Our only option was to pay for her treatment privately, which costs around £50.000 per year + oncologist bills. We can't afford that amount of money, and that's the reason for this page. We've already spent all our savings for her private medical bills, and we have now nothing left.
Ever since, we've been liaising with lawyers, solicitors and private appointments to check our options and try to help her get treatment as soon as possible.
Our money has been mostly spent on private doctor check-ups to check the status of her cancer. Unfortunately, on our last appointment in January 2019, in the CT scan they've found the CANCER HAS RETURNED. We're absolutely helpless at this point: we don't have the money to pay for the chemotherapy, and the back-and-forth situation between lawyers and government doesn't seem to stop. Meanwhile, the cancer keeps spreading and our mother is not getting treatment for it.
We'd be really grateful for ANY amount you can help with as soon as possible. The doctor has given us 6 to 9 weeks for chemotherapy as she just started taking specific medication needed before the chemotherapy process starts. We're really in a desperate position at the moment, and the cancer keeps spreading and eating our mother away.
Her case has been defined by the doctors themselves as "VERY HIGH-RISK CANCER", and literally her life is at stake here.
Please find it in your heart to help our mother, we can’t fulfil her needs alone we definitely need GOD’s help and yours so she can laugh and enjoy life again. She is everything to us, and our rock... I know God tests us each in different ways…
