Save Mumtaz’s Life with Mastectomy
Mai Mumtaz's Story
Mai Mumtaz, a 49-year-old woman from Karachi, has been experiencing pain due to a lump in her right breast for the past six months. It has significantly affected her daily life, making even the simplest tasks a struggle. Additionally, the swelling and discomfort in her right breast make it difficult for her to sleep peacefully at night. She went to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After performing a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed her with right breast cancer. Breast carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the breast tissue, presenting as a lump or other changes in the breast. To restore her quality of life, the doctor advised Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). However, the financial burden of this critical treatment is far beyond her means.
Without timely surgery, Mumtaz’s condition will deteriorate rapidly. The cancer may spread to other parts of her body, leading to life-threatening complications. Delaying the surgery may also reduce the chances of successful treatment, putting her life at severe risk.
Mai Mumtaz lives in a rented house with her husband and their six children. Her husband, a retired worker, relies on a monthly pension of PKR 15,000. Their son works at a private company and contributes to the household, bringing the total family income to PKR 50,000. With a house rent of PKR 15,000, utility bills of PKR 5000, and additional living expenses, they are struggling to make ends meet. Among their six children, one son and one daughter are pursuing their education, and the other ones are married. The overwhelming cost of breast cancer surgery is beyond their reach, leaving Mumtaz and her family feeling helpless in this difficult time. Mumtaz contacted Transparent Hands and asked for help.
Mumtaz shared her heartfelt plea as follows:
“I want to live without this constant pain. My family depends on me, and I wish to be there for them and to care for my children. Your support can help me fight this battle and reclaim my health. Please help me during this time of need.”
