Shahbaz Ali's Story

Shahbaz Ali, a 49-year-old resident of Lahore, has been dealing with a lump in the right parotid region for the past 1.5 years. Recently, the swelling has rapidly increased, causing great concern. Seeking answers, Shahbaz underwent a fine needle aspiration cytology, which revealed clusters of atypical cells with large nuclei and prominent nucleoli. The diagnosis pointed towards the possibility of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma or Salivary Duct Carcinoma, leaving Shahbaz in urgent need of treatment.

Living in a small two-room house with his wife and four children, Shahbaz’s financial situation presents an additional barrier. As a security guard, he earns a modest income of PKR 14,000 per month. With no other source of income, he shoulders the responsibility of providing for his family’s needs. Utility bills amount to PKR 700, while educational expenses for his children reach PKR 4,000. Daily expenses further strain their limited budget, leaving Shahbaz unable to afford the surgical expenses required for his treatment. Shahbaz’s situation is dire, and he faces a formidable challenge.

Shahbaz said it with teary eyes:

“I yearn for the chance to fight this illness and be there for my children as they grow. Please, help me overcome this obstacle and give me a fighting chance.”

Shahbaz Ali's Story

Shahbaz Ali, a 49-year-old man from Lahore, Pakistan, had been living with a concerning lump in his right parotid region for over a year and a half. Recently, the swelling had rapidly increased, causing great distress. After undergoing a fine needle aspiration cytology, the diagnosis pointed to the possibility of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma or Salivary Gland - a serious condition requiring urgent treatment.

Shahbaz's financial situation presented a significant barrier, as the required surgical expenses were beyond his means. Living in a small two-room house with his wife and four children, the cost of treatment threatened to put an immense strain on his family.

Recognizing the gravity of Shahbaz's situation, Transparent Hands stepped in to provide the necessary support. With the generosity of donors, Shahbaz was admitted to CMH Hospital in Lahore, where Dr. Asad Aizaz performed the critical surgery of Parotid tumor resection with neck dissection on May 21, 2024.

Thanks to the compassion and kindness of the donors, Shahbaz underwent the successful surgery and was discharged from the hospital after just two days. This timely intervention has given Shahbaz a renewed sense of hope and the opportunity to continue providing for his loved ones.
